Chapter 1479
“Does your fiancée know about your temper?” The voice on the other end of the phone struggled to
suppress a chuckle.
“Ha, she loves everything about me.”
“Even your affairs?”
“Man, you're really asking for a smack.”
“Hahaha.” The guy on the phone burst into laughter, “I was totally strong-armed into calling, man. Is
she there? I need to clear the air with her.”
“Just beat it, will ya? Don’t bother my fiancée.”
“Just let me say a few words to her, I promise.”
“Your voice is too gruff; I don’t want to scare her.”
“Gruff? Me? Are you kidding? Maybe you’re losing your hearing. Forget it, just hand her the phone, bro.
I need to explain.”
“Beat it.” Romeo hung up directly.
Arabella couldn't help but laugh, “Your friend’s quite the character.”
“He’s just a pain in the neck when he’s not looking for a beating. Otherwise, he’s a decent guy.”
Smiling, Arabella asked, “So, what’s next on the agenda?”
“There’s a McMllian Corporation airstrip nearby.” Romeo glanced at her, “That girl is a friend’s sister.
Their family went generations with only sons until this little princess popped out. So, she’s pretty
spoiled. My buddy indulges her, and sometimes even drags her along to gatherings so she won’t feel
left out.”
Arabella nodded in understanding, “So, the guy on the phone, he’s her brother?”
“Nope. Her brother knows I don’t have feeling towards her, so he never helps her with this. She ropes
in his friends to do it for her, and she’s tried every trick in the book with them. When their family was
caught up in some inheritance drama, they were worried she might be in danger. They made up a story
about her going missing, but in reality, they stashed her at our place. My parents were abroad and
swamped with work, so they couldn’t look after her. It was just me and her at home.”
Arabella nodded, “Ah, that explains her crush on you.”
In times of turmoil, it was not strange for someone to fall for the person who offered them a sense of
security, especially someone with Romeo’s good looks.
With that thought, Arabella’s gaze shifted to the man beside her. Even his profile was flawless,
especially those bright, piercing eyes.
“She didn’t stay long. Once her family sorted out their issues, they whisked her away. That was years
ago.”
Romeo couldn’t remember exactly how many years. He’d never really cared.
Natalie, however, had developed a soft spot for him after staying with him.
“Did she ever confess her feelings to you?” Arabella inquired.
“She did, but I made it clear I wasn’t interested. I only saw her as a sister.”
Honestly, not even a sister. Still, Natalie kept bombarding him with messages. Out of respect for his
friend, he’d never blocked her, but he rarely replied.
Unless it was something about his friend getting hurt or a birthday- that kind of stuff would get his
attention.
“Bella, you’re the first person I’ve ever truly loved.” Romeo said, looking at her earnestly, “I’ve never
thought about spending my life with anyone but you. You’re the first and the last.”
From the moment he saw her, he couldn’t look away.
He couldn’t believe how much he could like someone, to the point of no return.
“You’re my first, too.”
Arabella's simple words caught Romeo off guard, and then he realized she was responding to him.
He was her first love. His lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. All the worry and
unease vanished, replaced by pure sweetness.
