Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Stay with me today. Tomorrow’s a day off, right? Stay with me then, too!” Romeo didn’t give her a chance to reject. He continued, “Can’t you give me some perks?
Mirabella knew what he was implying. He had been hinting at it since she started college. He wanted her to stay over at his place, didn’t he?
“You can’t cross the line.”
“I know, don’t worry.” Romeo gently stroked her face, the face he had been longing for. Now he finally had a chance to touch it, he wanted to do so a little longer.
“Remove your hand.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time.” He was reluctant to let go.
Mya was walking ahead and suddenly realized Mirabella wasn’t keeping up. She turned around and was utterly surprised. The usually aloof and arrogant Romeo gently stroked Mirabella’s face, like he was flirting?
Wow, this scene was just too cozy for words.
It was hard to believe that this distinguished gentleman showed such affection for a girl. It was like something straight out of a fairy tale.
Mya thought about her past, and her gaze became downcast.
Romeo was caressing Mirabella’s soft and adorable cheeks, releasing her only after a while. Then he took her hand and started walking towards the dormitory.
Apparently, President Barton had built a brand–new dormitory just to keep Mirabella comfortable
Mirabella asked, “Why are you here today?”
Romeo looked at her, “Remember your dad was talking about buying the land in the university town and building a shopping complex for you to play around?” Mirabella did recall something like that, “But I already rejected that idea, didn’t I?”
“Yes, and that’s why I bought it. I came here today to check it out.”
Mirabella was taken aback. This time, she got duped by her fiancé, not her dad.
“I’ve hired a construction team. They’re super quick. They’ll have–it built–in less than a year. It’ll be there for anything you want to eat, shop, or play.”
Mirabella smiled, “Aren’t you worried I’ll get absorbed and forget about you?”
“I’ll just keep showing up like today until you remember me.” Romeo’s eyes were full of love.
Mirabella chuckled, “You’re so childish.”
“Do you prefer me to be childish or mature?”
Mirabella said, “When have you ever acted mature in front of me?”
Carl, who was standing nearby, chimed in, “Ms. Bella, you might not know this, but men only act like kids in front of the one they love the most. This just shows that you’re Mr. McMillian’s favorite person, which is why you’ve never seen his mature side.”
“Shut up.” Romeo seemed a bit annoyed.
Carl was surprised that Romeo rejected his good intentions and was upset.
Mirabella turned to Romeo, asking with interest, “The one you love the most?”
“Don’t you feel it?” Romeo leaned in, “Looks like we’ve been apart for too long. You’ve forgotten your place in my heart.”
“This is school.”
The next moment, Romeo pulled down his mask and gently kissed her forehead.
Carl quickly glanced around. Luckily, no one was on this narrow path they were walking on, or else if anyone saw them, Ms. Bella would be harassed again. Joyce turned her head and saw Romeo bending down gentlemanly to kiss Mirabella’s forehead. The affection and tenderness in his eyes seemed reserved for Mirabella alone.
“Wow!” she exclaimed excitedly, “They’re so sweet.”
It felt like they were watching a movie!!
The surroundings seemed to have become their backdrop, and they looked like the protagonists in a movie.
If only Carl were not there, it would have been perfect.
“You’ll get used to it.” Kelly dragged them forward. It was a miracle that Romeo could hold on for so many days.
Romeo put his mask back on, revealing his handsome eyes, and continued walking hand in hand with Mirabella.
“There seemed to be a fair few boys that who like you, are there any you like?”
Mirabella answered with a teasing tone, “A couple, indeed.”
“A couple??” Romeo immediately asked, green–eyed, “Who are they? Spill the beans.
He promised he wouldn’t lay a hand on them, or else he’d pack his bags and leave the school the same day.
Mirabella already predicted his reaction, and she added laughing, “A few are pretty annoying. The rest are okay.”
“Okay? What do you mean by that? They’re not too shabby to look at? They’ve got decent personalities? Or do they have boyfriend potential?”
Mirabella couldn’t help but laugh, Relax, Im not interested in them.”
“If you dare to have a change of heart. I’ll break their legs, whoever you like, ‘It hit.”
“You sure are fierce.”
“I can be gentle too, as long as you’re willing to stick with me for life. Never betraying me, got it?”
“But what if you have a change of heart?”
“I’m not that kind of person. You alone are enough for me to love wholeheartedly. Where would I have the time to think about others?” Romeo held her hand the whole time, his tone full of affection, “Try to spend more time with me in the future, okay?”
“Depends”
“Then I’ll take that as a yes”
Romeo stopped when they reached Mirabella’s dorm building. Tll wait for you here.”
“Okay”
Mirabella walked up the dorm steps, and three girls were waiting for her up ahead.
As Mirabella approached, Joyce whispered, “Mirabella, your fiancé really treats you well, even walks you to your dorm”
“He’s still standing there. Look, there were girls trying to flirt with him! Your fiancé’s eyes alone are enough to captivate!” Mya quickly gestured for Mirabella to turn around and look
Mirabella turned and saw Carl warding off three or four girls while Romeo’s eyes were only on her
“Your fiancé is so loyal, so romantic.” Mya never imagined there were boys like this in the world, willing to give up their high status to love a girl.
His gaze was only for her
Kelly teased Mirabella, “Is your boyfriend a bit upset?”
“Yes.”
“I knew it! He’s not used to you not being with him all the time.”
“You’re with him all the time??” Both Mya and Joyce were surprised at how close they were
Kelly pressed the top floor button in the elevator, casually saying, “Romeo secks her out every day, once in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. Sometimes he even visits her parents to chat, just to see her. Can you imagine his icy face making small talk with her parents?”
They could say his affection for Mirabella was deep, grabbing every chance to be near her.
Mya and Joyce were astonished, he was so romantic.
“I’m going to be with him tonight, and you girls don’t need to wait up for me. Just lock the door.”
Hearing Mirabella say this, Joyce was incredulous, “You mean?”
“Don’t worry, and they’re innocent. Nothing happened”
Hearing Kelly’s words, Mya and Joyce were surprised again. They spent so much time together, yet nothing happened. Romeo was really patient
“But what about the dorm inspections?” Joyce was worried that Mirabella would be reprimanded if the dorm manager found out
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it” Kelly patted her chest, taking responsibility, and added, “The dorm manager is easy to deal with, at least easier than Mirabella’s boyfriend.”
