Chapter 292: Where is Alfred? (2)

"My lady, your son does not appear to be here."

"So his butler is alone. Alert Federick that I am in need of his services right now. If he does not come right away I shall cut ties with him. Move quickly," Priscilla ordered the maid. "I cannot waste this chance."

Priscilla stared at the shop Alfred had long entered but not come out of. She hated the sight of him to her very core. It would hurt any mother to see their child care for someone else after the pain she was burdened with to bring Edgar into this world. 

Alfred had the relationship she wished to have with Edgar and if Alfred was out of the picture, perhaps Edgar would cling to her for affection. She barely had her husband so she should at least have her only child. 

"He won't ever speak to me again if he finds out," she whispered.
