Edgar returned one hour later with a stack of clothes in his hands, followed by two servants carrying boxes filled with his personal stuff. He intentionally didn't knock, for fear Clara was asleep.
So, he slowly opened the door and motioned the servants to follow him inside.
His guess was right. When he entered the chamber, he saw Clara was leaning on the couch's backrest and closed her eyes. There was a book in her hands which was half-open.
He walked without a sound toward Clara and tilted his head to read what the book was about. It was a book about gardening.
The man chuckled. His future wife was truly a woman's woman. Clara was very feminine and liked things related to home and gardening. Perhaps, later, she would also immerse herself in knowledge about child-rearing after they had children.
Ahh... Edgar smiled to himself when his mind wandered to the future as he imagined a life with Clara and how they would raise a family together.
