Chapter 83
Yolanda was green with jealousy. She sneered, “They’ve been inside for so long, who knows what
they’re up to. They’re up to no good, are they?” “Yoli” Olga got the drift. Phillip’s bodyguard was up
ahead. If he overheard, it would only cause more trouble for the Murphy family!
Yolanda bit her lower lip, watching their retreating figures with a sullen look.
How great it would be if she were with Phillip.
About fifteen minutes later.
The car pulled up in front of a serene and elegant villa.
This was Phillip’s residence, sprawling over tens of thousands of square meters.
The villa boasted a European–style design with classic elements like Roman columns and French
doors, complemented by a sophisticated white exterior paint, exuding an air of opulence.
“Bella, we’re home!” Phillip called out cheerfully, “Let’s sit in the yard. fill have coffee prepared. Any
afternoon tea you fancy? I’ll have it made on–the–spot.” “No need, Grandpa, Arabella smiled softly and
politely declined, “I still have work to do, so I won’t be going in.”
Phillip’s excitement deflated, “You’re leaving?”
“Ms. Bennett, you’re already at the doorstep, why not take the day off?” Brodie also took a shine to her
and tried to persuade her to stay, “Come in, rest a bit, have some coffee and food?”
“I have things to deal with at the office, Arabella replied gently, “Maybe next time.”
“When do you finish work? I’ll have Romeo pick you up.” Phillip was reluctant but didn’t want to
interfere with her work, “Come dine with me tonight, we can have a
chat.”
“Phillip’s not fully recovered, he needs Ms. Bennett to check” Brodie started to say, then quickly gave
Phillip a meaningful look
“Oh, my heart.” Phillip immediately started acting, “Bella, can you check on me again tonight? I feel a
bit uncomfortable here.”
Arabella saw through his exaggerated and poor acting but chose not to expose him, she just smiled,
“Alright”
“Fantastic! What do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it Phillip said, then realizing he was
getting overly excited, he faked a cough, his voice weak, s there anything you can’t eat?”
“I can eat anything,” Arabella’s eyes were bright, and she said, “Don’t prepare too much”
“Okay!” Phillip was as happy as a kid, TIl send you to the office first After work, come over with
Romeo”
“Okay”
Once Arabella left, Phillip immediately perked up, grinning, “So, how did I do just now?
Brodie made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, “A bit over the top
“Really?” Phillip locked at the direction the car was leaving. Till pay more attention to my acting next
time.”
Once inside, he dialed Romeo on his phone, sounding determined.
“I don’t care how urgent your matter is, you must pick up Bella after work tonight and come over for
dinner”
“Okay.” Unexpectedly, the man on the other end agreed promptly, without even a half–second of
hesitation.
Phillip was puzzled. Why did he agree so quickly? Did he mishear?
“Im warning you, don’t do anything inappropriate with Bella!”
“She finishes work at five,” Romeo’s deep voice came from the other end, “We’ll be there before six”
In other words, he needed to have dinner ready before six.
Phillip was puzzled again.
