NovelApp"We had spotted you the moment we stepped into the diner," Arabella's words sent Sean and Steward into a state of shock. Had
their cover been blown so soon?
It must have been the diner manager's poor attempt at discretion that led to their early discovery.
"My arm's been injured, you see, so I've got to avoid anything too raw, spicy, or with a hint of alcohol. I'm not a fan of that sort of
thing. Dishes like pork are just too greasy for my taste," Arabella explained, making a point to add, "Romeo ordered according to
my usual preferences. | even thought it was too much food for two people to finish."
"Knowing Bella's tastes, | made sure to order her favorites. The diner's menu was half filled with raw and spicy options, so that's
why | didn't order much," Romeo chimed in.
Mostly because his fiancée wouldn't allow it!
Hearing this, Sean turned sheepish. So, he was the one who didn't understand his sister's preferences, not knowing what she liked
or couldn't eat. He had thought that by simply instructing the diner manager to serve the best dishes, he was doing what was best

It turned out, the joke was on him.
It was at this point that Steward realized why Mr. McMillian hadn't shown Ms. Bella the menu when ordering. He already knew what
Ms. Bella liked and would've just verbally checked with her on each dish, seeing if she approved before finalizing the order.
It wasn't that he was being presumptuous or disrespectful to Ms. Bella.
With this revelation, a wave of embarrassment washed over Steward as well.
"But your relationship is all happened so fast." Sean was implying that they were getting cozy, holding hands, and nearly kissing,
all before making their relationship official.
Arabella glanced at Romeo and they shared a knowing smile, as if they had reached an unspoken agreement. She then said,
"Actually, Romeo and | began seeing each other not long after | got home."
Sean's jaw dropped at this news.
Steward was equally incredulous.
"To be precise, | was the one who kept pestering Bella until she finally gave in and agreed to give us a chance," Romeo confessed.
"lI wanted to clear the air with you when you cto seeat McMillian Corporation, but you kept interrupting me, not letting me
speak."
Sean remembered how, back in the McMillian Corporation's meeting room, he was so eager for answers, wanting to know if Romeo
would pursue his sister and treat her right, that he had completely ignored Romeo's attempts to explain.
If he had just listened a few seconds longer, so many misunderstandings could have been avoided.
"Romeo toldabout this, and | decided to give you a surprise," Arabella added.
Now, with the charming couple standing before him, hands intertwined, Sean realized he had made a huge blunder.

No wonder this guy had been so casual, calling him Sean and referring to his precious sister as Bella - they were already on
intimate terms.
No wonder Romeo didn't mind sharing a drink with his sister. It wasn't about being cheap; it was because their relationship had
grown so close that sharing everything had becsecond nature to them.
His sister truly didn't mind drinking after Romeo.
His heart suddenly felt a tinge of sourness, a hint of loss.
He hadn't expected his sister to be swept off her feet so quickly.
As for the unfinished building's surveillance, when his sister confronted Martha, Sean only knew about Serena's repeated attempts
to seduce Romeo. He was unaware of his sister and Romeo's secret relationship of half a year.
In those videos, his sister never once mentioned that Romeo was her boyfriend, nor did Martha. Instead, Martha bizarrely blamed
his sister for returning to their family and for competing with Serena over Romeo.
So, he had no idea that his sister had started dating Romeo as soon as she returned home, and that their connection was
incredibly strong.
