Chapter 246: That time
"This hairstyle truly does suit you, Miss!!" Ada had those puppy eyes about her. Full of stars as they followed each of Arabella’s motions, "Have I said that before?" she tilted her head to the side, her smile not faltering for a second.
"Yes, you definitely have said that before," Arabella could not contain the laughter after making sure to set the tablespoon between her fingers down.
The maid’s legs wouldn’t stop bouncing up and down from the tip of her toes down to the heel of her shoes while she sat, the childish grin not leaving her for a second.
"You’re shining bright this morning," Arabella beamed too, "What might the reason be? I am curious," she poured a glass of water and gobbled it down.
"I don’t know... Just the sight of you healthy and smiling makes me happy, I suppose," her irises stuck to the glass in Arabella’s hand.
The young woman’s expression dimmed a tad, "Oh, I don’t know what I would have become without you here," she spoke with care before pouring yet another glass and downing it in the matter of seconds again.
At that action, Ada’s brows furrowed slightly, "I am sure you’d have done just fine, but... Miss, you’ve been drinking quite the amount of water since you’ve sat down at that table. Are you really feeling alright?"
Arabella took no time to ponder the question and immediately sprung to answer, "Yes, of course! It’s just my throat drying up the moment I gulp down the last drop in my cup, but drinking water is good for one’s health, isn’t it?" she chirped.
"Yes... Yes, it sure is," Ada’s initial smile did not return, only the ghost of it lingered, "I don’t think I’ve seen you drink that much water in a single setting, that is all," she let out a nervous chuckle.
"Well...," the young woman pushed a sigh, "I guess I do feel a bit woozy, but I am not totally sure why," she shook her head.
