Arabella honestly felt bad for her husband. The past few days, every time he walked Arabella to her room, Ferdinand reluctantly left after kissing her goodnight.
But it was Raymond who completely prohibited Ferdinand from entering her room. It made things difficult for Ferdinand since he liked sleeping beside her.
Staying by her side at night and being able to hug her while she was sleeping apparently comforted him. So now that he couldn't, even though he was in the palace, it was making him miss her more.
Ferdinand cupped her face and gazed at her. The longing in his eyes was so strong. Just looking at his eyes made her want to hug him and give him some kisses to make him feel a bit better.
Arabella was wide-eyed when he caressed her lips with his thumb. He leaned in to kiss her.
Conscious of the other people with them, she turned away and glanced at Rendell and her maids.
They bowed and turned in another direction understanding she wanted some privacy.
