NovelEnglishChapter 1404
Romeo was the very definition of a dashing enigma, carrying an air of aristocratic grace and a touch of aloofness that seemed
etched into his very being.
When his gaze fell upon strangers, it held an untamed wildness paired with a lofty indifference. Yet, when he looked upon the one
he cherished, his eyes softened into a tender caress.
This stark contrast had Serena utterly captivated. She relished Romeo's icy dominance, his powerful aura that seemed to tower
above the rest, his statuesque figure, and his impeccably handsfeatures.
Everything about Romeo was an object of her affection.
In comparison, Martin seemed so utterly ordinary.
In that moment, Serena found herself a touch envious of Arabella, who was the recipient of Romeo's fervent kisses, his intense
affection.

Before Romeo's lips could tire, Arabella's phone buzzed to life, his eyes lingering with a hint of desire yet to be sated.
It was her grandmother calling.
"Bella, your uncle is drivingup the wall. | can't talk sense into him!"
Belinda's voice cthrough the phone, laden with complaint, “You deal with him!"
Arabella tried to suppress a chuckle, but before she could offer a few soothing words, she heard Sampson's resigned voice, “Bella.”
"Uncle Sampson," Arabella replied with a light laugh, “Are you stirring up trouble with Grandma again?"
"She wants to visit your grandpa, but I'm swamped with work and can't spare the time."
Sampson's explanation was cut short by Belinda's irritated interjection, "When are you ever not busy? May can take me. | can't
wait for you forever."
The mention of her grandmother's impatience brought a smile to Arabella's face.
"I'd like to see Dad too. Letwrap up sthings here, and we'll go together."
"lI don't need you to cwith me! Bella said I'm well enough to travel on my own, didn't you, dear?" Belinda pulled her
granddaughter into the conversation, asserting, "She even said a long-haul flight wouldn't be an issue for me."
Sampson immediately saw through the ruse, "Bella would never say something so irresponsible. Can you just wait a few days for
me?"
As the mother-son duo continued their debate, Arabella intervened with a laugh, "I think Grandma's idea is sound. With May for
company and using the family jet to land directly at the estate's airstrip, it's quite safe."
"Still, | worry about her health."
"I've looked at Grandma's recovery stats recently. A trip won't hurt her."
"Did you hear that? Bella says it's fine!" Belinda’s voice was tinged with irrepressible joy, "May, start packing! Bella gave the green
light!"
Sampson, realizing her determination, resignedly said to Arabella, “This means you'll have to look after both of them."

He worried that if his parents caught even a minor cold, it would all fall on Arabella's shoulders.
Others might help with simple tasks, but none would take the burden of acupuncture or surgery.
"Don't worry, let Grandma come. A good mood is key to a faster recovery."
Assured by her words, Sampson replied with a laugh, “Alright, I'll listen to you.
And how's Bard? Has he been treating you well?"
Arabella smiled back, “Uncle Bard and Aunt Eunice have been wonderful. But when are you going to givea new aunt, dear
uncle?"
"You too, with the matchmaking.” Sampson chuckled, "You'd do better to pay attention to those closer to you."
"You mean Romeo?” Arabella looked up at the young man before her.
Romeo, ever doting and curious, leaned in closer, his handsface inches from hers, eager to catch the words floating from her
phone.
