Chapter 1478


    Before Romeo could finish his sentence, his car''s disy lit up with an iing call from an unfamiliar


    number with no saved contact name.


    "Is that her cell?" Arabe teased with a chuckle, "You''ve got it memorized?"


    He hesitated to pick up. Knowing who it was without a saved name meant the number was etched in


    his heart.


    "No, you''ve got it all wrong. She''s just...she''s never changed her number since we were kids," Romeo


    quickly dismissed the call.


    "So you''ve known each other since childhood?"


    Arabe''s meaningful nce made Romeo m on the brakes, eager to rify, "We knew of each


    other, but weren''t close, totally unrted."


    "She''s your buddy''s younger sister, right? You said you knew her number by heart. Grew up together


    but still no connection?"


    "That''s ''cause a long time ago, my folks looked after her for a while."


    Watching Arabe''s knowing nod, Romeo grew more anxious, "Not like that, her family had some


    troubles."


    He grabbed Arabe''s hand, pleading with his eyes, "Anyway, they moved to Dawnstar after that, and


    we barely saw each other once a year."


    "That''s kind of a shame."


    "Be," Romeo was truly frantic now, "don''t get it wrong. Should I block her to make you happy?"


    "That might not be enough, given she''s your friend''s sister," Arabe feigned a dilemma.


    "Then I''ll change my number."


    "No can do, your current number''s tied to so many things, like bank ounts, WhatsApp."


    "I can update all that."


    "What if you miss something?"


    "I''ll keep the old number inactive, just shut it down, and if I ever need it, I''ll turn it back on." Romeo was


    desperate for her understanding, willing to do anything she asked.


    "And if she finds out your new number? You''ll change it again?"


    "I''ll make things clear with her."

    "Weren''t things clear already? You said she''s just like a sister to you."


    "I don''t even have sisterly affection for her, Be." Romeo was at a loss for words, "Baby, honey~"


    Before meeting Arabe, he was always reserved, hardly the type to spill his guts like this.


    Seeing his distressed face, Arabe couldn''t help butugh.


    "You''re joking around?" Romeo finally caught on.


    "Let''s get moving. Don''t block the road."


    Although other drivers wouldn''t dare mess with his license te, it was still a public road after all.


    Stopping like that looked bad.


    Seeing Arabe smile and act nonchnt, Romeo finally rxed, caressing her face, "You scared me. I


    was about to drag you to my friend''s ce to vouch for me."


    He had no extra feelings for Natalie, not even a sliver.


    "If I do that, I''ll lose face in front of your friends. They''ll think I''m a shrew."


    "It''s my own choice to steer clear of flirts, nothing to do with you. Besides," Romeo gazed into her eyes,


    "I like it when you''re in charge."


    Feeling her concern, he knew he was cherished.


    Just then, his friend called again. Romeo tapped the answer button without hesitation, "You got a death


    wish? You think I''m too busy to deal with you? If you dare y messenger for someone else again,


    we''ll see if I let you off the hook."
