NovelAppChapter 1396
Half an hour had passed.
Romeos car was the first to pull up at the gate of the estate.
He got out and opened the door for Arabella, while Joyce clung to her with an unwilling embrace. "I have no idea when I'll see you
again"
Arabella patted his back soothingly, "If I'm not swamped, maybe I'll give you a call."
“Really?” Romeo rarely received calls from her. In the six months they'd known each other, the calls from Arabella could be
counted on one hand.
“If I find the time, I'll call. Once everything settles down, maybe we can head back htogether."
Arabella wasn't one to make such offers before, nor did she seem to care this much about his feelings.

Romeo felt a wave of comfort wash over him, his gaze soft as water, "Deal."
Just as Arabella was about to seal the agreement, Romeo's lips met hers again.
Martin, driving in the distance, caught sight of the couple kissing at the estate's entrance. He recognized the car. It was Romeo's!
Serena hadn't expected them to be at it again. Enough. Were they deliberately trying to provoke her?
That was the last straw for Martin. He stopped the car, angrily unbuckling his seatbelt, and stormed towards Romeo with rage in
his steps.
Romeo and Arabella were still locked in their kiss when a beam of headlights interrupted them. Romeo squinted at the glare,
spotting a man getting out of his car and heading straight for him.
Romeo instinctively pulled Arabella behind him just in tto dodge a punch thrown by Martin.
Without missing a beat, Romeo countered with a swift punch to Martin's face.
Martin stumbled to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Serena, thoroughly frightened, rushed over to help him up, exclaiming, "What are you doing!"
"Stay out of this.” Martin glared at Romeo, seemingly hell-bent on settling the score.
When Martin lunged at Romeo again, Arabella stepped forward and spoke calmly, "Let's talk this out. Brawling won't get you
anywhere."
The formidable Mr. Romeo wasn't about to be bested by someone like Martin.
Even a hundred Martins combined would stand no chance against Romeo in a fight.
“Martin!” Serena grabbed his hand, not wanting him to make a further spectacle of himself.
“What a thrilling scene at the doorstep. Lucky | didn't miss it."
A leisurely voice floated from the gate.
Eunice, in a striking red gown, exuded elegance and authority. Her presence didn't diminish even among the younger generation.
“Aunt Eunice?" Serena was taken aback. She hadn't expected her aunt to be a spectator.

This could be bad. If Eunice revealed Arabella's true identity, Martin would realize that Arabella was the real Collins family heiress,
and Serena was nothing but an adopted girl without any blood ties.
With that thought, Serena felt a pang of frustration. It was all because she had been too impatient earlier, only wanting to stop
Martin from embarrassing himself.
Completely forgetting about this crucial detail!
Upon seeing Eunice, Arabella called out dutifully, “Aunt Eunice."
Martin was surprised to hear this "Aunt Eunice.” What was the deal with Romeo's new flame? Why was she also calling Serena's
aunt "Aunt Eunice"?
But Eunice seemed to take it in stride, her eyes smiling, “Bringing a fight right to the doorstep, must be the fire of youth. Come
inside, all of you. Have a cup of coffee to cool down."
As soon as Eunice finished speaking, the grand doors opened in a welcoming gesture.
“Ma‘am:"
Romeo was about to explain, but Eunice cut him off, "From now on, we're all family. You and Bella can just callAunt Eunice."
