"Are you not angry that I made you wait for a long time without noticing you?" Arabella inquired, feeling bad for not even noticing her husband had been here since who knows how long.
"I can't say, I did not feel bad when I thought you were ignoring me.
But you were not.
You simply did not notice me since you were so focused.
This is not the first time, so I'm already used to it," Ferdinand said.
"I'm so sorry, Ferdinand. I really did not do it intentionally," Arabella did not know how to explain it aside from this, since she really did not notice him at all.
How was it possible?
She did not know either.
It simply happened, and she only realized now that it happened.
"I know. I understand. You don't have to fret about it," Ferdinand assured her.
[This was exactly why I told Rendell and the others to especially guard her more keenly when she's busy with something. The more her attention is focused on something, the more she forgets about everything else entirely.]
