Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1160

Carissa and the others had been waiting for Isaac and Violet's return. When they heard that they had gone to Silverstone Estate and laid everything out, Carissa couldn't help but feel uneasy. The situation with the Earl of Silverstone's family was complicated right now. "Don't worry, we didn't reconcile or formally acknowledge each other," Isaac reassured Carissa with a light pat on the shoulder and a brief smile. "At first, it was moving, but then it just seemed...insincere."

On the way back, he found himself reflecting more and more on the scene with Evelyn. The more he thought about her words, the clearer everything became.

Compared to Caspian's sincere display of emotion, every word Evelyn spoke had felt like it was meant for herself, not for him. It also explained why she never asked how he had been or cared about his well-being-she was only concerned with whether he and Zoey believed her story, not with him as a person.

Carissa frowned, confused, and looked at Violet for clarification. However, Violet simply shook her head, just as uncertain.

"Go ahead and sleep. It's late," Isaac said, walking away with his hands behind his back. His light-hearted demeanor made it clear that he wasn't weighed down by the events, which seemed to put everyone else at ease as well.

Violet stayed behind to fill them in. Caspian and Evelyn had both been very emotional, crying uncontrollably. As for Isaac's comment about feeling insincerity, she wasn't sure what he meant either.

Carissa learned that Zoey had also been present, so she said, "I'll ask Madam Zoey about it next time."

Carissa hadn't brought it up with Zoey before because Isaac hadn't said anything. Now that it was out in the open, nothing was stopping her from asking.

The following day, Zoey herself came to visit before Carissa had the chance to go to her. She got straight to the point and presented two matters.
