Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
They arrived at the garage.
Having finally met her beloved daughter-in-law, Jennifer was in an even better mood than before.
“I’ll text you when we get home. Be careful on the road, and call me if anything happens.”
Mirabella nodded, “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye, my sweet girl!” Jennifer patted her head and got in the Car.
Serena watched with genuine envy, then got into Clark’s car and went back to Reflections Villa with Mirabella.
That night, Clark wiggled his phone mysteriously, smiling, “Bella, Serena’s gone out with her friends.
I’ve got two movie tickets. How about we go watch a movie? I heard it’s really good.”
“I’ve already made plans.”
“What? You’ve got a date? With whom? A guy or a girl? Right now? What for?”
No sooner had Clark finished speaking than a servant announced, “Ms. Bella, Mr. McMillan is waiting for you outside”
“OK” Mirabella glanced at Clark, “I’m leaving now, Clark.”
“Hey, wait!”
Seeing his sister’s retreating figure, Clark felt a pang of unease and quickly followed her.
From afar, he saw a man patting Mirabella’s head, seemingly whispering sweet nothings to her.
“Hands off my sister! Did you even wash your hands? She just washed her hair tonight!”
Just as Romeo looked up, Clark pulled his sister behind him.
“Do you always treat women like this, Mr. McMillan? Touching them without permission?”
“Clark, you are back.” Romeo seemed unfazed, “Bella is my fiancée.”
He had only patted her head. Was that too much?
“Whether she’s your fiancée or not, the ink hasn’t even dried yet!”
Clark said this, and then turned to his sister to ask quietly, “Are you going out with him? Are you two officially dating? Is he reliable?”
Although he had heard that the two of them were in love, he hadn’treally considered Romeo’s character as a brother.
Whether or not his sister’s lifelong happiness was worth entrusting to such a man depended on his performance!
“Don’t worry, Clark, he’s absolutely reliable.”
Clark looked at the man in front of him, who was smiling with the warmth of a jade, and couldn’t help but feel that he wasn’t reliable at all.
“What are you guys going to do?” Clark turned back to ask the girl behind him.
“To watch a movie.”
Suddenly, Clark was filled with jealousy, “Which one? I want to come too!”
Romeo and Mirabella were both speechless.
“Bella, you’re still young and can’t judge people clearly,’ Clark said softly to the girl in front of him. “Take me with you. I’ll keep an eye on things for you. If he’s really good to you, I’ll agree with both hands!”
He was afraid that Romeo was only interested in the novelty, or had other motives.
He couldn’t let his sister stake her lifelong happiness on a fleeting romance.
In the end, Mirabella had no choice but to bring him along due to Clark’s persistence.
In the car.
Clark, sitting in the back seat, noticed Romeo occasionally glancing at the passenger seat, and couldn’t help but say, “Keep your eyes on the road.”What was he looking at his sister for?
“Clark, the road is not as good-looking as Bella.” Romeo looked at the girl in the passenger seat again, and during a red light, he took out a bottle of lemonade, unscrewed the cap and handed it over.
He seemed to have done this countless times.
But Clark immediately snatched it away, “Bella can’t drink cold stuff”
“This is at room temperature.”
“Room temperature is not OK either!” After saying this, Clark opened his own shoulder bag and took out a lollipop. He tore open the wrapper and handed it over, “Here, Bella, this is for you.”
This was what girls should eat!
Mirabella took the item and said, “Clark.”
“Hey, you feeling thirsty or hungry? Besides candy, what else do you want to eat? I’ve got a whole pantry in bag.” Clark was always prepared for anything.
“Give me back that bottle of lemonade you took.”
“This one?” Clark glanced at the bottle in his hand, a little reluctant to part with it. “It’s sour as hell. Do you really like it?”
“I do’
“Well, I will get you more next time.”
Romeo thought, “Didn’t you say she couldn’t drink room-temperature beverages?”
“No need.” Mirabella said gently, “Romeo has plenty.”
“We don’t need his stuff.”
Mirabella and Romeo exchanged a glance, trying to suppress their laughter. Was Clark not the cutest?
On the way to the cinema, Clark led the way, his handsome face serving as a barrier between the two of them.
“I’m on leave recently. If you guys want to go somewhere or do something, just call me.’
Mirabella chuckled, “Sure.”“Don’t be polite with me. After all, we’re family.” Clark said, shooting a glance at Romeo, who was driving. Romeo bring a tad more handsome didn’t mean he was any better.
Upon reaching the cinema’s parking lot, Clark unbuckled Mirabella’s seat belt and opened the car door for her, shielding her head with his hand. “Easy now, be careful.”
As soon as Mirabella got out of the car, before Romeo could take her hand, Clark had switched places with Mirabella, placing himself between them, and even held onto the hem of his sister’s dress.
“The mall is huge. Stick with me, so you won’t get lost.”
Romeo was speechless.
At the cinema, Romeo went to collect the tickets while Clark asked Mirabella what she wanted to eat.
Seeing that she was not picky, he bought one of everything the concession stand sold.
“I have got it all. Whatever you want to eat, just take it. Here, hold onto my shirt and follow me.” With his hands full, Clark couldn’t hold onto her dress.
The cinema was packed that day. When Romeo returned with the tickets, he told Clark, “Sorry, I couldn’t get seats together. You’ll have to sit in the back row.”
Upon hearing this, Clark was not having it.
He handed all the food to Romeo and went to the front desk, only to find out that there was indeed only one seat left. Clark then approached a couple seated near Mirabella and somehow managed to convince them to swap their tickets with him!
Having secured a seat next to Mirabella, Clark smirked at Romeo.Romeo was again speechless.
Finally, the movie started. Clark held up a soda straw for Mirabella to sip from, then put on disposable gloves, and offered her some popcorn.
“Clark, I can eat by myself.”
It was a bit embarrassing to be fed by Clark at her age.
Clark seemed to have expected this, so he handed her a pair of disposable gloves. He alternated between offering her popcorn and hot dogs.
He even took out his phone to take a selfie of just the two of them, and sent it to all their siblings.
Each picture was attached with the same caption: Watching a movie alone with sis! She’s so well-
behaved and obedient. She is such a sweetheart.
Hans: [No way, Bella doesn’t seem like the type to act cute.]
Chasel: [Romeo’s there, isn’t he? I can see his hand.]
David: [Clark, you’re shameless. Clearly, Romeo is there with you, yet you claim you’re alone. I knew Bella would never watch a movie alone with you! You’re so cheeky!]
Upon seeing their comments, Clark was puzzled. How did they know Romeo was there?
