"He thought I was pregnant because I ate a lot more than usual," Arabella said since the others could not hear them with Alwin's barrier anyway.
"I did not mean anything rude by that. I was just worried since Clarisse always eats more than usual when she's showing signs," Raymond quickly clarified.
"Yes, of course. I understand," Arabella smiled. "Now that you mention it, how is Clarrise doing these days?"
Arabella hadn't had the time to visit because of all the work she had to do.
A single day she would have spent going out when Ferdinand was not around meant more work would be sent to Raymond's office so Arabella worked instead. That way, Raymond was at least able to go home after work.
"Her pregnancy this time is more sensitive than the others. I told her to stay in Estrella instead since the ample mana there would help, but she did not want to be apart from the kids," Raymond looked worried.
