Ruth Frazer didn't stay at Gavin Graves' house for too long.
After sitting for a while, she left with Gerald Graves.
She always carried herself with restraint, projecting an image of being aloof yet not arrogant, never making anyone feel she was overly enthusiastic.
Not everyone possesses this self-control, especially when... even though she was eager to know how Gavin had recovered, she could only endure and subtly probe, making her seem even more poised.
Gavin was already convinced in his heart that Ruth Frazer's husband, Moissanite, must have met some misfortune.
As for why she would choose to conceal her husband's death, Gavin was temporarily unable to speculate.
Moissanite's parents had long passed away, and he had no children; if he were dead, all the inheritance would become Ruth Frazer's.
The most precious of all would be Moissanite's paintings, which would rapidly appreciate in value.
