Chapter 1807


    Was Romeo being a jerk just now? But that surely couldn''t be enough to steam Sean up like this?


    "Is this the guy you''re engaged to?" Sean looked incredulously at his sister. "He''s so stingy, so


    disrespectful, and he takes advantage of you. How can you even consider marrying him?"


    Arabe''s gaze shifted towards Romeo. Stingy? Disrespectful? Taking advantage?


    "Sean, you''ve got it all wrong."


    Before Romeo could even begin to exin, Sean cut in, "Have the guts to step out from behind my


    sister and face me."


    "You wanted to see some real progress, didn''t you?" Romeo finally spoke up.


    "I was talking about the kind of progress that happens slowly, with feelings warming gradually. I didn''t


    say you should get all handsy and cozy that fast!"


    So this was what had ticked Sean off?


    "Come here." Sean looked like he wanted to punch Romeo. "What, you chicken? You scared?"

    "Be, I''ll talk to Sean."


    "Talk, yes, but no fighting," Arabe stepped aside, her beautiful eyes watching them intently.


    Her words forced Sean to unclench his fists, darn it. That Romeo, he''d find a way to give him a piece of


    his mind one of these days.


    Steward, standing to the side, wasn''t quite sure how to intervene, especially since Mr. McMillian was


    being so outrageous, so over the top.


    It was normal for Sean to be protective of his sister.


    As Sean stormed off, he gave a chair a vicious kick. "Can someone kill the damn sound effects


    already?"


    The theater was still ying some creepy horror movie soundtrack.


    Steward immediately got in touch with the staff to turn it off.


    The lights came on too.


    The whole theater finally lit up.


    Sean moved to the side steps, ring at Romeo.


    "Come on, spill it. Why were you glued to your phone during your date? Leaving my sister all by


    herself?"


    Images shed through Romeo''s mind, but not a single one involved leaving Be hanging.


    "The hell are you waiting for?" Sean was raging but caught his sister''s eye and backed down a bit. Was


    this guy still scrambling toe up with a lie?


    "Are you talking about at the diner?" Romeo remembered. That was the only time he had nced at


    his phone.


    "What else would it be? Or are you telling me there were other times you left my sister on her own?"


    "I was discussing something about photos with Be," Romeo said with a light chuckle, exining, "I


    took some pictures of her and sent them to her, so she could keep them."


    Steward was taken aback, he had thought Mr. McMillian and Ms. Beckedmon ground, and


    that Romeo was perhaps browsing the for conversation topics. Turns out they were sharing photos.


    Photos on a first date?


    Sean was pondering this while also itching to give Romeo a piece of his mind. But then, Be''s gaze


    softened him a bit. "A McMillian, living so frugally. I could overlook the modest three-course meal, but


    taking leftovers home, and then making my sister pay."


    Not too far off, Arabe pitched in, "I paid using his card."


    Sean and Steward were both surprised.


    "He gave me a card with no spending limit a long time ago. I never used it until today. He brought it up,


    so I thought I might as well."


    Her words stunned Sean and Steward. Had they misunderstood Romeo?


    Romeo wasn''t stingy?


    A no-limit credit card? That was more than generous!


    "I asked for the leftovers because you added those dishes to the order. I hate waste, so thanks, Sean."


    Arabe walked up to her brother, a smile ying on her lips.


    "How did you know those dishes were added by me?" Sean questioned and then looked back at


    Romeo. "Did he tell you?"
