Chapter 444
How could Viola not wish to conceive an heir soon? Yet, she had her own silent struggles.
It seemed that Barrett was not very enthusiastic about intimacy, and even when he did engage, he appeared
somewhat lacking in strength. It was puzzling. He was a capital guard and in good health. How could this be?
Viola ensured her husband's diet was nourishing, and even considered consulting a physician for him, but
refrained for fear it might embarrass him. She felt an indescribable discontent. Though her life seemed smooth,
there was an underlying frustration that she couldn’t pinpoint.
Just then, her sister-in-law, Zoey, the current mistress of the Prince family’s household, arrived to deliver
medicinal food to Evelyn. She was surprised to hear that Viola also wanted to attend Helen's banquet.
“If Viola wants to go, let her. After all, she is acquainted with Lady. Carissa. Even though the Warren family has
not received an invitation, it’s fine for her to join us,” Evelyn said.
Zoey furrowed her brow. “Mother, Viola is still a member of the Warren family, and Lady Carissa was once
married to Viola's current husband.

It would be awkward if she went.”
“Zoey, don’t worry. Lady Carissa and | won't be uncomfortable. We've spoken privately before, and she has
always been very kind to me,” Viola reassured.
“Have you spoken since you both got remarried?” Zoey asked.
Viola hesitated but managed to say, “Yes, a while ago, we met on the street. | dismounted to greet her, and she
spoke tocourteously.”
Zoey thought for a moment but shook her head. “Meeting privately is
u
one thing, but with so many guests at the banquet, your presence might make Lady Carissa uncomfortable.”
Viola smiled. “Zoey, please don’t worry. Lady Carissa isn't petty. She has even invitedto her hbefore.”
Zoey looked at her younger sister-in-law, feeling that her words might not fully capture the situation.
Considering Viola and Carissa’s
relationship, they would typically avoid each other in public to steer clear of any unwanted gossip.
Evelyn's expression grew stern. “Enough. If she wants to go, let her. Now that Barrett has been demoted, Viola
must think about his future ”
Hearing her mother-in-law’s decision, Zoey had no further objections.
“We'll do as you say, Mother.”
However, even after Zoey left the room, her brows remained furrowed.
Her maid, Mia, asked, “Madam Zoey, is it because you don’t want Madam Viola to go?”
“Why would she want to go? Is she trying to make things difficult for everyone? Zoey shook her head. “But
Mother has always been indulgent towards her. Whatever she has asked for over the years, Mother has never
opposed. If | stop her now, Mother might hold at grudge against me
Zoey thought further, adding, “Besides, the Farrell family’s men were once under the command of the Duke of
Northwatch, and later followed the Hell Monarch. | heard that General Timothy has returned to the capital, so the
Farrell family will definitely be on the guest list. Didn't she consider that? How will she face the Farrell family

comes?”
“But didn’t the Farrell family issue her a divorce letter? They must have hoped she would remarry, not spend her
life mourning for her former
husband. The Farrell family is kind-hearted. They probably wish to see her remarried,” Mia replied.
“But she married Barrett, who betrayed the Hell Monarch’s princess. consort. The Farrell family were all followers
of the Duke of Northwatch back then,” Zoey protested.
Zoey hadn't forgotten that her younger sister-in-law had once compared her dowry with that of the Hell
Monarch’s princess consort. Viola had been quite pleased with herself, thinking her dowry would surpass
Carissa’s, only to be dismayed when many valuable items were added to Carissa’s trousseau just before the
wedding. Viola had even cursed in frustration over it.
Zoey didn’t believe Viola could have a calm conversation with Carissa. Even if Carissa was kind, it was likely out
of respect for the Prince family rather than genuine warmth.
“On the day of the birthday banquet, keep a close watch on her,” Zoey instructed. “My husband has just taken
up command. We can’t afford any criticism because of her.”
“I understand, Madam Zoey. You can rest assured,” Mia replied.
