Evangeline stared outside of the window from her carriage, still conflicted about what happened last night. When Harold had left, Damien had invited her for dinner. She asked a few times, but he only told her that she did not need to worry about her husband.
Damien was so nonchalant that she thought he did not care but the cold eyes of Gerald and the stiffness of the servants around her assured her that the case was not as simple as he had portrayed it.
"I need to leave for the town, I have some leftover business there." She was worried that he would reject her or send his men to keep an eye on her. She was an asset that held much value. But when he just nodded and resumed the dinner, she was shocked.
Till the morning, she was worried that she would somehow be stopped from leaving but she was informed that the carriage was ready and there was no knight waiting for her at her doors.
