“What do your folks think about us dating?” Hans asked, pretty chill about it.


“My parents are off globe–trotting, they haven’t come back yet.”


Ever since they handed the conglomerate over to Romeo, they were over the moon and scared that


Romeo would back out. They hopped on a plane ASAP and went abroad Normally, they were the ones


who contacted the McMillan family Even Phillip didn’t have a fixed way to contact them.


“My Grandma is still in a coma”


The only one left to make decisions in the McMillan family was Phillip.


“Don’t sweat it, Bella is a great girl, and I’ll cherish her for life. You don’t have to worry about me being


a fickle fellow. I’m not going to change my heart in the future. If I ever do Bella wrong, I’m ready to pay


with my life.”


Seeing that Romeo was a straight shooter, Hans didn’t push him further. “Alright, I’ll take your word for


it. If you treat Bella right, we, the Collins family, will do the same to you. But you dare to do Bella wrong,


to be fickle, or to make her sad, it’s not just me; the whole Collins family will come after you!”


“Okay, you got my word” Romeo bumped fists with him.


Arabella watched this scene from afar inside the car. She knew this was a man–to–man promise. They


must have reached an agreement, most probably concerning


her.


It wasn’t hard to guess what the agreement was about.


“My sister is still young and in school. You’ve got to treat her like a child. Don’t do anything that might


scare her.” Hans was worried that Romeo would do something inappropriate.


But Romeo thought Hans probably didn’t know how wild his sister was. She was the boss of the Mafia


Flame in the triangular zone, with mad skills in using guns. Her agility might even surprise Hans if he


saw it.


“TII keep that in mind.”


“This afternoon I’m taking Bella to visit our grandparents. Shell ride with me! You don’t need to pick her


up!”


Ever since he returned, Bella had only ridden in his car once, which was after the design contest.


Ever since then, Bella had been monopolized by Romeo. Today was finally his turn!


“Sure.”


It’s only natural for brother to be close to his sister.


Hans asked again, “What do you think of Serena?”


The one who used to be engaged to Romeo was Serena Collins. She was a pampered heiress, well–


known in high society.


“I have no thoughts about her.” This was Romeo’s honest answer.


Hans thought so too. If there were any, Romeo would have shown his attentiveness toward Serena


before Bella came back.


But Romeo and Serena didn’t see each other that often growing up. Everyone knew he was really into


his work and didn’t care much about romance.


Bella seemed to be the first girl he openly admitted to liking, and the first one he would personally pick


up and spend quality time with.


Hans knew well about his deep friendship with David Collins. He also knew that David was not one to


be easily fooled. If he had bad character, David wouldn’t have maintained a long–standing friendship


with him.


Thinking about this, Hans turned to look at Romeo and said seriously, “I hope I’m not misjudging you.”


“Rest assured, I won’t let you down.” Romeo replied.


As he saw Hans walking towards his car, Romeo respectfully said, “Take care.”


After Hans left, Romeo got into the car and gently stroked Arabella’s hair, saying, “Sorry to keep you


waiting.”


“What did my brother say to you?” Arabella asked.


“Not much.” Romeo looked at her gently and said, “He asked me to treat you well.”


Arabella had guessed as much.


“He’s taking you to see your grandparents this afternoon?” Although Romeo couldn’t go, he still wanted


to prepare a gift to express his feelings.
