Chapter 1390


    Seconds ticked by, and the surrounding tourists were all rubbernecking, eager for a spectacle.


    "Looks like their connections aren''t cutting it."


    "Think about it, that kind of prime spot isn''t just for anyone! After all, it''s a famedndmark in the


    country!"


    "I bet she''s just some ordinary heiress, way out of her league!"


    Serena could feel her anxiety mounting as she listened to their whispers. She turned to Martin, "Well.


    What''s the word?"


    Martin was still waiting for his dad''s text. Today was his grandpa’s birthday, and his Dad was probably


    busy keeping his grandpapany, not checking his phone.


    He himself had almost forgotten his grandpa''s birthday. Thankfully, he had the present ready. He''d drop


    it offter, along with an apology.


    He wouldn''t make dinner, though. Serena had agreed to eat with him, and that was a rare treat.


    "Just a little longer,’ Martin said soothingly.


    Serena was irked. If this was Romeo, his presence alone would''ve swung the doors wide open. In the


    end, it was Martin''sck of clout that was embarrassing.


    He couldn''t even book a venue without causing her to be the butt of jokes!


    After what felt like an eternity, she decided it might be time to call in Uncle Bard to turn the tables—


    anything was better than being mocked by this crowd!


    As she stewed over this, Serena couldn''t help but silently rebuke Martin for making her resort to asking


    Uncle Bard for help. Utterly useless!


    Just as she was about to pull out her phone, Martin''s buzzed with a message from his father, who had


    already squared things away.


    Martin smiled at her, “Serena, we can qo up soon"


    “For real? You managed to book it?" Serena wrapped him in a hug, her mood instantly lifting. "How


    much longer do we have to wait?"


    “Just until the current guests clear out, and then it''s all ours."

    “I''m gonna want to stay up there for a while then!"


    She raised her voice purposefully with thatst remark, causing the tourists around them to groan


    inwardly.


    How long would it be before they could ascend now?


    Serena couldn''t have felt prouder, and for once, she looked at Martin with genuine affection.


    At the summit.


    Romeo wrapped his arms around Arabe from behind, both of them gazing down at the sprawling


    Oakridge City below.


    How he wished he could freeze this moment in time.


    “Be,” Romeo''s voice was tender and maic, “do you like Dawnstar?"


    “Are we talking a fleeting fondness, or the settle-down-and-stay kind of like?” Arabe yed along,


    still captivated by the view. "If it''s thetter. I''d rather build our life back home."


    “Then that''s where we''ll be,” Romeo said indulgently. “Wherever you want to live, I''ll follow. If you wish


    to disappear, we''ll retreat to the heart of the wilderness. If you want to make your mark, I''ll be by your


    side, through thick and thin."


    Arabe turned, her smile light, “And what if I''m just hungry?"


    Romeo chuckled, his hand instinctively finding her stomach, "What about some gourmet food?"


    "Perfect."


    When the two of them hand in hand stepped out of the elevator back on the first floor, everyone was


    stunned.


    "Doesn''t that guy look just like Romeo?"


    "Kinda does, is it really him? He''s even more handsome than in the pictures online!"


    “Who''s that girl with him? She''s gorgeous!"


    “Was it them who booked the whole ce? Did Romeo do that for her?“
