Chapter 406
The night was filled with lively festivities that lasted until past midnight, after which everyone retired to their
rooms to sleep.
Ryan was exhausted beyond measure, but he held on as much as he could. At the end of the night, Travis carried
him back to their room.
Rafael held Carissa close in the warmth of their bed, hoping to warm not just her body but her heart as well. He
expected her to say something, but she remained silent, quietly lying in his embrace with even breaths. He
couldn't tell if she had fallen asleep.
However, Carissa was not asleep. She couldn't sleep, and she didn’t want to move or speak. Sthings, she
believed, had to be endured silently. She would grit her teeth through the pain. Twould eventually cover the
wounds,sealing away the hurt.
That was her usual way of coping.
What was different now was that she had someone who truly cared
for her.
Rafael felt a pang of sadness in his heart, mostly from the pain he felt for her. She would smile at him when she

only presented him with calm, rationality, and smiles.
He had never heard her say she was in love with him, except once to Ryan, but he knew that was a lie meant to
placate Ryan.
At that time, Rafael had taken it seriously, and naturally, he was deceiving himself.
He somewhat blamed his older brother After returning from the

At least, Carissa knew he had once wished to marry her, which proved to her that his feelings were genuine.
Carissa had barely fallen asleep by dawn. Since Helen was staying in the palace, Carissa didn’t have to wake up
early to greet Helen.
However, she was soon awoken by the sound of fireworks. After lying in bed in a daze for a while, she decided to
get up and change.
Lulu cto help her with her hair, and said, “His Highness went to the main courtyard early this morning to
receive guests. Sofficials have cfor a visit.”
“Were any ladies accompanying them?” Carissa esked.
As the mistress of Hell Monarch Estate, it was her duty to entertain any visiting ladies.
“No. According to Ms. Spencer, they're just a few military officers.” Lulu replied.
“Has Vivi gotten up too?” Carissa touched her pale cheek. “Apply smakeup for me. If guests arrive later and

Just don’t see them, then.” After knowing Carissa was up, Violet swaggered into her bedroom. Tsk, tsk! What kind

Violet raised her foot, caught the box, and kicked it back. “It's New Year's Day today. No need to speak so
rudely.”
Carissa caught the makeup box with one hand and smiled as she handed it to Lulu. Lulu had been caught in their
back-and-forth and looked rather confused, but fortunately, the makeup didn’t fall to the floor or get spilled.
After Lulu had finished helping Carissa with her hair, Violet pouted playfully. “Lulu, dear, step outside for a bit. |

Lulu laughed and replied, “Ms. Spencer, you should just speak
bluntly. Why the need to pout and twist your body like that? People might think you're having a fit.”
Carissa chuckled softly.
Violet struck a pose. “You don’t understand. This is called being charming.”
After Lulu tidied up, she brushed her hair behind her ears and winked. “This is charming. See?”
With that, she left with a smile.
Violet moved a chair over and sat beside Carissa, examining themselves in the mirror. “Ugh, she outshone me.
So frustrating.”
Violet continued casually, “Claire wrote back. My grandfather didn’t promiseto Yuvan, but my cousin was
willing. She spent an Sentire night kneeling in the cold at my grandfather's house before he
finally agreed to it.”
Carissa frowned. “Does your cousin not know his character?”
