Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052

Romeo wasn't around, so Joyce and Mavis could eat to their heart's content.

“Mmm, this is delicious. Is it coated with salted egg yolk? It smells so good."

Mavis always shared the tastiest bites with Arabella.

When Joyce came across something scrumptious, she'd share it with Arabella too. "Such a pity, If only Nydia was here, she's such a foodie."

“No problem, we can pack some for her."

“Bella, you're the best! But won't we embarrass you? Won't the manager think we're like starving ghosts reincarnated, acting as if we've never seen good food before?"

Not only were they feasting like kings, they were also planning on taking some home.

“Sharing good food with friends is nothing to be ashamed of.” Arabella didn't see a problem and even showed her support, “If there’s anything else you like, I can have it packed for you."

“Bella, you're too kind"

In the end, they left with full bellies, and the manager had the kitchen prepare some extra dishes for them to take away.

A helicopter ride back to school would have been too conspicuous, so Romeo arranged for a car to wait for them at the resort's entrance.

Knowing that Arabella was taking her classmates home, Romeo gently cradled her face and said, “Let me know once you're done with school stuff, and I'll come pick you up."

“Okay"

“Doom's gang will likely make a move soon, so stay cautious.” Romeo looked into her bright eyes, warning her, “If there's danger, find a way to contact me like you did today."

“I got it"

“Try not to get hurt.” Romeo continued, still holding her face, “Take care of your wounds, don't let therm get wet, and change the bandages later."

Arabella couldn't help but laugh at his fussing.

Romeo caught on to her amusement and chuckled, “Am I nagging too much?"

“No"

Romeo leaned down to give her a quick peck on the lips, his eyes filled with reluctance, “Alright, you should go now."

Arabella finally got in the car.

Romeo personally closed the car door for her, reminding her to message or call him once she arrived.

“Alright"

Arabella knew he had to deal with the guys they caught today, so she motioned for him to get back to work.

“So, Mr. MeMillian, shall I depart now?” The driver was eager to start the car, but wasn't sure if Romeo was done with his instructions.

“Make sure you get them safely back to school” Romeo advised, “Drive slowly on the way."

“Okay, Mr. McMillian"

Arabella waved at him, and it wasn't until Romeo's figure had shrunk to a dot in the distance that Joyce and Mavis began to tease her.

“Bella, Romeo really cares for you, he's giving so many instructions for such a short journey."

“1 feel like even our driver, Hans, is feeling the pressure, I can teil he really cares about you."

“You better call him once we get back."

Half an hour later.

As soon as Arabella got back to school, she received a call from Grandpa Beck.

“Hey, Arabella, where are you? We've made some progress on Carol's antidote. I've had a major breakthrough"
