Chapter 659: Arabella’s Sorrowful and Reminiscent Eyes
"Why would you be nervous?" Ferdinand inquired and Arabella had a bittersweet look on her face as if she had not been to Lobelius for years not months.
"Because it’s been a while since the last time I was there," Arabella said.
She glanced at her assistants who had just finished lunch and came to greet her when they saw her pass by, and added, "I’ll just give instructions to everyone. I’ll see you in a bit."
Arabella quickly went to speak with her assistants about their work for the afternoon. She tried to make it look natural but Ferdinand noticed that she intentionally avoided him. Likely, because of their topic. There was something she was hiding.
She must have heard from his thought that he noticed the sadness in her eyes.
Ferdinand sighed and silently watched her speak with her assistants. They were reporting something to her and Arabella’s attention was focused on them.
The sadness deep in her eyes was finally gone.
Ferdinand found the leeway to think as he pleased while Arabella was absorbed in something else. He had been trying to be careful about what to think about when he was with her due to her ability. But he kept forgetting about it quite a lot.
After all, Ferdinand also had thoughts he did not want her to hear since she might push him away.
