Chapter 385: Doppelganger
The tea was fun, the entire time Abrielle felt Fiona had something to say to her, but couldn’t in front of the other girls.
"Thanks for coming over," Cecilia chimed, bidding Abrielle farewell. "I enjoyed my time," Abrielle replied. They walked through the main door. The group of ladies came across a handsome man Abrielle had never seen before at the door

"What are you doing here Richard?" She blurted, her eyes nervously darting around. Abrielle and Fiona heard her but pretended not to. They walked down the stairs leaving the couple. Cecilia took Richard’s appearance as a hint to leave.
"I had to come see you in the morning. It is hard for me to stay away." He admitted his eyes were sincerely staring at her.
"Don’t sound like that, I already told you I need time to think about this ", Camilla replied. This was embarrassing. She just didn’t understand why Richard could not give up.
"There is a war at the border. From what I heard, things are getting worse, and the next place the intruders will attack is Vitalis. I don’t want to take the risk. I am ready to fulfil any demands. I have even started searching for other homes away from Caroline and the boys." He insisted. Camilla was thrown into deep thought. She has heard about the rumours of the wars too.
