Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Mirabella was admiring the view when Romeo handed her a gift.
“Take a look.” His gaze was soft.
Mirabella opened the box to find a beautiful diamond bracelet.
The centerpiece was a butterfly ready to take flight, symbolizing transformation and rebirth. On either side of the butterfly were 99 diamonds of equal size, closely linked together.
The bracelet was unique and exuded elegant luxury, showcasing a woman’s unique charm.
Looking at the dazzling bracelet, she noticed the initials R&A FOREVER‘ engraved on the clasp.
Did this mean he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her?
“Do you like it?” Romeo watched her reaction, saying gently, “It would look beautiful on your lovely hand.”
“Why did you give me this?”
“Because I like you.” Do I need any more reason?
If she insisted on a reason, it was because he was inspired by her beautiful collarbone, which looked like a lifelike butterfly during a blackout at his grandfather’s house.
He designed this bracelet himself and personally supervised its crafting by a master jeweler.
Among all the production lines he managed, he had never supervised one personally. This girl broke his routine.
“You accepted my grandmother’s necklace, so naturally, you should accept my gift. No playing favorites.”
Romeo didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He took the bracelet and put it on her delicate wrist.
Its novel design and fine craftsmanship made it even more luxurious and elegant when worn.
Romeo revealed a doting smile, “It looks beautiful.”
No one else could pull off this look. Even his top jewelry spokesperson couldn’t give him the satisfaction and awe he felt at this moment.
His girl was so beautiful.
She looked good without the bracelet, even more so with it on.
A waiter serving dishes nearby couldn’t help but steal glances at Mirabella. With her top–notch beauty and fresh aura, it’s no wonder she caught Romeo’s favor…
But what was her background? She accepted such a precious gift without any reaction…
She would have been crying joyfully if it were an ordinary girl.
This girl must be extraordinary if she could make Romeo show such a doting gaze and carefully cherish her.
“Thank you.” Mirabella calmly picked up her knife and fork and started eating her steak.
Romeo smiled, “Let me cut it for you.”
He cut the steak into pieces, put them on her plate, and, with a gentle voice, said, “Eat more.”
Her phone vibrated a few times. She took it out, which was a message from her assistant Dean.
[Boss, about the company cafeteria… could you please pay some attention to it?]
[The food here usually tastes so–so, but recently it has a weird taste!]
[Even though I rarely go to the cafeteria, I’ve heard grumbles from the staff about it for a while now]
Dean also attached a picture, adding [Mr. Oscar’s relative runs this cafeteria, charging us a whole buck per meal!]
Mirabella’s slender fingers typed back, “Looks like the food is kinda meh.”
[The food has been okay these past few days! The kitchen staff knows you’re shaking up the company, so we even got fish soup for lunch today! Take a look.]
Dean sent over another picture.
Mirabella looked at the color of the soup, “Something’s off about the color.”
[Huh? What? Boss, don’t freak me out… isn’t fish soup supposed to be white?]
Mirabella zoomed in on the picture, then looked at the other foods Dean captured, replying, “Save me some samples of everything. I’ll check it out when I get back.”
Dean felt his appetite vanish at her words!
Romeo noticed she was continuously replying to messages, “Busy? Something up at the company?”
“A bit Mirabella finished her meal, planning to return to the company cafeteria to check things out, “Let’s head back.”
She had barely stood up and taken a few steps before Romeo pulled her back into his arms.
“It’s still early.” Romeo gazed at her beautiful profile, “Stay with me a bit longer.”
Mirabella was a bit exasperated. Hadn’t she already accompanied him for lunch? Wasn’t that enough?
“I want you with me.” Romeo held her tighter, breathing in her scent, “I miss you. Seeing you makes me want to be with you. I hope you can always be by my side.” The two waitstaff and the restaurant manager who overheard were quite surprised…
Is the notoriously cold and ruthless Romeo whispering sweet nothings to a girl? Had they misheard, or were the rumors wrong?
“People are watching.” Mirabella’s tone was a mix of helplessness and annoyance. This man seemed to be getting clingier, and his words blunter.
Romeo glanced around. The restaurant manager and the two waitstaff immediately turned around, daring not to stare at them any longer.
“Bella.” Romeo’s arms tightened around the girl before him, his voice seductive, “I want to do everything couples do.“.
Mirabella was speechless.
“I want to do it many times.”
“I don’t have time.” Mirabella had been so bothered by him lately that she could hardly get any private work done.
“I can wait for you to finish.” Romeo predicted her refusal by gently saying, “Wait until you’re free to be with me.”
The Ferris wheel slowly reached its peak, Mirabella’s eyes filled with the beautiful cityscape, but all she could hear was, “I like you.”
This was the first time Romeo had said “I like you” since they met.
She was a bit taken aback. Before she could react, he continued, “I like holding you like this. I like being with you. I like you as you are, regardless of your temperament or looks. I like it all.”
Carl checked the time, planning to pick up Mr. McMillian and Ms. Bella.
But as he opened the door, he saw three people making strange faces at him, seemingly telling him not to interrupt Mr. McMillian’s romantic moment.
Carl vaguely heard Romeo’s confession, and he couldn’t believe it, looking at the two entwined figures not far away…
“Mirabella, I like you.” Romeo gently kissed her cheek.
Mirabella could feel her cheeks getting warm, her body feeling a bit hot. A strange sensation surged in her heart, was it…falling in love?
If not, then why was her heartbeat accelerating?
“I hope to be with you every day.” Romeo held her close, his handsome face gently rubbing against her delicate one-
Mirabella didn’t reject this intimacy and didn’t push him away, but after a while, she calmly said, “We should get going.”
It was getting late.
