NovelEnglishChapter 662 Chapter 662 Darin composed her complex emotions, and said, "Let's go." Now, she could only hope that the Farrell family would find her unsuitable. With Thomas' current status, he could marry anyone he wanted.
She was just someone with a fabricated identity.
As they entered the main hall, Darin covered her face with a fan and walked with delicate steps. Just learning to walk this way had taken her a lot of practice.

"And this is Major General Farrell," Gemma continued. "And this is Violet Spencer, Alice's goddaughter." When Violet had entered earlier, Alice had already introduced her.
Darin lowered her fan and revealed her face, but she couldn't summon a shy demeanor. Instead, she greeted them like normal. "Nice to meet you, Major General Farrell, Ms. Spencer." Violet looked at her and returned the greeting. "Nice to meet you too, Ms. Sanford." Thomas nodded politely. "Hello, Ms. Sanford." Violet noticed Darin's well-defined features. She had wide eyes and moderately full lips that formed a beautiful curve. There was a small red mole on her upper lip, adding a playful touch to her otherwise dignified appearance. Darin was very attractive, but she didn't have the refined air of a noblewoman. Instead, she seemed more free-spirited, like someone used to life on the road.
There was nothing crude about her demeanor, and her manners were impeccable. Yet the essence of a woman who had lived by her wits in the world was hard to hide, especially to someone like Violet, who had seen her fair share. In fact, Darin shared a certain spirit-carefully masked by decorum-that occasionally surfaced, much like Carissa. This resemblance made Violet take a closer look at her.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over Violet, although she couldn't pinpoint its source. Violet was certain she had never met Darin before, but the way Darin performed her greetings and settled into her seat felt oddly familiar. There was a sense of familiarity in the way Gemma and Henry moved. But since Gemma was Henry's mother, it wasn't surprising that they had similar expressions and gestures.
So, where did this feeling of familiarity with Darin cfrom? Alice looked pleased. Darin's outfit was tastefully done, neither overly extravagant nor too plain. With clear, delicate features, she exuded a sense of grace and maturity that cwith age.
Gemma noticed Alice's satisfied expression, and sighed softly. "This poor child has had a hard life. She was engaged so young, yet she faced much criticism after her fiance's untimely death. In a small place like Stonebridge County, the people are narrow-minded, and they blher for everything.
"When Lisette cto the capital to find a match, I didn't plan to aim so high. But when I heard Major General Farrell wasn't looking for a young woman and preferred someone older, I thought Lisette would be a good match. Now, it all depends on whether you and Major General Farrell mind that Lisette doesn't cfrom a prestigious family. As for her character, I can guarantee there's no problem about it." Alice was quite pleased with Lisette, but she didn't dare ask Thomas about his thoughts at that moment. Given his nature, he might flatly refuse. If that happened, the poor woman would have little hope of marriage after this! Gemma sensed Alice's thoughts. She turned to Darin, and said, "Lisette, you may return to your room now."
Darin stood and curtsied to Alice and everyone else before leaving. As she stepped outside, Violet continued to watch her.

Thomas had also noticed it. Darin clearly had martial arts training, though she hadn't revealed any signs of it earlier.
Thomas had been investigating quite a bit lately. Though Rafael had advised him against looking into the Warren family, that didn't mean he wouldn't investigate other matters. The Septimus Tetra reconnaissance team was mostly back in the capital, except for Scott and Wilfred, who had returned to their hometown.
They had grown accustomed to digging into things, and not doing so gnawed at them. With Yuvan back in the capital and the peculiarities happening after Leona had married into the Earl of Gracehold's family, something felt off. However, much of their investigation was pointless. They were overly sensitive and ended up checking everything randomly. It seemed that if the king didn't assign them tasks soon, they would be stuck in this limbo.
He was there to meet a marriage candidate today, yet his thoughts were entangled in all the inconsistencies around him, leaving him no mind for romance.
"Alice, Major General Farrell, let's be frank-what do you think of Lisette?" Gemma asked.
