Who knew what kind of things that guy would be into?
The next day, before the crack of dawn, Serena was already up and getting dolled up. She deliberately
chose a black cami dress; her hair was piled high on her head, exuding an aura of elegance and
dignity
“Serena, you’re drop–dead gorgeous!” Martha said, helping her put on a dazzling necklace. “You’re
way prettier than Ms. Bennett in this getup.”
“Martha, don’t sugarcoat it, I know I’m not as pretty as my sister.”
Even when Arabella was dressed down, her aura and her pretty face outshone everyone else.
Martha’s expression froze for a moment before she laughed and added, “Miss Serena, your features
are bold and striking, just like someone from a well–off family should
be”
“Do you think Romeo will like what I’m wearing today?” Serena looked at herself in the mirror; her skin
was delicate, her brows were clear and bright, and she was noble and elegant
Martha sincerely admired her beauty: “If I were Mr. McMillan, I would have been totally smitten by now!
Miss Serena, be confident; you’ll definitely be the belle of the ball!” Just then, Holly knocked on the
door and said, “Miss Serena, Mr. McMillan is here. Ms. Bella hasn’t woken up yet, and the lady of the
house is still asleep. Would you like to go down and greet him first?”
Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t contain her excitement. She hurriedly touched up her make–up and
went downstairs ahead of everyone else.
Romeo wanted to see his crush early, so he arrived forty minutes early. He told Edith not to wake
anyone up; let them sleep in.
When Serena came downstairs, she saw him sitting on the sofa. His aloof demeanor combined with his
dignified figure made him unspeakably handsome..
“Romeo, why are you so early? My sister isn’t an early riser.” Serena approached with a smile. “Shall I
pour you a glass of milk?”
“No need.”
“You mustn’t have eaten anything yet since you came out so early. Have some milk first.”
Just as Serena was about to head to the kitchen, she heard him say, “No need; I’ll wait for Bella.”
Serena’s smile froze on her face, but she quickly said, “If you’re waiting for my sister, why not take a
stroll in the garden instead of just sitting here? You haven’t been here in a while. We’ve planted some
new varieties in the garden. See if there’s anything Grandpa Phillip might like and take some back for
him.”
“No need.”
“The air in the garden is great; it can bring good vibes for the whole day. It’s still early; I’ll accompany
you for a stroll.:
“I’d rather be alone.”
Romeo’s intention was clear, but Serena suddenly squatted down and gently touched his knee.
“Romeo, ever since my sister came back, you’ve been colder towards me.” Before she could finish,
Romeo shifted uncomfortably and said, “Please behave yourself.”
Serena’s hand fell empty; her heart ached. “I know you like Arabella, but it wouldn’t hurt to talk to me!
She’s so broad–minded, she wouldn’t mind. Besides, we’re not doing anything, just chatting.”
In other words, if Arabella minded them chatting, it would mean she was petty and narrow–minded.
Seeing her trying to get close again, Romeo’s gaze turned icy. “But I do mind, Miss Lisa; please
respect yourself.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to have anything to do with her, Serena looked at Martha in the distance.
Martha gave her a hint with her eyes, and Serena touched his leg again. This time, Romeo immediately
stood up, looking down at her and saying, “Enough.”
