Chapter 1925
Romeo nned to ask the chef for the recipeter, so when Be married him and longed for a taste of
home, he could whip up aforting cup for her, or perhaps they could make a trip back together.
"Did your family''s thing wrap up that quick?" Arabe asked offhandedly.
"Yeah, grandpa and grandma were both eager to get cooking, thinking of impressing you tonight with
their skills. Mom and dad were not to be outdone. When I left, all four of them were battling it out for
kitchen space, with the chef standing by, totally stressed out, unable to intervene but also unable to
watch them turn the kitchen into a disaster zone." Romeo said with a light chuckle, "They know you
love seafood, so tonight''s feast is mostly seafood-themed."
"That''s so considerate of them." Arabe said with augh, "Dinner here should be over by six or
seven; then we can head over to your grandparents'' and nibble on something."
"If they heard you say that, they''d be thrilled." Romeo pulled out his phone, "I''ll shoot them a message
to hold back on the experimental dishes. Otherwise, I might ban you from next year''s feast."
The elders weren''t sure if Arabe would make it today, but they were all vying to cook, hoping she
woulde and get a taste of their culinary efforts.

If they knew Arabe was definitelying tonight, they would be over the moon, eagerly awaiting her
arrival.
"You''re really crashing our dinner?" David stood by the long banquet table, watching Romeo stroll in
hand in hand with his sister. He felt a twinge of jealousy, "Can you maybe show a little restraint in
public? The deal isn''t sealed yet, and here you are, all over each other. Does Be''s reputation mean
nothing to you?"
"What can I say? You''re just jealous you don''t have a girlfriend," Romeo let go of Arabe''s hand only
to drape an arm around her waist, drawing her even closer, looking like the perfect pair.
"Just because you''ve got Be on your side now, doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want around
me. Listen here, she calls me bro, and you better show the same respect! Otherwise, you can forget
about stepping through this door!"
"If just saying ''bro'' can get me such an amazing fiancée, then I''m making out like a bandit." Romeo said
with a yful grin, acknowledging his friend''s tacit approval, "Thanks for acknowledging me as your
future brother-inw so soon, David. I''m looking forward to all the advice you''ll give me."
"Advice, my foot." David grumbled, pulling Romeo''s shoulder away from Be, "If it weren''t for the fact
that you''re my longtime buddy and the whole ''keep the benefits in the family'' thing, I''d never let Be
end up with you."
"So, I''m pretty important to you. Is that so, David?"
"Cut the crap." David said, “Don’t get used to call me like that so easily.”
Before he tried to make Romeo consider him as his brother; turned out it was a
herculean task. Ever since Be came into the picture, Romeo had changed so
unnoticeably fast.
"Once a brother-inw, it’ll be a done deal." Romeo joked, "I''ll be calling you ''bro'' until the day you''re
six feet under."
"Get out of here, talking about graves on New Year! Whether you remain my brother-inw depends on
how you act from here on out. I''ve been dancing my bones off at concerts recently," David feigned a
shoulder ache.
Romeo got the hint, "Be, David wants me to give him a massage. Hang on a sec."
"No, no, I did not say that!" David blurted, not expecting Romeo to be so cunning as to use Be
against him.
"The thing is, I can''t have physical contact with anyone else, even guys, it''s just not right," Romeo said
with feigned resignation.
"Be, he''s bullying me!!"
Arabe couldn''t help butugh, "Have you guys ever had a moment of peace in all these years?"
Always this love-hate rtionship?
