Chapter 181

The next day, Madeline stood by the front door where she watched Victor leave in his carriage again. 

During Victor's busy time preparing them should Zayne's plans go wrong, he had to speak to the town guards who had to know where Rose came from. After hearing Rose's story of how the town guards were not of any help, Madeline didn't want the guards to see Rose yet to disappoint her once more so she sent Victor to tell Rose's story.

"The manor is suddenly so busy. We must do something to help the girls not worry. What do you suggest?" Madeline asked Emmett.

"The lady is interested in the fields behind the manor. The wood gates are up and the lord has placed guards there. Perhaps it is time you allowed her to venture. A good day is upon us for a picnic," Emmett suggested.
