If she did, Ferdinand may also misunderstand.
She would not let him think she cried just because he did not sleep with her once.
After all, it was not the reason she cried.
It was just because she happened to recall things while Aletha was comforting her.
[Then why are both her eyes red? This is clearly from crying.]
Ferdinand cupped her cheek as he looked closely.
Before Ferdinand could question her maids, Arabella gestured for them to leave.
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave already?"
Arabella redirected the topic and glanced at Ferdinand's attire.
He had changed into a new robe and smelled like he had just gotten out of the bath.
His hair was not tied, but it was dry, probably with the hair-drying magic tools.
'Did he just go to the bath?'
Arabella had to wonder if she had mistaken his absence in her room as him already going to work.
'No. I certainly felt his presence far away, so I knew he had left. Did he return while I was having tea with everyone?'
