Chapter 29: Dress Shopping

Liliana's POV

The drive back to the city was quiet. Darick had left word with Mrs. Medford that her husband should return Liliana to her apartment over the flower shop.

"I'm sorry, miss. Unfortunately, there was a crisis in Europe which we had to prepare his shipment to handle. I'm sure Mr. Xander will be in touch to communicate the details. We all look forward to having your presence here at the estate as the Mistress of the household."

Liliana had been stunned by the change of plans. What on earth could have been so crucial that Darick could not return her home. Nevertheless, this would be a situation that she felt would arise in their life together. It was also one that she planned to discuss the handling in future circumstances in a matter far different from today.

"There was one last thing from Mr. Xander."
