Chapter 688: A Glimpse of the Past

"Even so. Eloisa’s right. Even for a prank, that was bad," Arabella agreed with Eloisa.
Thankfully, Benjamin did the prank right here where he knew it was off-limits to others and only their trusted personnel were allowed entry.
"Ella, how could you do this to me when you were the one who was the least worried about me? You were worried for just about two seconds. Then, you’re back to hovering over your husband," Benjamin acted like he was hurt and offended.
"It wasn’t like that! I was trying to understand what happened," Arabella quickly defended herself.
"Uh-huh?" Benjamin just said, pointing out her defensive attitude with the way he looked at her.
"I..." Arabella wanted to say more. But then, she realized that she must not have looked worried enough because she was looking back and forth between them earlier.
It made it look like she was choosing who to side with and her actions made it seem like she was siding with Ferdinand. Especially since she did not scold her husband but was chiding her older brother.
Meanwhile, Ferdinand wanted to contradict Benjamin but did not want to do so in front of their younger siblings. He did not want them to think he did not have an ounce of respect for Benjamin who was older than Arabella and the about to be crowned.
