"Or rather, should I call Selina?"
Arthur cast a playful smile toward Carina, his gaze fixed on her face as he observed the subtle changes.
"What do you mean?!" Carina exclaimed, rising from her seat, her expression a mix of disbelief and fear as she locked eyes with Arthur.
Nevertheless, Arthur offered no response.
Instead, he posed an unusual question, "Why?"
"Is there an issue with my statement, Lady Carina?" He shook his head lightly and took a sip of his tea.
Realizing her mistake, Carina swiftly regained her composure and settled back into her chair.
Taking a deep breath, she turned her gaze back to Arthur.
"Can you please explain how you are aware of this?" Carina asked Arthur once more, her face reflecting equal parts anxiety and curiosity.
The revelation shook her to the core, as this was a deeply buried secret that remained concealed within her, unknown even to David!
