"Sweetheart?" Natha opened the carriage door after around ten minutes and climbed inside. "I've been looking for you--I'm sorry, I left you alone while talking to the others."
"Mm..."
Focusing my gaze on the baby in my arms, who finally drifted to sleep after I calmed down, I merely muttered. I had sent Jade to Vrida, calling the girl down from the hill, so the carriage was quiet. Usually, I would welcome it with joy; a blissful occasion of being alone with my sweet husband.
But at that time, it was only uncomfortable for me.
"Sweetheart?" naturally, Natha could see through the rotten mood I did not bother to mask. "What's wrong?"
"You don't know?"
Without meaning to, my voice came out cold and dry, almost like what Natha usually used when he faced other people. Other people that weren't in his inner circle.
