THE CRIES OF GIRL CHILD!
Ruth waited outside Edwin's chamber after Mrs Payne left. Ruth asked her what they talked about inside, but all she received in response was- Do not worry. Everything is fine.
Ruth contemplated going inside. But she had no idea of what was the situation with Edwin. What if he threw her out in anger?
"Miss Ruth"
"Huh?" She looked up at the burly man stationed outside the chamber.
"You must go inside. Master is asking for you."
Ruth blinked at him dumbfoundedly. Edwin was asking for her? But how did this man know that without moving from his place?
Ruth opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again. She held on to the handle of the door after passing a small smile in that man's way.
With a long breath dragged in, she opened the door to see Edwin sitting in the same place as before. He seemed lost in his thoughts. He looked in Ruth's way after she closed the door behind her with a click.
She walked towards him but stopped at some distance from him.
