Chapter 1430

Eunice was all praise for Romeo, her words glowing with pride.

Darren, itching with curiosity, chimed in, "It's just 8 o'clock sharp. Why don't we invite Romeo over for a bit, maybe offer him a

warm cup of tea?"

"Dad, do you want to meet him?"

Just after Eunice finished his words, Belinda exclaimed, "I'd like to meet him too."

"Letcheck with Bella and see if Romeo is free." Eunice texted Arabella.

Arabella quickly learned that Romeo was nearby and asked him to cover.

As Romeo pulled up to the estate, Martin's car arrived shortly after.

The two men exchanged a glance, both with a shadow crossing their eyes.

Eunice went out to greet Romeo and, spotting Martin, she expressed surprise, "Are you here for Serena?"

"| texted Serena, called her, but got no reply. | heard she had a little drink at the dinner table, so | got ssobering tea prepared

in case she couldn't handle it."

Noting the bottle in his hand, Eunice softened, "She did have a little wine.

Con in."

It warmed her heart to see someone so genuinely concerned for Serena.

"Thanks, Mrs. Griffith."

Martin hurried in, worried about Serena, but remained courteous.

"Romeo, con in,” Eunice said, her authoritative tone mixed with an elder's warmth and gentleness.

"Mrs. Griffith,” Romeo greeted her, his arms laden with various gift bags.

Martin glanced at the bags Romeo was carrying and felt a pang of neglect; he'd been so focused on Serena that he'd forgotten to

bring presents to the elders.

"From now on, no gifts when you chere,” Eunice said.

Martin looked at her gratefully, his eyes conveying his thanks. Next time, he had to prepare more gifts to show his respect.

"Just wait here for a moment. Darren wants to have a tea party in the garden.

I'll wheel him over and call Bella and Serena too"

"Thanks, Mrs. Griffith," Romeo and Martin said in unison.

Eunice hadn't been gone long when a servant chased after Serena, calling out, "Serena, Serena."

"Romeo, you cfor me.” Serena, completely out of her senses, lunged forward, wrapping her arms around a large tree, "| knew

you liked me.

Romeo, | like you too, so much."

Romeo, sitting beside her, was speechless.

So was Martin.

"Serena, you're hugging a tree, not Mr. McMillian” the servant pleaded, "Please let go, you're barely dressed. Lettake you back

to your room before you catch a cold"

"Get off me, you tramp! Romeo is mine, don't even think about seducing him."

Serena slapped the servant hard, leaving her on the brink of tears.

"Romeo, | knew it, you do like me. | always thought, what's so special about my sister? She's so boring, so dull, so cold, she never

cares about you, but | do.

Serena nestled into the tree's embrace. "I knew you'd choosein the end.

What's that? You liketoo? You can't stand my sister's dullness?"

Martin couldn't sit still any longer. He strode over, grabbed Serena's hand, and said, "You're drunk. I've brought you ssobering

tea.”
