Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Louisa recounted in detail about the hospital fire, then said, “We only recently found Mirabella, and haven’t yet announced her identity to the public. Mirabella’s grandparents still don’t know about this, we didn’t mean to keep you or the McMillian family in the dark.”
Romeo was shocked.
Car Was shocked, too.
Louisa knew that at this stage, it was impossible to keep things a secret, so she said, “Edith, go ask Mirabella down.”
Carl looked at Mrs. Collins, then at Romeo, what’s going on? Romeo’s fiancee isn’t Miss Serena, but Miss Mirabella??
Then this wedding… should be called off even more.
Romeo wouldn’t even accept the highly accomplished Miss Serena he knows, let alone some girl he doesn’t know from a small village.
Miss Serena is top–notch in both talent and looks, and has been praised by the big shots in the capital.
But Miss Mirabella…
Romeo’s gaze deepened, as if he was thinking about something.
Having just finished her shower, Mirabella came downstairs when she heard her mom calling for her, without giving it a second thought.
She entered the room dressed in a thin nightgown, her hair bunched up in a ball, instantly catching everyone’s attention.
Carl’s jaw dropped when he saw that the woman was none other than Miss Mirabella.
Was she the biological daughter the Collins family had just found??
Romeo’s eyes lifted slightly, a hint of curiosity in his gaze.
Was it her?
Was she the real daughter of the Collins family?
Mirabella had just come downstairs when she spotted Romeo on the sofa. His handsome face, eyes gleaming slightly, and a hint of a smile on his lips.
How did this man end up in her house? Mirabella’s eyes showed her confusion, “Mom, did you call me?”
“Come, Bella, sit with me.” Louisa gently guided her daughter to sit down, saying, “Let me introduce, this is Romeo. Years ago, our family, the Collins, and the McMillian made a marriage pact. So technically, Romeo is your fiancé…”
Mirabella was totally confused and shocked.
What???
Fiancé???
What era is this? There’s still such thing as a marriage pact???
“This is our biological daughter we just found, Mirabella Collins,” Louisa introduced to Romeo..
Romeo’s gaze, softened slightly. So it was her. He didn’t expect she was from the Collins family.
Carl also suddenly realized:” So Miss Mirabella is from the Collins family…”
No wonder she dared to help save people in the hospital, and dared to kick Susana on her knees……. Turned out she had a powerful background! Serena was eavesdropping from the second floor, initially thinking Romeo came to see her because of his grandpa’s matter!
She didn’t expect he was here for Mirabella!
Her nails dug deep into her palm, a bit angry. Why did this Mirabella have to show up!
Why did Mirabella have to come back to this family!
Why did she have to snatch everything that belonged to her?
“So Mr. McMillian is here today, to?” Mirabella looked at the man in front of her, not understanding his purpose.
Romeo looked at the girl’s bright and clear eyes, smiling, “I heard that my fiancée just returned to her family, so I brought a little gift to visit.”
Carl’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Romeo.
Mr. McMillian, weren’t you here to break off the engagement?
How did it turn into a visit?
Was it because the person of the marriage pact was Miss Mirabella, so you changed your mind?:
You changed your mind too fast!
Although the outside world rumored Romeo to be cold–blooded, cruel and brutal, Louisa was very pleased with his character after getting to know him over the years. She knew this man was down–to–earth, capable, and responsible.
Regardless of anything else, just looking at his looks, wealth, and ability, he was the best of the best, unmatched by anyone else.
If Bella could marry him… her later life would definitely be happy and worry–free.
Mirabella never imagined that the man in front of her would be her fiancé…
“My grandpa wants to see you.” Romeo looked at Mirabella, his magnetic voice gentle yet bewitching, “When are you free so we can go see him together?”
“If you’re uneasy going as my fiancée, you can just show some care on behalf of the Collins family,” Romeo added.
“What a great idea!” Kenneth hadn’t expected Romeo to be so smart.
“Yeah, you show some affection on behalf of the Collins family…” Louisa echoed.
Mirabella thought,” So no one was asking for my opinion?”
“Bella, you should visit Phillip tomorrow then. You’ve been home for two days, it’s about time.”
After all, they were the ones who proposed the marriage, and Romeo is quite the catch.
That old man was still in the hospital, and it was said that his condition isn’t looking good… As a younger generation, she should pay a visit, showing some affection.
“Yeah, that’s right, go pay a visit,” Kenneth said with a grin, “Bring some gifts…”
“No need for gifts, just your presence is enough,” Romeo’s voice was clear.
“No, no, no, it’s our first meeting. We can’t skip the courtesy!” Kenneth insisted.
“Leave it to me then, Romeo gently looked at Mirabella, “We’ll arrange the specific time later?”
Seeing the hopeful looks from her parents, Mirabella finally agreed, “Alright.”
She’ll just check on Phillip’s recovery. After all, she did accept his blank cheque a few days ago.
Romeo casually said a few words before saying, “I won’t bother you guys anymore.”
“Are you leaving so soon? Romeo, you’ve brought so many gifts, this is…”
Before Louisa could finish her sentence, Romeo said, “Just a small token, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Bella, see Romeo out!”
Mirabella was speechless.
Why did she have to see him out?!
“No need, Miss Collins, please stay.”
Seeing the faint smile on Romeo’s lips, Mirabella raised an eyebrow. Was he annoyed that she only told him her first name and not her family name? Actually, she had only taken on this family name for two days, and she was still getting used to it.
“Get some rest, my fiancée.”
Fiancée? When did she agree to that??
Kenneth and Louisa were over the moon when they heard him!
It seems that Romeo is quite satisfied with Bella… This development is beyond their expectations!
Upstairs, Serena couldn’t hold back anymore and ran downstairs. In a place where no one could see her, she dashed towards the garden path, “Romeo…”
Seeing Serena rushing over, Carl immediately blocked her way, “Miss Serena, what’s wrong?”
Looking at Romeo’s retreating figure, Serena was in great agony, “Romeo, it was indeed my fault that your grandpa’s condition worsened. I feel really guilty… Thank you for not embarrassing me in front of my parents just now…”
Carl Was speechless.
Mr. McMillian just didn’t take you seriously, it’s not like he was deliberately not embarrassing this Miss Serena….
“I heard that your grandpa’s condition is not good, I want to go see him. When you pick up my sister tomorrow, can you take me with you?”
“No need,” There was a hint of coldness in Romeo’s eyes, “Grandpa wants to see my fiancée.”
He don’t want to see you.
Serena didn’t expect him to reject her, so directly.. Her heart ached, but she clung on to a faint hope. “I don’t have to go as your fiancee, I could go as a representative of the Collins family… Romeo, can I please apologize to grandpa?”
She looked at Romeo hopefully, wishing he’d say yes.
But Romeo was icy, his gaze cold.
“Only my fiancee can represent the Collins family.”
