Chapter 109

How To Make More Money

A few days passed and Soren had regained his strength. While I was pleased with his healing process, more and more. I found I couldn’t be as carefree around him as before.

More and more, I had to remind myself to plaster a smile across my lips.

Things were different now, I felt different.

I felt as if the emotions I was going through were almost robotic, and even though I wanted to believe Soren with all my heart, I just couldn’t.

Ethan lied to me… but so did Soren.

I questioned myself over and over. Had everything up until that point just been part of Soren’s game?

Seraphine stopped by and slid the cup of tea towards me. “You seemed a bit preoccupied. Drink this, it will help to calm your nerves.”

I thanked her and took a sip. The hot liquid washed down my throat, slightly easing the tension in my mind.

“Do you know if Soren will be back for dinner tonight?” I asked.

My question brought a grin to Seraphine’s face.

“I find it sweet that you are so concerned about him. He doesn’t know how to quit working,” she replied with a grin, “but I believe he will be back this afternoon.”

“In that case, I should have enough time to clean up the house,” i nodded. I felt it would be best to keep myself busy.

“Miss Ro, you can just leave the house to me.” I turned around and saw Lola, who now spent most of the time on Papeno helping out her master. There wasn’t much she needed to do back in Soren’s place in Avondale.

Seraphine agreed with her, “Why don’t you find something fun to do?”

I thought for a moment and decided to do something to cheer myself up. It felt like it had been a while since I last went into the nursery. Yes, just thinking about spending time in my baby’s space brought a smile to my face.

In addition, it might not be a bad idea to start planning what I would take with me if and when I decided to part ways with Soren.

“Seraphine, I’ll check a few things in the baby’s room,” I replied. “I’ll call if I need any help.”

Seraphine and Lola looked at each other, and they could tell that I wanted to be alone at the moment.

“Of course, dear,” Seraphine replied.

As soon as I entered the nursery, I was in a better mood.

Seraphine’s tea might have helped a little to soothe my tense nerves, but being in the nursery helped a lot more.

However, something on the ground drew my attention.

It was a letter addressed to me.

Confusion laced my mind. There were only very few who knew about my whereabouts… who would have written to me, and how did it get in here?

I went to pick it up, and as I was about to break the wax seal, Lola appeared at the door.copy right hot novel pub
