Chapter 1406


    “Alright, you head on back now."


    Arabe was well aware that Romeo had a few loose ends to tie up in Dawnstar, and he had already


    taken time out of his busy day to be with her.


    The poor guy hadn''t had a moment''s rest.


    "Get some sleep early, alright? And call me anytime, Romeo said, his eyes brimming with reluctance.


    He leaned in, his lips lingering on hers for a while before he whispered softly, "I''ll text you when I get


    home."


    "Sure, drive safe, and take it slow,’ Arabe urged, her gaze lingering on him longer than she intended,

    "Just be careful, okay?"


    "You care about me now.’ The satisfaction in Romeo''s eyes was undeniable.


    It seemed his long-held affection was finally being reciprocated.


    After he left, several of the household staff quickly surrounded Arabe, effectively blocking her path.


    "Ms. Be, I''m just dying to know. What''s it like dating the one and only Romeo?"


    "How on earth did you manage to snag him? Spill the beans, will you? You''ve got us all curious!"


    "What did you do to make him so utterly devoted to you? You must have some secret. Oh! Mr.


    McMillian."


    They certainly hadn''t expected Romeo toe back, and the staff quickly ducked their heads and


    stepped back.


    Romeo was surprised to find the staff so close to Arabe, and even more surprised to see the warmth


    in her eyes when they surrounded her. He femembered when he first met her, she rarely showed such


    a tender side.


    She was always so cool and detached.


    Had she changed, or had he just never really known her?


    "I just remembered, I have a gift for you that I haven''t given yet.” Romeo pulled out a small box from his


    coat pocket.


    The staff peeked curiously. It was a small, square box, about the size of a palm. Could it be that Mr.


    McMillian was going to propose?


    With that thought, their faces lit up with knowing grins, wondering if Ms. Be would say ‘yes’ right then


    and there.


    Inside the box, Arabe found a chocte molded into the shape of The Emerald Tower, with "I love


    you" inscribed on it.


    The staff craned their necks to see that it wasn''t a ring, but the deration of love on the chocte


    made them giggle even more.


    Romeo sure knew how to y the romance card.


    "When did you buy this?" Arabe was surprised. He seemed to have a magic touch, always pulling out


    gifts from thin air.


    "I had it custom-made in advance. Not too shabby, right? I thought you''d like it." Romeo said, and


    without a second nce at the others, tenderly stroked her hair, "I''ll head back now."


    "Yeah, okay.’ Arabe watched him walk away.


    "Now Mr. McMillian won''t be popping back unexpectedly, right?"


    "Ms. Be, does the chocte have anything written on the other three sides? I caught a glimpse of


    one side, and it was all written up. It''s not some condensed version of a love letter, is it?"


    Arabe''s gazended on her, “You have quite the eye for detail."


    "It''s just the angle. I swear I wasn''t snooping! It was totally by chance."


    The staff were eager to gossip more, but then Arabe asked, "Do we have any spare vases?"


    In her other hand, she held a sprig of blossom, several pure white flowers bloomed on the branch,


    looking particrly fresh and elegant.


    "Of course! Mrs. Griffith loves flowers. We''ve got vases of all sorts” One of the staff hurried off to fetch


    one for her.


    Arabe took the vase to her room, filled it with water, and ced the blossoms inside. Her eyes


    softened as she admired them.


    The next morning dawned bright and early.
