Her Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 465

Chapter 465

After Margaret took her leave, Helen hurried into the sitting hall.

However, she only found Carissa sitting alone, leisurely sipping coffee, her expression contemplative.

Helen frowned and asked, “Wasn’t Madam Winchester supposed to be here? I rushed over, thinking I’d get to have a chat with her.”

Carissa rose and curtsied gracefully. “Mother, Madam Winchester just left a short while ago.”

“She’s gone?” Helen said, out of breath, sinking into a chair. “Wasn’t she here to talk to me?”

Her disappointment was evident. She thought Margaret had been here to see her. Helen often envied Eleanor, who was always surrounded by visitors from high society.

“She was here for you as well,” Carissa explained gently. “But when she heard you were still recovering from last night’s festivities, she didn’t want to disturb you and left early.”

With just one glance at Helen’s expression, Carissa could tell what was on her mind. Her mother–in–law’s thoughts were never hard to guess.

“Overindulging in wine has its consequences,” Helen muttered, her thoughts turning to her son’s outburst the previous night. She glanced at Carissa carefully, and asked, “Did Rafael give you a hard time last night?”
