Edwin was pacing around in his office anxiously. For some reason, he suddenly began feeling restless. Something in his chest changed, making his chest feel heavy.
Was Ruth alright?
That was the very first thought that came to his mind. But he had received a message that her carriage had safely crossed the last point of his spy network.
And if anything would have gone wrong, then Ida or Henry would have contacted him in one way or another.
Then why was he feeling so uneasy all of a sudden?
"Come on, Edwin! Stop overthinking it. You told Rees that you should trust your mate, and now you are acting contrary to your words. Ruth is fine... she must be fine!
And even if something troubled her then trust her to handle it on her own. Don't be so possessive that she would misunderstand your care for your unfaithfulness in her capabilities!"
Edwin was talking with himself, trying to calm his nerves when he heard a whistle.
