Chapter 1395
The figure dissolved into a mist and slowly dispersed into the air.
Arabella couldn't grab hold of anything and burst into heartbreaking sobs right there.
"Bella, Bella’ Romeo said softly, unable to bear the sight of her tear-streaked face. "Can you hear me?"
Opening her tear-filled eyes, Arabella realized she was still nestled in Romeo's arms, the boat gently gliding along Luminescent
Brook, with the Emerald Tower, the surrounding buildings, and other boats all still in place.
What was missing was Grannie Grace.
It had all been a dream!
"What did you dream about?" Romeo gently wiped the tears from her eyes, his voice filled with concern. "You kept saying ‘don't go,
don't leave’. Who was leaving?"

Arabella was still enveloped in profound sadness, burying her face into Romeo's chest to calm herself.
Guessing the cause of her distress, Romeo said, “Was it Grandpa Alberto, or Grannie Grace?"
Only those two could make her defenses crumble and reveal the vulnerable young girl within.
“It was Grannie."
"Did she cto see you?" he stroked her hair tenderly. “You must be worried about the surgery. She couldn't bear to see you so
troubled, so she cto comfort you."
A fresh tear shone in Arabella's eye.
"You've done everything you could. It's not your fault. This condition has baffled medical history. You've been amazing."
Arabella’s eyes reddened once more.
“Dont cry now. Don't make Grannie Grace worry, Romeo said as he tenderly wiped her tears away.
After a while, Arabella spoke, "Grannie cto praise you."
"To praise me?"
"She said you're a good man, that I'd be happy with you."
Romeo was taken aback, his eyes warming. "I promise to take care of you, to not let your grandma worry. I'll make you the
happiest person."
Arabella reached out and caressed his face.
It was the first tshe had touched him so intimately.
Romeo covered her hand with his own, letting her explore his features while his eyes brimmed with deep affection.
Tseemed to stand still until the boat neared the shore.
Serena stormed off the boat, and Martin quickly followed her. "Serena, lettake you somewhere else to eat."
Serena was too upset to think about food.

Martin had overheard people on the boat praising Romeo and envying Arabella.
After hearing too much of it, Serena hadn't eaten a bite and couldn't wait to leave.
As they were about to get into their car, a group of bodyguards escorted Romeo and Arabella towards them.
Their car was parked nearby, and Serena saw that Romeo was driving a limited edition sports car that had made headlines—a
single model costing over ten million dollars.
Then she glanced at Martin's ride, a mere luxury car worth a million or so. Compared to Romeo, it was barely in the sleague.
Romeo didn't notice anyone else in the parking lot. He opened the passenger door for Arabella, securing her seatbelt, and they
shared a private joke, their laughter mingling with a kiss.
Serena's heart ached. She couldn't fathom why Romeo was so enamored with Arabella, to such an extent!
After a prolonged kiss, Romeo finally released her and climbed into the driver's seat.
The multi-million dollar sports car sped off, followed by a convoy of bodyguards, leaving a cloud of exhaust in their wake.
With her mood at rock bottom, Serena got into her car with a scowl.
