The bet Roman never knew about

"Violet, welcome!" 

Aries welcomed Violet with a bright smile as soon as Roman assisted Violet down the carriage. The latter smiled back just as brightly, before helping her sons get down. When Violet straightened her back, Aries had already jogged her way down the stairs.

"Greetings, my lady." Violet curtsied. Beside her were her two sons bowing to pay respect to Aries, who stood in front of them. 

"Greetings to you, my lady." Roman also bowed with his arms across his abdomen, standing behind Violet.

"Please raise your head. No need to be so formal." Aries chuckled happily, pleased to see them in the estate safe and sound. As they raised their heads, she finally noticed Roman. The latter lowered his eyes, seeing Aries narrow her eyes while looking at him. However, Aries said nothing about it as she shifted her attention to the people who approached behind them.
