It's not because I've returned, right?" Viola stepped forward suddenly, and wrapped her arms around him. Thomas was startled at her actions. He pushed her away, and stumbled back several steps.
Seeing his reaction, Viola froze for a moment. Then, tears streamed down her face, her heart breaking. "Do I disgust you? It seems that I do." Thomas looked at her, his emotions simmering just beneath the surface. "I'll look into what's happening at Valor Estate." "I don't need you to investigate!" Viola's voice rose, teetering on the edge of desperation. "What are you going to investigate? Don't you trust me? All I ask is this: if I get a divorce, will you still want me? Do you despiseor not? Just answer that question." Faced with her aggressive questioning, Thomas took a deep breath. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't find the words. His heart was a tumult of confusion, and he didn't want to make any promises until things were clearer.
However, he couldn't shake the guilt he carried toward her. After a long silence, he finally murmured, "I don't despise you. I don't have the right to." Viola's tear-filled eyes brightened. "With that, I can rest easy. Wait for me, Thomas." With that, she turned and walked away.

If it ever cto that point and she cback to him, he wouldn't have any reason to refuse her. It was also a responsibility Thomas felt he needed to take.
Viola made her way down the mountain with Poppy, her steps light and her heart soaring. She hadn't been wrong-Thomas still cared for her.

"Madam Zoey, what should we do now?" Jane asked anxiously. "If she truly divorces Mr. Warren, what will happen to the Earl of Silverstone's family's reputation? It could ruin the marriage prospects for the other ladies in the family!" Zoey thought for a moment before responding. "The Warren family is a pit. If Viola wants to leave, I won't stop her. If she returns to us, I will welcher. But if she wants to return to Thomas, I can't agree to that." Jane whispered, "But Mr. Thomas seems to be in agreement, Madam Zoey.
