Aurora seemed to know the answer in her heart, but she remained unsettled and unwilling to accept it.

"When you loved me, was it just a momentary infatuation?" she asked.

Barrett remained unable to answer. He didn't know.

His feelings for Aurora were genuine at the time, but whether they were merely a passing fancy, he couldn't clearly say.

Because after marrying Aurora and divorcing Carissa, he felt a pang of regret. He remembered telling Solomon that he hoped Carissa wouldn't regret her decision, but in truth, he knew that he himself had begun to regret it.

Didn't he love Aurora then? He certainly did.

But couldn't a man's heart hold space for two women?

How many men take multiple wives and concubines? Carissa couldn't accept it, and perhaps he was angered by his own broken promises. In any case, with Melanie now dead, he no longer needed to answer to the Duke of Northwatch's family for his promises.
