Chapter 418

They were sweating bullets, their forehead moist with beads of perspiration.

“Mr. Romeo, give us another shot! We’re really sorry!”

“We’ll beef up the security, swear to God, this won’t happen again!”

“We’d stake our lives on it!”

Romeo just tossed them a “Figure it out yourselves” and sauntered off with Arabella.

“Thought you were going to put me down?”

“I’ll hold you a bit longer.” Romeo had a date planned with her on Saturday, which got royally screwed

up by Ethan. Messing with his business was one thing, but messing with his date was a different

ballpark.

He wasn’t going to let this slide!

“I’ll take you somewhere else next time,” Romeo said, his voice soft.

They’d been on enough rides at the amusement park.

“What do you usually do on weekends?” Arabella asked, looking up at him.

“Before I met you, I worked.”

After meeting her, he spent his days daydreaming about her, hoping for more time to spend with her.

Just then, someone spotted Romeo carrying Arabella towards the exit. Bathed in sunlight, they looked

stunning together, their heights, their aura, they were like a match made in heaven.

“Look at her, and she’s so lucky. Being carried by her boyfriend.”

“So sweet. I wish I had a boyfriend who’d carry me like that.”

“Get real, and you don’t even have a boyfriend!”

“I have a boyfriend, but he wouldn’t carry me in front of so many people. He’d feel embarrassed.”

“Good boyfriends are always other people’s. So envious!”

“Doesn’t that guy look familiar? I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere.”

“Now that you mention it, he does ring a bell, but where have I seen him.”

Romeo placed Arabella in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and handed her a water bottle.

“Drink this for now, and I’ll take you to get something else later.”

Arabella looked at the expensive water sourced from thousands of feet below the Hawaiian sea,

desalinated, beneficial for both health and skin. And he was calling it ‘for now‘?

Meanwhile.

Zachary dropped Yolanda at home at the Murphy family, then went to his parents to spill the beans.

“Yoli and I have slept together, so we must go through with the engagement party. I need to take

responsibility!”

Upon hearing the news, Zachary’s mother hit the roof, “How could I give birth to such a fool! Can’t you

see? That girl is using you, and she’s leading you by the nose!”

Zachary cut her off impatiently, “Mom! Your prejudice against Yoli is deep–rooted! You have no idea

how kind she is! She offered to break off the engagement to save me from a pickle. Every word in the

breakup letter was to protect our dignity! She left me, not wanting a house, money, any compensation,

just a rose symbolizing the past!”

What a kind, pure–hearted person would demand.
