After working like a horse for six months, and experiencing how tough it was for her parents, Amabel just wants to be selfish and rest.
She wants to be taken care of, get spoiled by others and just live without being stressed about where to get the next paycheck.
With a reliable and generous sponsor like Valentine. Wouldn't she be too foolish to seek otherwise?
Moreover, by wanting to do much, and proving what was unnecessary at this stage, she might end up losing much.
Philippa was the best example.
Didn't she 'stood on her own', made something for herself and now getting gossiped about because her husband was busy taking mistresses?
If only she has balanced the two, perhaps, her marriage would be something that everyone still envy.
Besides, since Valentine was with her. If married, then doesn't that mean that he wasn't happy in his marriage?
