"Arabella? Is something wrong?" Ferdinand noticed.
[She's clenching her hands. And her lips are drawn into a thin line. Did she think I would not allow her to join the morning courts? Is that why she looks annoyed?]
"Eh, no. Nothing's wrong I just suddenly recalled something that annoyed me," Arabella smiled.
She noted that she had to be careful of unmarried ladies who would approach her husband once she attended events with him.
"Then, why are you suddenly looking at me like that? You don't like me gazing at you?" Ferdinand pretended to be hurt.
[It's like she was planning a lot of things in her mind. Or was she displeased with my behavior since we were in the dining hall? Or was she truly annoyed about something? If she was, what would it be about? Even her smile just now was faked.]
Ferdinand was too observant so he noticed everything.
"I was just wondering if you would allow me to attend court sessions," Arabella reasoned.
