Chapter 1480

Once on board the plane, Romeo was still basking in bliss.

He sliced apples for Arabella, holding her close, feeding her piece by piece.

As she listened to him reminisce about his childhood, Arabella learned of the strict upbringing he

endured as the heir to his family's fortune - enduring hardships and witnessing the cutthroat nature of

high society.

Feuds were commonplace among the elite; siblings turned against each other, and marriages fell apart

- all in the name of competition.

From vying for attention as children to battling for wealth as adults, if direct confrontation failed, they

resorted to underhanded tactics.

And then, there was the endless one-upmanship - from comparing spouses and children to flaunting

designer clothes and extravagant parties.

Having seen it all, and surrounded by people who were either deferential or fawning, Romeo never

knew true intimacy until he met Arabella.

He looked down at the girl snuggled in his arms, his eyes softened as he continued to feed her, "You've

never really talked about your childhood."

Arabella dredged up her memories, "Do you remember when we first met, you took me out to La Belle

Vie, with its retractable roof for stargazing? That night, it reminded me of those days I spent as a kid."

Arabella uttered blandly, "When I was young, Attlee and Olga were always busy, and it was Grannie

Grace who spent countless nights with me. Those star-filled evenings are just like that night when we

had dinner. Attlee and Olga have never prepared any surprise for me. It wasn't until I returned to the

Collins family that I discovered how naturally and freely family can express their love. Attlee and Olga

didn’t even have time to be with me, let alone taking me outside to play. It was you who took me to the

biggest amusement park in Summerfield, allowing me to relive my childhood."

Romeo chuckled, reminiscing, "Back then, to get closer to you, I rode the carousel with you on the

same horse, and we took so many photos which I’ve kept in my phone. And during that haunted house

visit, there were those 'assassins' after me."

"Those goons were no match for you," Arabella had been baffled at the time, wondering where those

people got the nerve to take the job.

Romeo talked with her a lot about the past until she fell asleep in his arms, and he gently carried her to

her room, tucking her in.

The plane soon landed at Reflections Villa.

Serena hadn't quite made her mark when she saw Romeo's plane arrive, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

"My darling, you're finally back." Louisa hadn't seen her beloved daughter for days and embraced her

tightly, "How was your stay with your uncle and aunt? Settling in alright?"

"They were so kind to me, and my grandparents adored me." Arabella replied obediently, "The meals

were always to my liking."

Louisa's affection for her grew with her docile demeanor, "Your aunt has been singing your praises! We

wouldn't have known that you are the one who founded the Ar-Bl-Clear Group if it wasn't for her. You're

juggling so much; these years must have been exhausting."

"Romeo's here too." Kenneth smiled, patting Romeo's shoulder, "Thanks for bringing Bella home. I

heard from Bard that you went out of your way to Dawnstar for Bella. Good lad, it eases my mind

knowing she's under your care."

"It's no trouble at all. I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring Bella back," Romeo replied politely.

"You must stay for dinner tonight." Kenneth insisted warmly, "Bella was new to Dawnstar, a stranger in

town, but luckily you were there. Anyway, let's not chat out here in the cold, let's go inside."
