"Why do you want to hide that rogue from me?"
Ruth froze in shock. She had not expected that coming in her way.
Sensing her confusion, Edwin clarified, "No, Neither Ida nor Kevin told me about it. The coachman told."
Ruth clenched her jaw. How could she forget him?!
But now that everything was open, she found no reason to deny it.
"Edwin... I..."
He took her hands in his and kissed her palm. Holding them to his chest, he smiled softly at her.
"Don't worry, I haven't thought about any negative possibilities. I want to hear you first than jumping on the conclusions and I also know that if you wanted that then it must be for a good reason. I just want to know that reason."
Ruth's heart flooded with love and admiration for that cerulean-blue-eyed man.
What good deeds she had done in the past life to deserve such a unique man?!
Ruth gulped down the lump that formed in her throat and smiled through the tears. "Thank you... for waiting for me to explain!"
