Chapter 1381

They heard she was an orphan, all alone in the world, and given the Collins’ family wealth, it wasn't like

they could just turn her out on the streets.

The Collins family was well-off. Taking in one more wasn't a burden.

So, it wasn't a surprise that they decided to keep her around.

“You know, as her aunt and uncle, we can only offer advice. In the end, it's up to her guardians to make

the decision, Eunice remarked, glancing toward the garden.

Snowflakes began to fall, and Arabella was walking alone amidst them when Romeo, who was

standing by the front door, noticed her. He quickly handed his umbrella to the doorman to bring out to

her.

"Is that Romeo?" A knowing smile played on Eunice's lips. "Seerns he's quite taken with our Bella."

The doorman brought the umbrella to Arabella, and just as she stepped out, Romeo draped his coat

over her shoulders, took the umbrella from her hand, and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"I've finally got you in my arms, Romeo couldn't help but say as he looked down at her.

His fiancée, it seerned, was probably the busiest woman in the world, and catching sight of her had

become a rare treat.

Arabella chuckled, “Well, here I am, seeking you out as soon as I got a moment."

Romeo gazed into her eyes with a smile, "I thought you might not come. You mentioned on the phone

that Grandpa had an accident. What happened? Is it serious?"

"You sure are getting the hang of calling him ‘Grandpa’? Arabella teased.

“Wife' rolls off the tongue even better. Want to hear it?"

"No thanks, Arabella shot back, "Grandpa's situation is a long story."

"Let's talk in the car then."

The car was warm, no way he was going to let his girl get cold.

Once Arabella was settled in the car, she explained the gist of it, leaving Romeo somewhat speechless,

“I remember when she used to make soup for grandpa, making his illness worse. In the end, it was you

who had to step in and save the day."

Arabella recalled the incident when Serena had eagerly bought leftovers from a medicine auction at an

insane price to make soup for Grandpa Phillip. The well-intentioned gesture had ended up landing

Phillip in the operating room.

"Time's passed, and she still hasn't learned’? Romeo said as he drove, “and once again, you're the one

cleaning up the mess."

"She always feels like I'm going to take everything from her, Arabella said with a sense of resignation.

“But isn't everything she has because of you? Your family is her family, her lifestyle is thanks to you.

What does she really have that's hers?"

“Well, Martin is hers."

"Martin only knows her because she's 'the Collins’ heiress’. If she were from an ordinary background,

how could she ever know Martin? So, in the end, it's still your doing."

Seeing how blatantly biased he was, Arabella couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite the defender."

"Because you're worth defending,’ Romeo said, freeing one hand to hold hers.
