Chapter 16: Family Trouble (1)
At the far back of the upper west quarters, lies the main market that had been closed for the day. The weather had dulled up the street that was now empty of passerby, and the rain poured heavier onto the street, creating a puddle and causing splashes along the empty dark road.
Moving away from the market street and further ahead, a big tall closed iron gate shielded the homes of large nobilities. The upper east quarters was filled with different estates, belonging to those who had the highest nobilities in Carmarthen.
It was said that most people who lived in the upper east quarters, barely stayed in their large estates. Stories of wealthy men coming into Carmarthen and buying those estates without living in them, got to spread around the four sectors of Carmarthen.
It didn’t come as a surprise to those living in the rest quarters. It was common for the wealthy to buy houses in different places. Either with the intention of showing off their wealth, or making their important standards known in a society.
Inside one of those beautiful large estates, Lady Elaine remained wide awake in her living room. She was sitting on a couch, legs crossed and effortlessly portraying the position of an affluent woman.
However, her brows were furrowed slightly in worry.
She looked seriously disturbed as the rumbling sound of thunder boomed outside. The pitter-patter sounds of rain dropping and mixing with the rumbling only heightened her worries, and sitting on the couch without doing anything made her uncomfortable.
Her beautiful fingers clutched against her skirt as her eyes shifted to the door from time to time, like she was expecting someone to show up at the last minute and relieve her of her inescapable worries.
Looking up at the clock that hung at the side of the wall, it was 11;45pm, and still her son wasn’t back yet.
