"Sweetheart, be a good girl and eat more, okay?" Jennifer was still serving dishes to Arabella.
"These two dishes were made by me, you should give them a try too," George spoke to her in an indulgent tone. It was the first
tthey saw George show such affection to someone other than Jennifer, especially to a junior.
"These dishes were made by Grandpa and Grandma, give them a taste, okay?"
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, but there's too much, | can't finish it all," Arabella's bowl was piled high with food.
"Bella, you performed the heart surgery for Grandpa, and cured Grandma's illness. We will never forget this kindness. We both
toast to you." Tomas and Donna stood up, raising their glasses.
"Bella is still young, she can't drink," Phillip and Shirley said simultaneously.

Romeo poured a little lemon water into Arabella's empty glass, not too much, fearing it might upset her stomach before dinner.
Arabella stood up and, seeing the two elders finish their drinks in front of her, said gently, "You're too kind. Saving lives and healing
the wounded is my duty. I'll raise a toast to you both." She drank the lemon water in one gulp. Tomas and Donna smiled, satisfied
with her response.
Everyone urged Arabella to eat more in a lively atmosphere.
"Bella, try this dish. | wish you a prosperous life, successful studies, and everything going well in the coming year. May it be as
flourishing as fire." Cathy stood up and served Arabella two big prawns.
"And these dishes..." Cathy served all the other dishes to Arabella, saying, "l wish you a year full of laughter, good luck, successful
endeavors, happiness, and most importantly, may your relationship with my eldest brother deepen and becsweeter."
"Thank you," Arabella noticed that Cathy's hostility had disappeared, replaced by respect and admiration. Could it be because of
Romeo just now?
Arabella's gaze fell on Romeo, whose expression seemed normal.
"Bella, please try them. If they're not good, I'll serve you something else." Cathy hoped Arabella would accept her goodwill and
show it to her eldest brother.
"Wow, Cathy, you're so sweet today," Shirley chuckled. "Speaking of which, you should learn more from your sister-in-law. Her
virtues are like the stars in the sky, countless."
"When | saw her for the first ttonight, | knew she was extraordinary!"
Cathy hadn't finished speaking when she saw her eldest brother personally peeling shrimp for Arabella. Indeed, she wasn't an
ordinary person to make her eldest brother peel shrimp for her.

After peeling the shrimp, Romeo fed it to Arabella.
"It's delicious."
Cathy finally breathed a sigh of relief. Did this mean Arabella approved of the dishes she served?
"Bella, | can peel shrimp too. Letpeel two for you." Cathy wiped her hands clean and started peeling the shrimp. "The shrimp |
peel is no worse than Romeo's."
"Bella, eat more," Jeffery and Luna warmly invited.
"You guys should eat too."
Arabella served everyone and also served sto Romeo.
