After seeing off Evelyn and Viola, Carissa sat in the living room for a while, lost in thought.

What was Barrett’s attitude towards this marriage? Wasn’t he only in love with Aurora?

Carissa remembered how Aurora had once come to her with such haughty disdain.

How would Aurora feel now, knowing that a new lady of the house had appeared so soon? Would she think that her earlier arrogance was utterly laughable?

Although Viola wasn’t the easiest person to deal with, she was from the Earl of Silverston’s family, making her the most suitable choice for managing the household. Moreover, Rebecca would likely be very pleased with this daughter–in–law.

Even though it was Viola’s second marriage, the substantial dowry and the capable family background were qualities that Rebecca appreciated. She had always favored a daughter–in–law from a strong family.
