Finding Canillas making his way back toward her bed, Joanna, who had pushed her body up to sit on the bed, looked up at him, who was now standing near her bed.
"It is already late. Go back to sleep," Canillas suggested, staring down at Joanna.
"Talk with me a little bit. What happened? Are you fine?" Joanna prompted Canillas to talk to her, considering a possibility for him to leave again tomorrow morning before she was awake.
"Marvin came to visit me. I urged him to tell me more about you being mad during the meeting with His Majesty," Joanna said, trying to lure the silent Canillas to talk to her while implicitly sharing information about the agenda of Marvin coming to see her, as she believed that Canillas knew that she was with Marvin in the back garden.
If he did not know that, then just regarded what she informed as her effort to be open to him in their marital relationship.
