An: I have just decided to post this chapter as well today because it is so short I didn't want to post it by itself and it fits the previous chapter much better than the one that will be posted tomorrow.


Fourth Year Anniversary

"Well, that was a lovely surprise, wasn't it?"

"Hm"

"Violet, Robert and Cora have told us that they are having another child. Don't tell me you aren't happy about that."

"I'll be happy if it is a boy."

"You are insufferable. We've talked about this so many times. My cousin James has had a boy. Robert and Cora don't need a son. It would be nice if they had one but it isn't necessary anymore. And don't tell me that you are not over the moon because of Mary."

"I am not saying that."

"No. You love our granddaughter."

"Maybe. But I still don't like Cora."

"At least you don't hate her anymore."

"Don't be so sure."
