After the door closed, Clarissa rested her hands on her knees, still somewhat uneasy. “What did you hope to achieve by probing Adelaide just now?”

“And now that you’ve seen she will defend him, how does that make you feel?”

Erasmus’s smile turned somewhat wistful. “I’m happy for him, of course. At least I know Adelaide’s feelings for him are genuine.”

Erasmus’s face momentarily froze, his smile fading and replaced with gravity. “Thank you for the reminder. I understand.”

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Does it not bother you? The way you still treat Adelaide so kindly.”
