Chapter 28 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Martha, thinking her plan was working, whispered to Serena, “I’ll go prepare the outfit you’ll wear today.”

“I’m riding in Romeo’s car. If you want a ride, go ask him,” Mirabella suddenly said, “Telling me won’t help.”

“Bella… you don’t agree?”

“That’s right.”

Serena looked awkward, surprised by Mirabella’s direct rejection.

After seeing Mirabella finish her breakfast leisurely and leave, Holly was a bit upset, “She’s only known Romeo for a few days? And she’s already using his name to threaten you? She’s so full of herself! Does she really think she’s Romeo’s girlfriend?!”

Serena clenched her teeth, Romeo didn’t want to bring her last night, and now Mirabella didn’t agree…

This country bumpkin was just afraid of her stealing the spotlight, wasn’t she?

‘Ms. Serena, don’t worry. Let her mess

 up and make Phillip unhappy. Then you can visit Phillip. When he compares the two of you, he’ll realize you’re the ideal daughter–in–law!”

Serena twigged it right away. If there was no comparison, no one would know how bad Mirabella was and how great she was!

Martha was right. Let this country bumpkin have a taste of reality. She needed to know that Phillip was always the leader, and would never respect such narrow–minded people!

“Don’t bother me for lunch.”

Mirabella ordered the servant who was working on her way upstairs, locked herself in her room, and hit the hay!

She was really tired because she stayed up all night writing, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on her pillow. When Kenneth and Louisa woke up and heard their darling daughter was skipping lunch, they immediately summoned the chef, “Did breakfast not sit well with Bella?”

Daniel felt wronged, “Ms. Bennett left because of what Serena said, not because of the breakfast…”

“Serena?” Kenneth and Louisa were taken aback, then hastily asked, “What did Serena say?”

“Serena didn’t really say anything, just wanted Ms. Bennett to take her to see Phillip, but Ms. Bennett didn’t agree…”

Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances and immediately said, “Go fetch Serena.”

When Serena was summoned, she didn’t expect Mirabella would tattle to her parents over such a small matter. She was already a grown woman but acted like a child refusing to eat. Serena was instantly ticked off! –

But she tried to put on a pitiful face on the outside, pretending to be wronged.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t say anything excessive to my sister. just asked her if she could take me with her…Phillip missed me and has been texting me to visit him. I couldn’t go because of exams…”

Serena saw their dubious faces and immediately took out her phone to show the chat history.

“I also had free time only today, so I thought we could go together…”

Louisa didn’t expect the truth to be this. It seemed they read too much into it. How could Serena compete with Bella for her fiancé?!

They made a mistake!

Mirabella had no idea what happened in the morning. When she woke up, the clock was already pointing to one in the afternoon.

She simply washed and changed her clothes, and as soon as she opened the door, she heard a noise downstairs. “Romeo, you brought so many gifts for Bella last night, and today you brought us these gifts… Thank you so much, but no need for those gifts next time. We’re all family, no need for gifts. You even prepared gifts for Bella to meet your grandfather… We can’t possibly accept this! We’ve had the gifts prepared, and we can’t cost you money this time!”

Mirabella was puzzled when she heard this.

Romeo was here?

Didn’t they agree to meet at the front door?

How did he get in?

“No worries, Bella is my fiancée, I should prepare her meeting gifts.”

Romeo just finished speaking when he noticed Mirabella descending the stairs. Her long and thin legs, dressed in casual clothes, probably didn’t get enough sleep, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of impatience.

She was kind of cute like this.

“Bella, are you awake? You must be hungry at this time, right?” Kenneth and Louisa hurriedly asked, “Have something to eat before you go, the food is ready.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Mirabella just wanted to rush to the hospital to complete the necessary procedures, then come back to deal with work. Tomorrow was Monday, she had to go to the company her father gave her. She didn’t have much time for personal matters.

But Louisa was worried she might be hungry, “The food in the kitchen is ready! You can try to eat a bit, since Romeo’s here, you can eat together.”

“Right, Romeo usually eats at the company, maybe he didn’t get enough, you two can eat together.”

In this way, the two of them had something to eat before they left.

On the other side.

Phillip was constantly checking himself in the mirror, “Brodie, see if my hair is messy, if my clothes are neat…”

When Phillip heard that he was meeting his grandson’s fiancee today, he was beside himself with excitement.

The butler was a bit helpless, “Sir, you’ve checked yourself in the mirror a bazillion times. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were getting ready to see your own wife…”

*You shut up!” Phillip put away the mirror and hurried him, “Go check if they’ve arrived yet.”

“I already told Carl, they’ll text me when they’re on their way.”

Just as the butler finished speaking, his phone buzzed with a new message!

It was from Carl.

They were about to set off, they would be at the hospital in ten minutes.

“Hurry up, go greet them!” Phillip was beyond excited, urging the butler, “What are you standing there for, get a move on!”

Inside the luxurious car.

Mirabella was a little sleepy, and as the car jostled along, she gradually closed her eyes.

“Sir, up ahead is…”

Before Carl could finish speaking, he heard Romeo whisper, “Hush.”

Carl looked in the rearview mirror and realized that Miss Mirabella had fallen asleep.

When the car slowly came to a stop, Mirabella’s head tilted to one side, and Romeo gently caught her face.

Her face was soft and smooth, like that of a well–behaved child. Even without makeup, she was indescribably beautiful. She was flawless.

Romeo’s gaze traced her features, he moved closer to her, offering his shoulder for her to sleep more comfortably.

Carl’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, wasn’t the boss a clean freak? He was actually getting close to a woman…

This was simply unthinkable!

The butler waiting outside the car was so shocked!

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. Romeo was really offering his shoulder to a girl, looking at her with a doting gaze he had never seen before…

Did the boss have feelings for this girl?

Who was this girl?

Mirabella didn’t know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping on Romeo’s shoulder.

The car was already parked in the hospital garage.

“Did I fall asleep?”

She looked at the clock in the car and realized she had been leaning on his shoulder for so long, “Sorry, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Did you sleep late last night?” Romeo’s tone was not the least bit reproachful, but rather gentle, “I wanted to let you sleep a bit more.”

“Since Miss Mirabella is awake, sir, you can go ahead, I’ll catch up with the gifts.”

“Alright.”

Just as Carl was about to fetch the gifts, he heard Mirabella say, “I’ve prepared the gifts.

He was stunned, and like Romeo, surprised. However, he couldn’t help but scrutinize Mirabella.

She didn’t even have a bag. Where’s the gift?!

“Sir, are you really not going to take the gifts you prepared?” Carl was a bit puzzled.

“Listen to Mirabella.”

Romeo stood by Mirabella’s side, the two of them walking side by side down the street, their stunning appearances attracting countless stares.

In the ward.

Phillip had been waiting a long time, and finally saw two people entering.

“Grandpa, Bella and I are here to visit you,” said Romeo.
