章節 165: Closer (2)

"Edgar," Alessandra popped her head into the room with the bar where the butler told her Edgar was last spotted. She found him lying on a long couch with his hand covering his face and an empty wine glass on the small table beside the chair. "Is he sleeping?" She questioned after receiving no response from him. 

Alessandra entered the small room with the basket the butler was more than happy to prepare for her. She closed the door behind her to give them some privacy from the servants if Edgar was truly sleeping. 

She carefully placed the basket on the table next to the empty glass and stooped down beside where Edgar lay to get a good look at him. "You have been really tired. I'm sorry for waking you up early this morning and having you hold me in the carriage while I slept," she whispered enough that he might not be able to hear it if he was awake.
