Evangeline met the eyes of Harold. She was not able to attend because she was injured by him. He had raped her last night and did not leave maids to help her get dressed. He made sure that Daisy was not there. Sophie was sent to market. When her physician arrived, she was lying there wrapped in a blanket because she was not able to walk.
"Lord Crawford." his voice rose a bit when He noticed something was amiss. But Evan had already nodded her head.
"Yes, I was sick." The man smiled at her, ignoring her husband.
"And the day after, did you attend it?" Elene frowned and looked at Harold but he did not look back at her. As if her existence matters nothing to him.
"Yes, but only for a short amount of time." she replied in a low voice. A tinge of regret filled her face again when the man comforted her with an understanding look.
