Chapter 1527

"I'm stuffed," Arabella admitted, having polished off a substantial meal.

"Could you makeone?" he asked.

He longed for a cake like that, one that was his and his alone.

"When your birthday comes, tellwhat style you want in advance."

Was that a yes??

"Really? | can choose the style?" Romeo's smile softened his entire demeanor, his gaze tender and unyielding as it remained fixed

on Arabella.

Whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Weren't there rumors about the Collins and the McMillian families having a marriage arrangement? Isn't Serena supposed to be

Romeo's fiancée? Yet here she is with Martin tonight, and Romeo's feeding Jamie Noelle cake. What's going on?"

"Could it be that they've had a spat and are trying to make each other jealous with this public display?"

"But Romeo seems genuinely into Jamie Noelle. Could all this be an act?"

"If Romeo really gets together with Jamie Noelle, I'll just die."

After all, Jamie Noelle was such a powerhouse, someone she could never surpass in a lifetime.

And let's not forget her looks—that icy charm of hers really made her stand out in a crowd.

"That girl's not only Jamie Noelle, she's also Queena. If she ends up being Romeo's girlfriend, her life's just too perfect."

"l can't accept this."

neither."

After finishing his cake, Romeo wrapped an arm around Arabella's slender waist. "Mr. Eugene's house is quite quaint."

"He loves to garden," Arabella shared. "That plum tree was planted by me. Never thought it'd grown so big."

Romeo felt a twinge of envy for Mr. Eugene, to have a young lady planting flowers for him.

Romeo tenderly tucked a stray hair behind her ear, softly saying, "You're like the plum blossom, never vying for attention, yet your

beauty is unmistakable."

Just then, Mabel's grandmother approached Romeo with a warm smile. Considering her authority as an elder she expected some

deference from the young man.

"Romeo, dear, remember me? My late husband used to play chess with your grandfather." Amanda asked with a twinkle in her eye.

"Are you and Jamie Noelle dating?"

Romeo's gaze shifted back to Arabella. She was Jamie Noelle? That was a surprise.

At first it was Maestro Melody, now it was Jamie Noelle.

How many more secrets did she have?

Behind Amanda, the guests were all eyes on Romeo, waiting for a denial.

Since Arabella's identity had not been disclosed, Romeo didn’t mean to mention it beforehand. Instead, he pulled her close, looked

at her with affection, and announced, "She's the one I've chosen for life."

He didn't specify girlfriend or fiancée.

But the message was clear, leaving everyone in attendance utterly astonished.

She's the one Romeo has chosen?

Romeo loved her, loved her enough to admit it openly??
