It wasn't that he was hoping she would receive the news with smiling cheeks and a happy face— but he kind of thought she would be glad about it given how she had always blamed him for not doing too much to find his sister. Well, good news, thought Rochester. After hiding away for five solid years, she was finally going to show up there on her own accord.
