章節 337: Rose with thorns (2)

The hardest task Edgar experienced in his life was convincing Alessandra that it was Reed returning home with work for him to do and if they did not move now, their moment would be interrupted. Alessandra didn't believe it at first but with some luck, Edgar was able to wash away her doubt.

While Edgar locked their bedroom door and even placed a chair behind it as an extra precaution when Alessandra went into the bathroom, Rose entered the front door of the house.

"Where is Alfred?" Rose asked as loud as her voice could go. She took a trip straight to Lockwood the moment news of what happened to Alfred reached her ears. Now that she was here the house was too quiet for her liking.

"Lady Collins," a passing maid greeted her, shock evident in the young woman's voice as she was not informed of Rose Collins visiting the home. There was always so much to be done whenever Edgar's grandmother was in town.
