    Celine watched as David went out, she winced when he banged the door, feeling confused and nervous to see him so angry.“Does that mean he was defending Arabella, because he loves her?” why would just a little argument get him annoyed to that extent?”She stood up from the bed and went to wash her face in the bathroom.Leaving a grudge to the next day can destroy a marriage; she wouldn't want that to happen, would she?She would go after David soon and apologize to him so they could settle their differences.Using a towel to clean her face, she dashed it also with a little powder and went out to look for David,She checked the guest room but couldn't see him, so she went downstairs and looked around for a while.Just when she wanted to give up and go upstairs to sleep, she heard voices in the courtyard.Curious, she went close to the door
