Chapter 89
After dinner, Phillip took Bella on a tour around, finally reaching the top floor for a distant view.
“Now it’s getting dark and you can’t see the view very clearly. But during the day, you can see beautiful
flowers, streams, and distant mountains. Bella, you should definitely come and check it out when you
have the time.” Phillip said.
“Sure.” Bella glanced at the time, her voice gentle, “It’s getting late, I should head back.
“Don’t leave.” Phillip was a bit reluctant, “Can you stay a bit longer?”
“I’ll come to see you next time.” Arabella said.
Seeing Bella about to leave, Phillip quickly signaled to his butler, Brodie, who immediately understood
his intentions and discreetly ordered the servants to prepare.
Just as Bella reached the first floor living room, led by Romeo, all the lights in the villa suddenly went
out.
“What’s going on?” Phillip feigned ignorance, “Why is there a power outage all of a sudden?”
“Weird, we’ve lived here for years and have never encountered this situation before! Let me go check
what’s wrong. Hang tight, I’ll be right back.” Brodie said,
Brodie played dumb and quickly went downstairs.
“Romeo, take Bella to the sofa for a while.” Phillip then ordered a servant nearby, “Go find some
candles and emergency lights.”
“Sir, didn’t you collect some really nice emergency lights before?” A servant asked pretentiously.
“That’s right, you guys go look for them.” Phillip also found an excuse to leave.
The living room was left with just Romeo and Bella.
Romeo smiled. The villa clearly had a backup generator. So even if the power went out, there wouldn’t
be complete darkness. Was the old man deliberately making a chance for them to be alone?
Bella waited for a long time and checked the time, “It’s already half past eight. Let’s go.”
If she stayed too late, her parents would worry.
Romeo pulled her into his arms, “It’s still early. Stay with me a little longer.”
“I’ve been with you for a long time already today.” Arabella said.
“Just a few hours, not enough.” Romeo held her even tighter, “I want to stay a little longer.”
Bella was speechless. Why was he so clingy?! He used to be so cold.
“Let go of me. What if grandpa sees.” Arabella said.
“He’ll be even happier if he sees us.” Romeo said.
Upstairs.
Brodie saw Phillip coming up and quickly whispered, “Sir, over here!”
Phillip hurried over, squeezed next to him to look downstairs, “How’s it going, any progress?”
“They’re just chatting, no substantial progress.” Brodie said.
“Romeo, you blockhead! It’s so dark in the room, why isn’t he kissing her?” Phillip thought for a
moment, “Is the atmosphere not romantic enough? Have someone take those petal lights and LED
candles down there.”
“Alright.” Brodie said.
Soon, the living room was decorated with beautiful petal lights and LED candles on the tables,
suddenly creating a romantic ambiance.
“Hold on.” Arabella stopped a servant who was setting up candles, “Tell my grandfather, I’m ready to
leave.”
Faced with this sudden situation, the servant was a bit flustered, “Miss, the entire house is out of
power, could you wait a bit longer before leaving?”
“It’s already too late. I need to go.” Arabella said:
“But, the front door is locked. You can’t get out.” The servant said.
Arabella was puzzled at this.
“Each door is a special electronic smart door. If there’s a power outage, the doors can’t be opened.”
The servant said.
“Don’t these doors have USB ports? You can just use a power bank to charge it.” Arabella offered a
solution.
