“You're worried aboutsplurging, Bella? I'm thrilled you're so thoughtful, but when it comes to getting something nice for you, |
just can’t help myself. Besides, this is nothing compared to that island getaway we talked about!”
Arabella couldn't help but giggle at Sean’s mention of the island.
“Sean's already paid for it, so just accept it,” Romeo chimed in, offering his support.
Seeing that Sean had taken care of the bill, Arabella stopped protesting and reached out to take the gift, saying, “Thanks, Sean.”
She knew this outfit had to cost as much as several island vacations.
“What are you thankingfor?” Sean ruffled her hair, surprised at how happy it made him to buy his sister something.
He made a mental note to spoil her more often, to share in her happiness.
“I'll carry that for you,” Romeo said, taking the gift box from Arabella’s hands.

The store manager and the staff were green with envy.
“Ms. Bella, you're so lucky. With a brother to foot the bill and Mr. McMillian to carry your things.”
“Your brother really dotes on you. We don’t have brothers like that.”
“l envy you, Ms. Bella. It's like you've hit the jackpot in life. With a brother and Mr. McMillian watching over you, life must be so
blissful and fulfilling.”
“If people saw this scene, they'd be so jealous.”
“We wish you all the best and hope you have a delightful life. We look forward to seeing you again,” the manager and the staff said
as they bowed and saw them to the door.
Sean was on cloud nine. He had never realized how much joy he could find in spending twith his sister, and he suddenly
understood why his brothers always flew hto spend twith her whenever they could.
Hanging out with Bella was a breeze compared to dealing with Serena.
Thinking of his other brothers, Sean whipped out his phone and started messaging them one by one, asking if they already knew
Romeo was Bella's beau.
He wondered if he was the last to know.
Hans replied, [What else did you expect?]
Chasel texted, [Our families have an understanding. Who else but Romeo could be worthy of our sister?]
Clark texted back, [Do | even need to spell it out for you? Just watch how Bella and he are together, and be nice to Romeo. He's the
guy she’s chosen, and she’s fiercely protective of him.]
Sean thought he might have messed up; he had almost gotten into a fight with Romeo. What if Bella got the wrong impression?
David sent a message, [Honestly, no one else is good enough for Bella. It's hard to let her go, but Romeo's treatment of her is
flawless.]

That was one of the reasons he felt at ease handing his sister over to Romeo.
Seeing how highly his brothers thought of Romeo, Sean noticed Romeo staying close by Bella's side, mirroring Sean by holding
onto the hem of her shirt, careful to maintain a respectful distance.
Clearing his throat, Sean casually suggested, “Maybe | should pick out something for my future brother-in-law?”
Both Arabella and Romeo were taken aback by Sean's sudden change of heart.

“Let's check out this store,” Sean said, stepping into a nearby boutique. He approached the sales associate and asked, “Where's
the men’s section?”
He figured buying Romeo a few pieces of clothing might please Bella. Could it smooth over any awkwardness from earlier?
“Sean? Mr. McMillian? President Arabella?” The sales associate was stunned to see their very own President Arabella and quickly
spoke into their walkie-talkie, “President Arabella is here, everyone cout to greet her!”
