He wasn't expecting them in his wife.
He was nominally guarding her during a tense negotiation between rival clans of Gungans, but he kept feeling flickers of the Force as Padmé served as a neutral negotiator. He focused, and noticed the flickers were very strong when she was merely listening. They would fade back when she spoke.

"Ani, don't be absurd. I just listen with all my being."
Force, G-Rated, Anakin/Padmé, no warnings apply
