Effectively that was that. I used to be fairly positive it was throughout. Edward was clearly very harm and really indignant. It appeared I had carried out irreparable harm to our relationship by telling him the reality. However I didn’t have a selection. I knew I needed to do it since he was going to seek out out in the end. It was only a matter of time. There was merely an excessive amount of incriminating proof ready to be discovered.

I didn’t really feel like going dwelling but, so wandered across the Ferry Constructing for some time. The rain had stopped so I walked outdoors to the Embarcadero and sat on a moist waterfront bench with a few noisy seagulls whereas I stared out on the bay. There have been a few sailboats out on the water, which jogged my memory of the extremely romantic crusing weekend we had and prompted me to tear up. I made a decision I’d as properly simply head for dwelling.

After I walked into the home I couldn’t assist however surprise if it even was nonetheless my dwelling. I plopped down on the lounge couch and the water works began yet again. Nigel heard my sniffling and immediately got here in to see if he may very well be of some assist.

“I don’t know the way for much longer I’ll be dwelling right here Nigel. Edward’s fairly mad at me.”

“Did he lastly uncover the key you and his grandfather shared Miss Julia?”

I used to be floored by Nigel’s query. You could possibly’ve knocked me over with a feather.

“You recognize about all that Nigel?”

“In fact. A clever butler all the time is aware of every thing…….”

“Wow. I don’t know what to say. So that you knew however you didn’t say something to Edward.”

“As his butler, my job is to serve him. As his good friend, my job is to take care of him. There’s a definite distinction, however as each his butler and his good friend… I consider you’re the most effective factor that ever occurred to that man, Julia Jones.”

“You’re wonderful Nigel…… you already know that?”

“Proper again at you Miss Julia. I do know you’ve solely had Edward’s greatest curiosity at coronary heart this complete time. As did his grandfather… We’ve all been working for a typical trigger. And belief me……Edward will notice that earlier than he even walks by way of the door tonight. The truth is, I’ll guess he comes dwelling early to apologize to you. You’ll see.”

“I want I may very well be as positive about that as you’re Nigel. For those who might have seen his face…..he was so harm.”

“However he’s grown fairly a bit previously few weeks Miss Julia, in no small half as a consequence of you. It’s not going to take him lengthy to determine this one out.”

“And if he doesn’t?” I requested quietly.

“A great butler is aware of when to hit somebody upside his silly head.”

“Thanks a lot Nigel. You all the time know simply the fitting factor to say to consolation me.”

Nigel kissed me on the highest of my head.

“If I’ll take the freedom Miss Julia, you might have all the time felt considerably like a daughter to me.”

“Awww I believe I’m gonna cry once more…..”

“And I believe I hear Edward’s automobile developing the driveway already. Proper on schedule.”

“Oh my God Nigel that’s him! That’s his automobile! You’re wonderful!”

“Miss Julia, might I counsel you dry your eyes and go clean up. You could stand agency on this. You’ve carried out nothing improper. There’s no purpose so that you can maintain apologizing about it.”

“Okay…..Sure you’re proper. Stall him if it’s worthwhile to Nigel. I’ll be again out in a pair minutes.”

I bumped into the grasp toilet and seemed within the mirror. Yikes! Nigel was proper once more. I didn’t appear to be a powerful lady. I seemed like a forlorn little lady.

I heard the storage door open and shortly after, the sound of muffled voices as Edward greeted Nigel within the entryway. Time for me to go face the music….

After I got here out Edward was already sitting on the couch together with his necktie off and Nigel was handing him a martini. I took a seat on the alternative finish of the sofa.

“Would you want a drink Miss Julia?”
