Chapter 249


    Early the next morning.


    Just as Arabe was about to head out, she heard Edith saying, “Ms. Be, your bro has been waiting


    for you for two nights straight.”


    “Bro?” Arabe 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 backte 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 Arabe remembered she had to tutor Molly in her professional knowledge after work: “I might be a


    bitte for dinner; I’ll try to get home as early as possible.”


    “Great!” Edith smiled. “Your brother will be thrilled to see you.”


    Lately, Arabe was swamped, which gave Serena an opening to cozy up to Hans Collins.


    As Arabe 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.


    As Arabe approached, she heard him say, “Yeah, this afternoon.”


    After hanging up, Romeo opened the passenger door for her; his aura naturally softened. “Have you


    had breakfast?”


    “Yeah.” Arabe looked up and asked, “Got something on in the afternoon?”


    “I have to make a quick overseas trip.” Romeo leaned down to fasten her seatbelt. “I’ll be back


    tomorrow afternoon. Take care of yourself while I’m away.” “I’m not a kid.”


    A slight 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.” Arabe 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.”


    Arabe 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.”


    Arabe blushed slightly, understanding what he meant.


    “The ginger tea is individually packed; have a bag when your periodes.”


    “Use the hot water bottle if you feel ufortable.”


    “You can also snack during your period.”


    After dropping Arabe off near her office, Romeo opened the car door, hugging her reluctantly and


    saying, “I’ve already nted the marigold. I’ll take you to see it when Ie back.”


    “Okay.”


    “Don’t stress too much about tomorrow’spetition. Do your best.” Romeo gazed at her, his


    expression filled with affection and tenderness. “I’ll try to be back before thepetition starts.”


    “Okay, no rush.”
