Margaret insisted on accepting only one silver coin. No matter how Carissa tried to persuade her otherwise, the older woman simply refused to take more. In the end, Carissa had no choice but to accept Margaret’s gesture of goodwill.

As Margaret was about to leave, she said, “I feel a connection with you, my dear. If you ever find the time, you’re welcome to visit my humble home. Or perhaps, I could come to your residence and we could have a chat.”

This was a clear indication that Margaret wished for their two families to maintain a relationship in the future.

Carissa understood that this wasn’t an attempt to curry favor. She was well aware of the traditions in the Marquis of Ironridge’s household. They had no need to ingratiate themselves with anyone. After all, they were a prestigious family with a hundred–year legacy, with many of their members holding high–ranking positions at court.

Regardless, it was always better to have more friends than enemies, especially when there was a meaningful connection like the bracelet between them.

As she personally saw Margaret out, Carissa smiled and nodded. “It would be my honor, Madam Winchester. I look forward to it.”

After bidding the older woman farewell, Carissa made her way to the part of the estate where her mother’s wing was located–Brightwell Hall. Carissa sat on the chaise lounge where her mother loved to sit and slipped the bracelet onto her wrist. As soon as she closed her eyes, tears fell like rain.
