Rafael waited patiently for a long time. When Carissa remained silent, he felt no disappointment. Sooner or later, she would come to truly love him and express it in her own words. Their lifetime together was long, and he was willing to wait.

The next day, Carissa, accompanied by Violet and Rowan, visited Gracehold Estate with some generous gifts.

The Earl of Gracehold's wife, Abigail, greeted them with her family. Samuel was the eldest legitimate son and the heir of the earl. With his noble background, accomplishments, and good looks, he was indeed someone many women would eagerly pursue.

As a princess consort, Carissa was accorded a grand reception.

It was known that the Earl of Gracehold, Noah Langley, had many concubines. However, none were present that day. Only the wives from the second, third, and fourth branches of the family, along with their children, came out to meet Carissa and her entourage.

Abigail appeared to be around forty. She was slightly plump, but exuded the shrewdness and elegance of a seasoned matriarch.

Noah's sons and daughters came out to pay their respects. Carissa personally presented the gifts. After conversing pleasantly with them for a while, the Langley family members were ushered outside by Abigail.

Carissa's gaze then fell on Leona. Leona was still in the early stages of pregnancy, but her eyes were reddish, and she looked notably thinner.

Carissa's heart ached for her.

Abigail noticed this, and smiled as she said, "Leona has been unable to keep any food down since her pregnancy began-everything she eats makes her sick. Only recently has she started to feel a bit better." Carissa understood that a pregnant woman needed extra care, both physically and emotionally.

Though Abigail seemed shrewd, she didn't appear to be the type of harsh mother-in-law. Her gaze towards Leona was gentle and kind.
