Chapter 210: His True Intention
Meredith sat on the plush chair, her mind filled with thoughts and worries about what was happening. The silence in the mansion only heightened her concerns, as she hadn’t heard any further arguments or signs of fighting since the temporary cease.
Meanwhile, Sylvia was delighted with the butter cookie and spread served by Rosalie. The delectable taste of the dessert pleased her palate as it crumbled and melted on her tongue. She couldn’t help but savour each bite.
"This tastes so good! Mer, don’t you want some?" Sylvia asked, extending the plate towards her friend.
Meredith shook her head, her appetite diminished by her anxious state.
"I don’t feel too hungry," she replied, her voice reflecting her unease.
"Do you want me to get you something else, my lady?" Rosalie asked politely.
"No, thank you. I appreciate your hospitality. You may leave for now. I’m sure the lady will take some time to meet us. We will help ourselves," Meredith responded, grateful for the chief maid’s attentiveness.
"Very well, then. Please ring the bell and let me know if you require anything. I will attend to you accordingly," Rosalie said, bowing respectfully to the noblewomen.
Rania, who had accompanied them, also nodded to Rosalie as a gesture of respect. The chief maid excused herself, leaving the two friends and Meredith’s personal maid in the quiet room.
Meredith’s mind continued to race with worry as they awaited Anna’s arrival, and she hoped that their concerns would soon be addressed.
Noticing Meredith’s troubled expression, Sylvia stopped eating and set the cookies aside. She wiped her mouth using a handkerchief, then turned her eyes to Meredith before speaking gently, "You’re being too worried right now. You should try to calm down a bit."
