    Chapter 458


    Such a pricey item is rumored to only be passed on to the daughter–inw.


    Has Arabe already won Shirley’s approval?


    But she heard Shirley’s condition hasn’t gotten any better; could it be Phillip’s idea?


    Who would have thought that Arabe just got back to this family, not only loved by her parents but


    also favored by Phillip and Romeo? Look at Serena; the jealousy in her eyes was about to spill out.


    Such a restless child.


    “Romeo’s here?” Keh stood up cheerfully, signaling a seat beside him: “Come sit over here.”

    “Sorry, I got a bit held up. I’mte.” Romeo said, then looked at Lucas and Beverly. He spoke with


    gentlemanly politeness, “I’m really sorry for keeping everyone waiting; I’ll punish myself with three


    sses.”


    He picked up a ss of red wine from the table, poured it and drank it three times in a row.


    Even though Keh and Louisa both said it wasn’t necessary, and even Lucas and Beverly tried to


    dissuade him, Romeo still finished all three sses. His behavior was cold and noble, and his


    overwhelmingly strong aura coupled with a masculine charm was mesmerizing.


    “What a polite kid!”


    “He can really handle his wine–three sses–and he’s not even blushing or out of breath. Romeo, sit


    down. You must be hungry.” “Don’t wait for David; let’s start serving the food!”


    “Brother–inw, good evening.” Serena greeted with clear ulterior motives. Dressed to impress, her


    goal was to catch Romeo’s eye. Alma also called out to Romeo, but he only nodded slightly; his gaze


    quickly moved to Arabe, not lingering on them for long.


    A sh of disappointment crossed Serena’s eyes.


    “Romeo, I heard you’ve been really busytely. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of


    your health. Even though you’re young now, being career–driven is good, but it’s not worth it if you end


    up like me, aching all over when you’re old! You need to rest more; healthes first!” Lucas said with


    a chuckle.


    With adylike smile, Beverly said, “Romeo doesn’t need your reminders! He has a wife to take care of


    him.”


    “Hahaha, that’s true.”


    Beverly gently looked at Romeo, then at Arabe, saying, “Romeo is handsome and hardworking; Be


    is capable and stunningly beautiful. They’re a perfect match!”


    “Indeed.” Lucasughed, “Romeo, my brother went through a lot to find his daughter; you better


    cherish her! Or we, the elders, won’t agree!”


    “Don’t worry, I will cherish this fate and treat Be well.” As Romeo said this, he gave Arabe a doting


    look.


    Seeing the atmosphere heating up, Lucas changed the topic with a smile: “I heard you recently


    acquired severalpanies and bought the areas of Hollyfalls and Windhelm. Are you nning to


    build a residential district in Hollyfalls and a high–end department store in Windhelm?”


    Before Lucas could finish, Keh interrupted with augh, saying, “Hey, let’s not talk about work


    today. You rarelye, and you’ve already had three sses of wine. I should toast to you. You’ve


    been looking after Be and busy with work; you’ve worked hard.”


    He poured a ss of wine, and Romeo did the same for himself. He raised his ss and poured a bit


    out, saying, “You’re too kind; I’m honored to take care of Be.”


    “Haha, you’re quite the smooth talker.”


    Just as Keh was about to drink, Louisa and Arabe simultaneously reminded him, “Don’t drink too


    much.”


    At this, Keh and Romeo both paused, then put their sses down.


    “We’re about to eat; let’s not drink just yet!” Kehughed, clearly afraid of his wife.
