Chapter 128


    Who knew what kind of things that guy would be into?


    The next day, before the crack of dawn, Serena was already up and getting dolled up. She deliberately


    chose a ck cami dress; her hair was piled high on her head, exuding an aura of elegance and


    dignity


    “Serena, you’re drop–dead gorgeous!” Martha said, helping her put on a dazzling ne. “You’re


    way prettier than Ms. Bet in this getup.”


    “Martha, don’t sugarcoat it, I know I’m not as pretty as my sister.”


    Even when Arabe was dressed down, her aura and her pretty face outshone everyone else.


    Martha’s expression froze for a moment before sheughed and added, “Miss Serena, your features


    are bold and striking, just like someone from a well–off family should


    be”


    “Do you think Romeo will like what I’m wearing today?” Serena looked at herself in the mirror; her skin


    was delicate, her brows were clear and bright, and she was noble and elegant


    Martha sincerely admired her beauty: “If I were Mr. McMin, I would have been totally smitten by now!


    Miss Serena, be confident; you’ll definitely be the belle of the ball!” Just then, Holly knocked on the


    door and said, “Miss Serena, Mr. McMin is here. Ms. Be hasn’t woken up yet, and thedy of the


    house is still asleep. Would you like to go down and greet him first?”


    Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t contain her excitement. She hurriedly touched up her make–up and


    went downstairs ahead of everyone else.


    Romeo wanted to see his crush early, so he arrived forty minutes early. He told Edith not to wake


    anyone up; let them sleep in.


    When Serena came downstairs, she saw him sitting on the sofa. His aloof demeanorbined with his


    dignified figure made him unspeakably handsome..


    “Romeo, why are you so early? My sister isn’t an early riser.” Serena approached with a smile. “Shall I


    pour you a ss of milk?”


    “No need.”


    “You mustn’t have eaten anything yet since you came out so early. Have some milk first.”


    Just as Serena was about to head to the kitchen, she heard him say, “No need; I’ll wait for Be.”


    Serena’s smile froze on her face, but she quickly said, “If you’re waiting for my sister, why not take a


    stroll in the garden instead of just sitting here? You haven’t been here in a while. We’ve nted some


    new varieties in the garden. See if there’s anything Grandpa Phillip might like and take some back for


    him.”


    “No need.”


    “The air in the garden is great; it can bring good vibes for the whole day. It’s still early; I’ll apany

    you for a stroll.:


    “I’d rather be alone.”


    Romeo’s intention was clear, but Serena suddenly squatted down and gently touched his knee.


    “Romeo, ever since my sister came back, you’ve been colder towards me.” Before she could finish,


    Romeo shifted ufortably and said, “Please behave yourself.”


    Serena’s hand fell empty; her heart ached. “I know you like Arabe, but it wouldn’t hurt to talk to me!


    She’s so broad–minded, she wouldn’t mind. Besides, we’re not doing anything, just chatting.”


    In other words, if Arabe minded them chatting, it would mean she was petty and narrow–minded.


    Seeing her trying to get close again, Romeo’s gaze turned icy. “But I do mind, Miss Lisa; please


    respect yourself.”


    Seeing that he didn’t want to have anything to do with her, Serena looked at Martha in the distance.


    Martha gave her a hint with her eyes, and Serena touched his leg again. This time, Romeo immediately


    stood up, looking down at her and saying, “Enough.”
