Chapter 1790
Sean finished his warning, and as he turned back to Arabe, his gaze softened into pure adoration,
"Come on, let''s head upstairs for some fruit."
Arabe nodded, following Sean closely.
The basement door locked behind them, and Serenay submerged in the icy water, her fists clenched
in humiliation as tears overflowed from her eyes.
In the living room.
Sean carefully peeled the skin off a grape, trying his best to be gentle, yet the surface of the fruit still
ended up looking pitted and rough - not smooth at all.
He had never peeled fruit for himself before. Firstly, because he found it bothersome, and secondly,
because the servants usually prepared the fruit, peeling it and presenting it ready to eat.
He hadn''t even peeled the likes of lychees before.
"What a mess," Sean was dissatisfied with his peeled grape, and tossed it into the trash before
attempting another.
Peeling grapes was proving to be much trickier than dealing with people. At the rate he was going, he
could have taken down a few foes.
"Your sister is lucky to even get one grape peeled by you," Louisa was also peeling grapes for Arabe,
her movements swift. In no time at all, she had a small pile of perfectly peeled grapes, smooth and
shiny, which she ced onto Arabe''s ss fruit te. Without realizing it, she had already prepped a
good seven or eight.
"When I''m not home, you must spoil Be rotten with peeled fruit. Now that I''m back, can''t you let me
shine for once? You''re overshadowing me. What''s the point of me even trying?"
After hisment, Sean turned to Keh, "Dad, after dinner, can''t you and mom take a stroll in the
garden? Enjoy the scenery? Bond a little?"
"I was worried about keeping your sister waiting."
Before Louisa could finish, Keh interceded with a chuckle, "Right, right, Sean''s got a point. We
haven''t taken a walk in ages. With the family visiting, let''s all go for a walk after dinner. Get some fresh
air."
"A few extraps might help us stay in shape." Sean added, "We''ve got Be''s wedding reception to
think about. It would be a real shame if you two showed up with a beer belly or out of shape."
Keh and Louisa agreed, realizing the importance of staying fit - not just for the distant wedding
reception but also for the grand wee-back party they wanted to throw for Be during the holidays.
A potbelly was not an option!
"Then you better get to peeling for your sister, and quick. Don''t keep her waiting." Louisa advised
before standing up to leave, "I''ll go call Bard and Eunice."
"I''ll get your coat; it''s chilly outside," Keh added as he went to prepare.
Only Sean, Arabe, and Steward remained in the living room.
Steward felt like he shouldn’t be there and, checking the time, said timidly, "So Sean, if there''s nothing
else, may I take my leave?"
"What, you''re waiting for me to peel you a grape?"
ssic Sean. Steward swallowed hard and nced at Arabe, "Well, Ms. Collins, I''ll be off then."
"Take care."
After Steward left, only the siblings were present.

Sean had carelessly mentioned the wedding reception, which was like rubbing salt into Arabe''s
wounds. He nced at his sister, feeling a bit guilty.
Timothy had just broken up with her. Although Arabe seemed nonchnt, snacking on grapes, Sean
knew she must be hurting inside.
"Sis, it''s just us now. If you''re feeling down, go ahead and cry it out. My shoulder''s here for you."
Arabe was perplexed.
"I know about your boyfriend." he started, about to mention the breakup with Timothy, but then he
reconsidered and said, "He''s not good enough for you."
Arabe looked even more confused. Romeo not good enough for her? Then who was?
"I think he was good for me."
Her indifferent response stopped Sean''s peeling mid-motion. What had Timothy done to capture his
sister''s heart so thoroughly that she still had a favorable impression of him, even after the breakup?
No, he had to find a way to help his sisterpletely forget about him.
