Rosalind threw herself into her grandmother's embrace, resting there for a while before finally lifting her head. Her eyes were red, but they sparkled brightly, as if everything she said came straight from her heart.
Carissa and Violet exchanged glances, both sensing something a bit strange.
But they were there to encourage Rosalind to let go of Thomas, so they decided not to say anything further regarding the matter.
After leaving Trevor's residence, the two women returned home and sent someone to inform Thomas of the outcome. Originally, Carissa intended to only relay the news. But after thinking it over, she asked Violet to go see him in person and share everything Rosalind had said.
Though she might be a bit slow when it came to matters of the heart, Carissa could still see the discomfort Rosalind felt after making her rapid decision.
Her feelings for Thomas didn't seem to stem from a fleeting infatuation. They must have had some connection in the past, right?
Yet, that didn't seem possible. They were nearly a decade apart in age, and Thomas had joined the military at a young age—he was probably only fifteen when he began serving under General Xavier in the military encampments outside the capital. While he could return home occasionally, there shouldn't have been any interaction between him and Rosalind.
After hearing Violet's words, Thomas simply nodded. "Alright. Thank you for your efforts, Your Grace, Violet. I also appreciate Mr. York for coming up with such a reasonable excuse."
Violet paused for a moment and said, "Thomas, Rosalind is a good girl. She's a really, very good girl. She wishes you peace and happiness."
Thomas knew Violet was discerning when it came to people, and her endorsement of Rosalind meant the girl was indeed exceptional. However, he also understood that someone as admirable as Rosalind, especially at such a young age, deserved a gentle and refined suitor.
With a smile, Thomas replied, "I wish her peace and happiness as well, and hope she finds her ideal match soon."
