Chapter 1623


    "Because you were looking into those," Steward''s words trailed off as he sensed the icy gaze from


    Sean. He quickly corrected himself, "I mean, it wasn''t convenient to discuss with Mr. and Mrs. Collins


    because of your injuries, plus there are a bunch of things that need your personal touch, so I just told


    them you''d be back once you wrapped up."


    Sean smirked, his sister was clearly a master at ying her cards right. She even managed to get


    Hans, the most stubborn mule in the family, to run errands for her. The corners of Sean''s mouth

    twitched upwards in a smile, seemingly scornful by the girl''s petty schemes.


    "Where is she now?"


    She??


    Steward caught on instantly, replying at once, "She''s got apetitioning up in a couple of days;


    she should show up."


    "Should?" Sean''s voice lifted yfully at the end.


    "I believe she''ll definitely make an appearance."


    Seeing Sean''s lips curl upward, Steward breathed a silent sigh of relief. Thankfully he hadn''t


    misspoken, or else he could kiss his holiday goodbye.


    Early in the next morning, Arabe had barely gotten out of bed when she received a message from


    Romeo.


    "Got to head overseas for a bit, about two days. Will message when I get there. Get some rest, no


    worries."


    Just as Arabe was about to reply, she got another message from one of her employees.


    [Boss, a royal princess is requesting your services for a custom gown. Are you avable? It''s an


    overseas job, and she insists on you taking her measurements personally. Name the price.]


    [When?]


    [The sooner, the better. Also, ourb is short on a certain chemical; need to make a run to Belloria as


    well.]


    [Book me on the afternoon flight then.]


    [You got it!]


    Arabe messaged Romeo to briefly exin the situation, and then headed downstairs for breakfast.


    Eight days until New Year''s Eve.


    "What in the world is going on here! David and Be are siblings, yet these rumors make it sound like


    they''re dating."


    "People''s imaginations are too wild. Can''t they just be brother and sister?"


    Seeing her parents getting worked up, Arabe couldn''t help but ask, "What''s going on?"


    "Be, there you are." Louisa quickly put away her phone and served her a bowl of nourishing oatmeal,


    "It''s nothing; just some inte users specting that you and David are dating. There''s even a bunch


    rooting for you two."


    Arabe sat down, not understanding why theizens were heating up the sibling topic again.


    "They noticed the gown you wore at your concert was from the same designer as your brother''s tux."


    "That''s right." Arabe continued her breakfast, stating the facts, "It was indeed a spare gown from


    David''s collection."


    The outfits were all custom-ordered from the same brand; it wasn''t like she brought her own. However,


    theizens probably didn''t know the whole story.


    "When you sat down to y the piano, someone noticed you hadn''t changed your shoes, and they


    were a matching pair with David''s."


    Arabe hadn''t expected such a small detail to be dug up. She looked at the photo Louisa handed her;


    indeed, when she sat on the piano bench, only a hint of her shoes was visible. She never thought that


    would be uncovered.
