A cold shiver ran down my spine after Althea said that.
However, when I parted my lips to speak, a deep voice reverberated through the garden.
"Too late for what?"
I swerved my head and couldn't help but smile warmly when I saw Kaelos walking toward us from the garden's entrance.
His shoulder-length black hair was a little damp, and the shampoo wafting from him told me he had just finished bathing.
He also wore a long red coat with golden buttons and black pants, causing my face to heat up with a blush.
I almost forgot about the serious conversation with Althea.

"Do you find my question amusing, dear wife?" Kaelos asked with genuine curiosity, but there was also a hint of playful sarcasm which I would be damned to ignore.
I fluttered my eyelids at him when he finally got to the table, placing his right hand on my shoulder and then slowly walking to my back.
