Has Arabella already won Shirley's approval? But she heard Shirley's condition hasn’t gotten any better; could it be Phillip’s idea? Who would have thought that Arabella just got back to this family, not only loved by her parents but also favored by Phillip and Romeo? Look at Serena; the jealousy in her eyes was about to spill out. Such a restless child.

“Romeo’s here?” Kenneth stood up cheerfully, signaling a seat beside him: “Csit over here.” “Sorry, | got a bit held up. I'm late.” Romeo said, then looked at Lucas and Beverly. He spoke with gentlemanly politeness, “I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting; I'll punish myself with three glasses.” He picked up a glass of red wine from the table, poured it and drank it three times in a row.

Even though Kenneth and Louisa both said it wasn’t necessary, and even Lucas and Beverly tried to dissuade him, Romeo still finished all three glasses. His behavior was cold and noble, and his overwhelmingly strong aura coupled with a masculine charm was mesmerizing.

“What a polite kid!" “He can really handle his wine-three glasses—and he’s not even blushing or out of breath. Romeo, sit down. You must be hungry.” “Don’t wait for David; let's start serving the food!” “Brother—in—law, good evening.” Serena greeted with clear ulterior motives. Dressed to impress, her goal was to catch Romeo's eye. Alma also called out to Romeo, but he only nodded slightly; his gaze quickly moved to Arabella, not lingering on them for long.

A flash of disappointment crossed Serena's eyes.

“Romeo, | heard you've been really busy lately. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health. Even though you're young now, being career—driven is good, but it's not worth it if you end up like me, aching all over when you're old! You need to rest more; health comes first!” Lucas said with a chuckle.

With a ladylike smile, Beverly said, “Romeo doesn’t need your reminders! He has a wife to take care of him.” “Hahaha, that's true.” Beverly gently looked at Romeo, then at Arabella, saying, “Romeo is handsand hardworking; Bella is capable and stunningly beautiful. They're a perfect match!” “Indeed.” Lucas laughed, “Romeo, my brother went through a lot to find his daughter; you better cherish her! Or we, the elders, won't agree!” “Don’t worry, | will cherish this fate and treat Bella well.” As Romeo said this, he gave Arabella a doting look.

Seeing the atmosphere heating up, Lucas changed the topic with a smile: “I heard you recently acquired several companies and bought the areas of Hollyfalls and Windhelm. Are you planning to build a residential district in Hollyfalls and a high-end department store in Windhelm?” Before Lucas could finish, Kenneth interrupted with a laugh, saying, “Hey, let's not talk about work today. You rarely come, and you've already had three glasses of wine. | should toast to you. You've been looking after Bella and busy with work; you've worked hard.” He poured a glass of wine, and Romeo did the sfor himself. He raised his glass and poured a bit out, saying, “You're too kind; I'm honored to take care of Bella.” “Haha, you're quite the smooth talker.” Just as Kenneth was about to drink, Louisa and Arabella simultaneously reminded him, “Don’t drink too much.” At this, Kenneth and Romeo both paused, then put their glasses down.

“We're about to eat; let's not drink just yet!” Kenneth laughed, clearly afraid of his wife.
