NovelAppChapter 1069 +25 BONUS Viola didn't know what to do, so she decided to let the cold war drag on.
After all, it was she who brought up divorce. Barrett only agreed in a moment of impulse. If they really went through with it, he would never find another wife.
Who would want him? The only chance he'd have would be to marry a merchant's daughter or a commoner. No family with any kind of status would ever accept him.
"Let's not speak of tonight again," Viola said, sounding tired as she closed her eyes. Tomorrow, send for the physician. Tell them I'm unwell and need to rest for a few days." "Yes, Madam Viola." Poppy was unsure whether her mistress truly wanted a divorce, or if she was just venting in frustration. She fell silent and didn't dare to press the matter further.

Barrett gathered his courage and asked, "Your Highness, might I ask if the people of Westhaven have dealt with Aurora?" Rafael was still irritated at how Barrett had stopped Carissa outside the royal study, and he couldn't muster any sympathy.
"How would I know? Ask someone else," he responded coldly.
"Your Highness!" Barrett quickly stepped forward, blocking his path. He bent low in a more urgent bow, pleading. "I know you're the first to hear news like this. I admit I've made countless mistakes, but please, for the sake of my cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, tellwhat you know.

You may leave." "But-" "But what? Just leave for now," Rafael cut him off, urging him to leave.
