What would become of the girl who once hid in the shadows but now had the spotlight on her as the duke’s masked wife?

"I don't understand," Emma replied.
Hazel almost rolled her eyes because Emma did not understand what was clearly explained. "She's not going to ambush her husband with someone from the past who he does not get along with. You must not know Edgar Collins that well so I will tell you he's not going to be around someone he doesn't like for too long. He always looks for an escape. Has your fiance stated he wants to rekindle his friendship with the Duke?"
"No, but it looks that way. I am hoping it-"
"What will it do for you honestly?" Eleanor entered the conversation as she felt Emma needed a reality check. Forcing two men to become friends again wouldn't help her become closer to her fiance. "You know this can backfire right? Your fiance can get angry with you for trying to make him speak with the Duke. Instead of making the two men meet, ask the married women at the table how to get closer to your fiance."
