Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 291

Barrett eventually decided to seek out Aurora. He didn't want to argue anymore-they needed to have a proper conversation.

When he entered the room, he found her curled up in a blanket on the chaise lounge, a black veil on her face as usual. Ever since she obtained the scars on her face, she had made a variety of veils in different colors. She refused to leave the house without wearing a veil or a hood.

In the past, whenever they met, Aurora always had the look of someone ready for a fight, as if she could start a battle with Barrett at any moment. But today, she looked weak and sickly. When she saw her husband, she merely glanced up before lowering her gaze, ignoring him altogether.

The maid standing by her side noticed and said, "General Warren, you're finally here. Madam Aurora has been ill for two days."

Barrett knew his wife had called for a physician, so he asked, "Are you feeling any better?"

Aurora turned away from him, refusing to respond.

It seemed that neither of them wanted to argue today.

Barrett sat down in a chair and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Someone from Northwatch Estate came by today to demand payment."

Aurora's eyes grew cold. She already knew, as her maid had informed her earlier,
