Her Graceful War Song

Chapter 763

Upon hearing what had happened, Evelyn was so furious she nearly had a heart attack. She pointed an accusing finger at Viola and scolded, “This is utterly ridiculous! How is Barrett’s promotion not a good thing? Why do you have to say such depressing things and keep bringing up Lady Carissa? Does she appreciate being mentioned by you?

“Since when did I ever teach you to slap your husband In the face? And how dare you come back to your mother’s house crying! I thought you were just having a little spat, but it turns out you’re the one causing the trouble! He’s been injured so seriously, and instead of taking care of him properly, you slapped him over a few harsh words. You truly never learn, do you? You’re going to give me a heart attack!”

Viola lowered her head, still feeling wronged but too afraid to argue. She could only choke out, “Mom, Zoey, it’s not that I want to fight with him. I’ve gone through so much to carry his child, and yet he still thinks of Ca–his former wife. Who could stand that?”

Zoey remained silent. She didn’t want to engage in this kind of conversation. Her mother–in–law was somewhat reasonable, and from now on, Viola’s issues would be handled by Evelyn. Zoey was just there

to listen.

Evelyn was infuriated by her daughter’s words. “Tell me, does he always bring her up in front of you?”

Viola’s eyes widened in disbelief. “He wouldn’t dare!”

*Does he mention her in front of his family? What about in front of outsiders?”

Viola replied, “No one in Valor Estate would bring it up except Aurora. As for outsiders, would he dare to mention it? But even if he doesn’t say it, he must be thinking about it.”

“Evelyn was losing her patience.

“If he doesn’t bring it up, why do you keep mentioning it? Do you not want to live a good life? You should think not only of yourself but also of the baby in your belly. You’re not a child anymore! This isn’t your first time being a wife. Why does it feel like you don’t have a brain? Do you think he’s always thinking about her? How do you know what’s in his heart?!”

Evelyn’s furious words made Zoey and Luna exchange glances. They stifled their laughter with handkerchiefs as a smile crept onto their faces.

Viola sobbed, “Aurora said so, and he didn’t deny it.”

Evelyn frowned. “You believe her just like that? You trust all the wrong things while dismissing what your should believe? You really lack any common sense! Do you think Lady Carissa is someone your husband can covet now? I think Barrett is quite practical and genuinely wants to be with you. You need to stop this nonsense and go back.”

Viola protested, “Going back like this would be so humiliating! I’m not going back. I want to stay a few more days at least.”

“Absolutely not!” Evelyn glared at her. “You will return right now!”

“Mom!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Viola stood up and stomped her foot, but Evelyn quickly stopped her.

“Enough! What’s with your attitude? How old are you to be throwing a tantrum like a child? Your husband is injured and bedridden. You’ve slapped him and then got angry enough to run back to your mother’s house. You’re in the wrong here! If word gets out, people will say that our family raised our daughter poorly.”

Viola cradled her abdomen, tears streaming down her face. “I got so worked up today that my stomach hurts a bit. I’m afraid the stress has affected the pregnancy, and I can’t ride in a carriage anymore. If you don’t believe me, you can call for a physician to check on me.”

There was some truth to her words–her pregnancy was already unstable. After the argument and the commotion, her lower abdomen throbbed slightly with pain.

Evelyn was skeptical but ordered a physician to come. When the physician confirmed that the pregnancy was indeed unstable, Evelyn finally relented and allowed Viola to stay but also sent someone to Valor Estate to inform them. She didn’t conceal anything, stating directly that Viola’s impulsive nature had caused the issue.

Evelyn even sent some tonics to Barrett, apologizing and asking for his understanding, promising that she would discipline her daughter properly.

Rebecca wasn’t pleased with her daughter–in–law either, but since the Earl of Silverstone’s family was not to be offended, and considering Viola was pregnant, she managed to say a few polite words in response,

And so this farce passed. The Earl of Silverstone’s family took care of Viola’s health, and once she was. feeling better, she would be sent back to Valor Estate.

However, Carissa came to Silverstone Estate in person two days later.

When Zoey heard this, she thought Carissa had come with the Capital Guard, especially since she was aware of the incident at Edgeview Estate.

But as Zoey hurried to the main hall, she realized Carissa was accompanied by only Violet.
