Chapter 1944


    "Can''t I even chat with my sis-inw for a minute?" Cathy retorted with a rebellious ir, her voice


    tinged with defiance. "I hardly cling to her. Grandma and Grandpa chatted her up way more just now.


    Why don''t you send them off to count their gift in the corner?"


    Romeo''s gaze hardened, and Cathy quickly grabbed Arabe''s hand, pleading for help. "Be."


    The unspoken message was clear: Save me! Romeo''s about to go off on me again!


    Arabe cracked a smile and nced up at Romeo, "Where did you put the holiday presents I got for


    Grandma and Grandpa?"


    "I''ll go get them."


    Romeo shot Cathy a warning look before he left.


    "Wow, Be, you actually got him to move." Cathy was starstruck by Arabe''s influence. "Wait, you


    didn''t even ask him, and off he went. Am I blind or has he changed. Is that really my big brother?"


    No, her big brother was still the same—stern and aloof with them.


    But with his wife, Arabe, he was all tenderness.


    "Be, you gotta cover for me in the future! Any tasty treats I get, they''re all yours. Any cool spots I find,


    you''re the first one I''ll take! Any perkse my way, you''re the one I''ll think of first—just protect me. If I


    can avoid Romeo''s ws—no, his ''educational'' grip—for the rest of my life."

    Arabe couldn''t help but chuckle at Cathy''s earnest appeal.


    "Be, you''ve got such a beautiful smile. You should do it more often." Cathy rambled on. "When you


    first came around, you seemed so cool and distant, but then you smiled, and I was totally blown away. I


    hereby dere, from today onwards, my sister Luna''s beauty takes second ce, and you''re in the


    lead!"


    "Thanks for the ranking," Arabe said with a soft smile.


    When Romeo returned with the holiday gifts Arabe had prepared for the elders, she personally


    handed them out.


    Phillip, Shirley, George, and Jennifer each received a fine painting.


    As for Tomas and Donna.


    Arabe hadn''t expected them for the holiday dinner and had prepared nothing.


    Although Tomas and Donna insisted it was fine, Arabe still excused herself to the study and penned


    a calligraphic piece for each of them.


    "Be, aren''t you a bit too quick with that?" Cathy watched Arabe''s brush dance across the paper,


    utterly amazed.


    Seeing Arabe''s work, Cathy suddenly yearned to learn how to write like that.


    Jeffery and Luna, too, werepletely taken aback by Arabe''s talent. They couldn''t believe that in


    such a short time, she could produce such beautiful script.


    This was the work of a true calligrapher. The brushwork wasmendable and awe-inspiring.


    Once the ink was dry, Arabe brought the pieces down to Tomas and Donna, earning their surprise


    and praise.


    It was past ten in the evening when she decided to head home.
