Chapter 384 Who's Pulling the Strings?

• Rosine couldn't shake the feeling that Gawen looked down on her mother for remarrying and resented her for being raised by another man. The thought left her stewing with resentment.
• She believed Gawen had never truly accepted them. Instead, he kept them around to maintain appearances or out of some twisted need to settle the score for being abandoned all those years ago.
• Rosine thought bitterly, As a commander-in-chief, Gawen could have his pick of women. Young, beautiful, and eager to please. Why would he care about Mom? She's just a middle-aged widow who showed up after her husband died.
