บท 163: Reeling the fish in

Joaquin and Aries decided to take a stroll in the garden after the meal. Walking side by side, Aries glanced to her right where her husband was walking, his hands interlaced behind him, keeping his silence. 

"You don't seem well, husband." She broke the silence between the two of them, watching Joaquin cast her a quick glance. "Are you alright?"

"Of course." He sported a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Why wouldn't I? How about you? Did you enjoy the food?" 

This time, Aries closed her lips and raised her chin, eyes ahead, feeling the soothing night breeze hitting her face. She kept quiet for several seconds, feeling his gaze on her side as their steps slowed down.
