Chapter 17

It’s close to dinner and I have yet to see the person who was supposed to be my husband. I was trying to reach a conclusion on whether he was a workaholic or was just avoiding me since he knew I would be at home by this time.

After the delicious brunch I had at the kitchen with Lorenzo, I came back to my room and that is where I have been ever since, my only company being my phone which I was getting bored of.

I was considering going down for dinner but had to hold myself back until I was called by the staff. I didn’t want them to start seeing me as an overeater on my first day of living here. I could not stop thinking of Lorenzo’s food, that man was a beast in the kitchen and it also didn’t help that he was freaking attractive.

I know I am married now and I should probably keep my eyes off men but I could still admire them and I’m sure Atticus won’t mind since he wasn’t at all concerned with anything that had to do with me.
