Chapter 249 Early the next morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as Arabella was about to head out, she heard Edith saying, “Ms. Bella, your bro has been waiting for you for two nights straight.” “Bro?” Arabella was a bit surprised. “He's back?” “Yes, your brother rushed back to see you as soon as he finished all his business abroad. But you've been out early and back late these past two days; he hasn't seen you yet.” With that, Edith asked softly, “Can you make it home for dinner tonight?” She could tell her brother really wanted to see his sister.
But Arabella remembered she had to tutor Molly in her professional knowledge after work: “I might be a bit late for dinner; I'll try to get home as early as possible.” “Great!” Edith smiled. “Your brother will be thrilled to see you.” Lately, Arabella was swamped, which gave Serena an opening to cozy up to Hans Collins.
As Arabella stepped out of the house, she saw Romeo leaning against his car, on the phone from afar.
He was tall and elegant, and every move he made exuded a unique aristocratic vibe.

Take care of yourself while I'm away.” “I'm not a kid.” A sslight arch appeared in Romeo's brows. “I'll try to wrap things up and get back as soon as possible.” “Uh-huh.” “You're going for just one day.” Arabella knew he was overly concerned about her. “Don’t worry, I'll take good care of myself.” Hearing her say that, Romeo's eyes softened. “The bag next to you is for you; take a look.” Arabella opened it and found not only the things she needed for her period but also a hot water bottle and snacks.
Romeo was worried that the Collins family might not have prepared these for her since she had just returned.
“If they're not good, I'll get you something else.” Arabella blushed slightly, understanding what he meant.
“The ginger tea is individually packed; have a bag when your period comes.” “Use the hot water bottle if you feel uncomfortable.” “You can also snack during your period.” After dropping Arabella off near her office, Romeo opened the car door, hugging her reluctantly and saying, “I've already planted the marigold. I'll take you to see it when | come back.” “Okay.” “Don't stress too much about tomorrow's competition. Do your best.” Romeo gazed at her, his expression filled with affection and tenderness. “I'll try to be back before the competition starts.” “Okay, no rush.”
