After a hot shower, Starla finally felt human again.
The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, a maid approached with a tray of fresh fruit and a glass of milk. "Miss."
"Put it down and get out," Starla ordered.
The maid paused, taken aback by her sharp tone, but quickly set the tray down. Bowing her head, she murmured, "Mr. Hoggart wishes to see you."
"Tell him no."
The maid was speechless. Starla was absolutely ruthless now.
Before coming back, her father had promised to prepare a separate guest house on the estate just for her. The Hoggart Castle was massive. As long as she didn't want to cross paths with Yardley, she could easily go a whole year without seeing him.
Honestly, she hadn't planned on staying here at all. But Elmer's arrangements, coupled with the raw pain and regret in his eyes when he looked at her, made it impossible to refuse. Her father's grief had anchored her, at least for now.
As for Yardley, Elmer had made it clear: she could see her brother if she wanted to, and ignore him if she didn't. And right now, she was more than happy to pretend she didn't even have a brother.
...
On the other side of the castle, Yardley's expression darkened the moment he heard Starla had refused him.
*She won't see me?*
The nerve of that girl! What was she trying to prove? Was she really going to cut ties with him completely?
Garret stepped into the study, his face grim. "Sir, Jane Merlin is here to see you."

"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finallyπ...
