She wasn't scolded. It brought her some relief.

Ludovicus suddenly appeared from the den, calling for Chaudry. The sound made her heart ache. Lowering her head, she gave him a gentle nudge. Go back inside, Ludo.. your brother will get cold. She would try to explain to things to him after, Ignace too. This was not a conversation she particularly wanted them to witness without the necessary sugar coating. Somewhat hesitant, the boy went back inside the den.

Listening to Treepie, it was clear that Viskani must have gotten herself involved in some way. She was the only reason Chaudry would have changed his mind. Chaudry doesn't regret anything. I've spent enough time with him to know that. She said, shaking her head. His mother must have scolded him. He doesn't see me as a viable partner, I was just the available surrogate.

She understood Treepie's concern, it was noble, but despite his flaws Chaudry was a good father to the little girl. Julienne. She corrected. He wanted her to be named Julienne. The was a strange sadness in her eyes as she said this. He loves her, he'll treat her well.
