Chapter 118: A Dreadful Message

Reaching the garden like William's had told her to, she found Nicholas waiting at the arbor. He kept pacing back and forth, looking bothered about something and it made Anna hesitate to take the next step.

"Why does he look so bothered?" She questioningly murmured to herself, unwilling to move and different ideas flashed in her head that instant. Was his wound hurting again? Did William's mention anything about what happened the other day? Could it be that he still saw them and chose to tell regardless?

'no.' She shook her head at the thought, if William's really did, he would have outrightly said it to her. So what could possibly be the problem?

Unable to think of an issue that somehow, negatively connected with her, she eased her heart beat and cleared her mind before striding towards the arbor to meet him.
