NovelEnglishChapter 142
The group of students scattered like birds and beasts, and the alley returned to silence.
Felicia, who was around the corner, rubbed her ears. She had heard everything that happened and was
somewhat surprised that Arnold would help her.
However, she still didn't think that he was up to any good.
Felicia pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Inside the small house, steaming dishes were already laid out on the table. Macey was pouring tea and, hearing
footsteps, looked over her shoulder to ask, "Where's the guest? Why isn't he here?"
"Oh, he said he had something to attend to and wouldn't be coming," Felicia replied without changing her
expression.
Although Macey was slightly disappointed, she didn't doubt Felicia's words and could only say, "Alright, let's eat
by ourselves!"

"Yes!"
Just as Felicia picked up her cutlery and was about to eat, she suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep in. It was
followed by the casual entrance of a tall figure. It was Arnold.
Macey's face lit up with joy as she warmly welcomed, "Oh, the guest is here! Come, take a seat!"
Felicia was so shocked that her cutlery nearly fell from her hands.
What the hell? Didn't he leave? Why was he back?
Damn it, how shameless could he be?
Arnold sat down smoothly at Macey's invitation. When he caught sight of Felicia's stunned expression, he
couldn't help but smile slightly.
Usually, it was him getting angry with Felicia, even getting beaten up by her. This was the first the had the
chance to see her looking so flustered. He enjoyed watching her like this.
With Macey around, even if Felicia was fuming, she couldn't just throw him out. She could only glare at him with
resentment and eat quietly.
Macey looked between the two before finally asking the question she had been wanting to know since earlier,
"Young man, what's your relationship with my Licia?" Arnold smiled slightly, appearing both polite and humble.
"Hello, Nana. My nis Arnold, and I'm Licia's... fiancé."
To be fair, when Arnold chose to be decent, he really looked the part. He fit the kind of person that elders would
like, especially when he was being so courteous. Felicia was almost infuriated to death! "You're talking
nonsense!"
She had never been this angry before. She felt the hair on her body stand on end as she was utterly disgusted.
Arnold raised an eyebrow. Surprisingly, he didn't get angry and continued to smile gently. But only Felicia could
see the slight mischief in that smile.
Macey clapped her hands in delight.
"Oh, good! Arnold, right? I'll leave Licia in your care. This child has had a tough life and gone through a lot of
suffering. At my age, | don't really worry about anything else-just that she has no one to take care of her or love
her..."

Macey's thoughts were simple. She could sense Arnold's noble temperament at first glance and assumed he
cfrom a distinguished background.
She feared for Felicia, believing that
even after being brought back to her
biological parents, things hadn't turned out well for her. Now that
Felicia had a fiancé, she would have someone to protect her.
Felicia felt a headache coming on. "Nana, don't believe this guy's nonsense. | don't have a fiancé, and even if |
did, it wouldn't be him!"
This wasn't the first tFelicia had expressed her animosity toward him. In the past, Arnold only thought Felicia
was trying to provoke him intentionally, seeking his attention in this manner.
However, she was still acting the sway.
Arnold leisurely picked up his cutlery but suddenly put them down again after glancing at the dishes.
Felicia was aware that Arnold was being picky about the food's cleanliness.
