Chapter 1479


    “Does your fiancée know about your temper?” The voice on the other end of the phone struggled to


    suppress a chuckle.


    “Ha, she loves everything about me.”


    “Even your affairs?”


    “Man, you''re really asking for a smack.”


    “Hahaha.” The guy on the phone burst intoughter, “I was totally strong-armed into calling, man. Is

    she there? I need to clear the air with her.”


    “Just beat it, will ya? Don’t bother my fiancée.”


    “Just let me say a few words to her, I promise.”


    “Your voice is too gruff; I don’t want to scare her.”


    “Gruff? Me? Are you kidding? Maybe you’re losing your hearing. Forget it, just hand her the phone, bro.


    I need to exin.”


    “Beat it.” Romeo hung up directly.


    Arabe couldn''t help butugh, “Your friend’s quite the character.”


    “He’s just a pain in the neck when he’s not looking for a beating. Otherwise, he’s a decent guy.”


    Smiling, Arabe asked, “So, what’s next on the agenda?”


    “There’s a McMllian Corporation airstrip nearby.” Romeo nced at her, “That girl is a friend’s sister.


    Their family went generations with only sons until this little princess popped out. So, she’s pretty


    spoiled. My buddy indulges her, and sometimes even drags her along to gatherings so she won’t feel


    left out.”


    Arabe nodded in understanding, “So, the guy on the phone, he’s her brother?”


    “Nope. Her brother knows I don’t have feeling towards her, so he never helps her with this. She ropes


    in his friends to do it for her, and she’s tried every trick in the book with them. When their family was


    caught up in some inheritance drama, they were worried she might be in danger. They made up a story


    about her going missing, but in reality, they stashed her at our ce. My parents were abroad and


    swamped with work, so they couldn’t look after her. It was just me and her at home.”


    Arabe nodded, “Ah, that exins her crush on you.”


    In times of turmoil, it was not strange for someone to fall for the person who offered them a sense of


    security, especially someone with Romeo’s good looks.


    With that thought, Arabe’s gaze shifted to the man beside her. Even his profile was wless,


    especially those bright, piercing eyes.


    “She didn’t stay long. Once her family sorted out their issues, they whisked her away. That was years


    ago.”


    Romeo couldn’t remember exactly how many years. He’d never really cared.


    Natalie, however, had developed a soft spot for him after staying with him.


    “Did she ever confess her feelings to you?” Arabe inquired.


    “She did, but I made it clear I wasn’t interested. I only saw her as a sister.”


    Honestly, not even a sister. Still, Natalie kept bombarding him with messages. Out of respect for his


    friend, he’d never blocked her, but he rarely replied.


    Unless it was something about his friend getting hurt or a birthday- that kind of stuff would get his


    attention.


    “Be, you’re the first person I’ve ever truly loved.” Romeo said, looking at her earnestly, “I’ve never


    thought about spending my life with anyone but you. You’re the first and thest.”


    From the moment he saw her, he couldn’t look away.


    He couldn’t believe how much he could like someone, to the point of no return.


    “You’re my first, too.”


    Arabe''s simple words caught Romeo off guard, and then he realized she was responding to him.


    He was her first love. His lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. All the worry and


    unease vanished, reced by pure sweetness.
