Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel 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 I 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. I dismounted to greet her, and she spoke to me courteously."

Zoey thought for a moment but shook her head. "Meeting privately is 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 invited me to her home before."

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.
