It wasn't until they finished their food that Aria suddenly noticed something and exclaimed, "Charlie hasn't eaten anything. Is it not to your liking? I'm so sorry. I was so engrossed in chatting with Arthur that I didn't notice..."
"It's not your fault." Arthur interrupted Aria's apology.
I ignored them and answered on my own, "I can't eat spicy food lately."
Arthur froze for a moment, then realized and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I forgot."
It had only been a few days since my miscarriage, and Arthur already said he had forgotten.
But when it came to Aria, he could recount events from over a decade ago in vivid detail.
I shook my head. "It's okay, it doesn't matter."
It really didn't matter anymore.
Arthur frowned. Perhaps due to Aria's presence, he ultimately didn't say anything.
"What are you two whispering about? You can't keep secrets from me!"
Aria raised her index finger and poked Arthur's chest playfully.
Arthur didn't dodge, allowing her to do as she pleased.
"It's nothing. Her health has always been poor." Arthur emphasized once again.
He was afraid I would slip up and let Aria know about my miscarriage.
