Chapter 1935


    "My sweet pea, there you are atst!" Shirley eximed as she saw Arabe step out of the car,


    rushing to sp her hand. "We''ve been looking forward to this moment forever!"


    "Having you here to share dinner with us old folks fills us with such joy," Phillip chimed in as he


    followed Arabe inside, his face creased with a warm smile.


    "Sorry to keep you waiting, Grandma and Grandpa. Happy New Year," Arabe said with a warm smile.


    "Your presence is the best gift we could ask for."


    Meanwhile, Romeo, who alighted from the car as well, felt thoroughly overlooked.


    He retrieved the presents the Collins family had prepared from the trunk and approached, "Grandma,


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Grandpa, these are from Be''s parents, a token of their affection for you."


    "Oh, you brought so many gifts." Phillip and Shirley were surprised to see their grandson carrying quite


    a few items. "You shouldn''t have."


    "Be has some gifts for you too, we''ll give them to you after dinner."


    "You got us presents too?" Phillip was bbergasted and touched, "You''re too thoughtful, kiddo. It''s us


    who should be giving you the gift, not the other way around. After dinner, we''ll give you your gift."


    "Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa."


    The old couple couldn''t hide their delight.


    Just then, Jennifer, hearing of Arabe''s arrival, dashed over, apron still on.


    "My darling girl!" Jennifer embraced Arabe tightly, overjoyed. "So d you''ve made it! I''ve just


    whipped up your favorite dish,e on in, and no need to take off your shoes."


    "Be''s here? Now the gang''s all here. I''ll tell them to start serving the meal!" George announced


    happily.


    Arabe greeted each of them in turn and as she entered, noticed some other guests in the living room.


    "Let me introduce you, this is Tomas and Donna," Romeo said, wrapping an arm around Arabe''s


    waist as he introduced her gently.


    "Happy New Year!" Arabe said politely to the two elders rising from the couch.


    "So you''re the girl Romeo''s fond of? You are quite beautiful, and you have an outstanding presence,"


    remarked the woman, Donna, dressed in elegance and grace, her skin radiant and actions exuding the


    demeanor of a woman from a distinguished family.


    "It''s a pleasure to have you, I''m Tomas," said Tomas, George''s brother, whose dignified bearing


    "And this is my cousin Jeffrey."


    "Hello, Be, it''s a pleasure to meet you," Jeffrey said, his handsome and dashing appearance


    "Hello," Arabe greeted him with a friendly nod.


    "And this is my cousin Luna."


    "Hello, Be," Luna greeted, her beauty serene and tranquil like an autumnke, her features finely


    drawn.


    "Hello," Arabe responded softly.


    "And here''s little cousin Cathy."


    Cathy was a blend of cuteness and spirit, shining like a bright pearl.


    With Romeo present, Cathy still greeted Arabe, "Hello, Be, I''m so d to finally meet you."


    She hadn''t expected Arabe to be this striking in person.


    Previously, Cathy had thought her sister Luna was the most beautiful person in the world, with her


    unique, cool beauty and noble grace.
