Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Seeing her start to talk, Romeo popped the shrimp right into her mouth.
Mirabella shot him a warning look, but Romeo didn’t get ruffled. He looked back at her with a soft gaze, “How is it?”
“Yuck!”
The foreign chef nearby nearly had a heart attack, stuttering in broken English, “Which dish didn’t suit your palate? Just say the word, I’ll fix it right away.”
“I was talking about the person, not the food.”
The foreign chef was a tad confused, unsure what she was on about.
“You guys can scram.”
Once Romeo spoke, the chefs and the manager beat a hasty retreat, practically fleeing the scene.
“Pissed?” Romeo looked at the girl before him tenderly, “I guess I got ahead of myself.”
“Can you sit across from me?”
In other words, can you give me some space?
“I wanna sit with you.”
Faced with Romeo’s earnest expression, Mirabella was at a loss for words.
Finally, they finished eating, the lights in the restaurant dimmed, the ceiling opened up, revealing the beautiful night sky.
Back when Demetrius and Olga were still trying to get their business off the ground, they barely made it home, always hustling. It was Grace who kept her company through those sleepless nights.
The countryside back then was just as star–studded as now.
But the people and events of the past are now but distant memories.
A violinist took his position in a corner of the room and started playing some romantic tunes.
As the music faded, the night sky lit up with brilliant fireworks. Mirabella looked up at the display, while Romeo kept his gaze fixed on her.
Her eyes were extra bright under the glow of the fireworks, but upon closer look, she seemed a bit melancholic.
Romeo wanted to take another look, but her melancholy had vanished, just like the fireworks in the sky, leaving no trace behind.
Under the alternating brightness and darkness of the fireworks, Mirabella’s beauty was striking. Her aristocratic and icy demeanor was like the radiant moon, incomparable.
“Did you arrange all of this?” Mirabella looked up at the fireworks.
“Yes.” Romeo wasn’t sure if the aloof Mirabella liked all of this, “Do you prefer doctors now, or those who didn’t study medicine?”
Mirabella found it amusing and deliberately said, “Doctors are better, they’re practical and useful.”
Was she implying that he wasn’t practical and only knew how to prepare useless stuff?
After a while, the ceiling slowly closed and the lights in the box gradually brightened.
When the lights in the entire box were fully restored, the violinist nearby lowered her head to give thanks and was about to leave when she accidentally saw Mirabella and was taken aback. Wasn’t Mirabella her half–teacher?
Mirabella had once taught her some violin knowledge, but never officially took her as a disciple. She didn’t expect to meet her here!
Mirabella didn’t expect the violinist she had painstakingly taught for half a month to play so terribly…
She had been wondering where they found such a disappointing violinist.
“Do you know her?” Romeo saw Mirabella looking at the violinist.
Mirabella smiled, “The famous violinist Skyler, who doesn’t know her?”
Skyler quickly said, “No, you’re exaggerating. I haven’t practiced well recently, I’m sorry if I gave you a bad experience.”
“Off you go.” Romeo didn’t know what had transpired between them, he held Mirabella’s hand without letting go.
Seeing that Mirabella had no intention of pursuing the matter, Skyler left and immediately took out her phone, “Teacher, I didn’t know it was you! I was asked to help at the last minute. I thought it was some rich people who didn’t understand music theory that paid me to play around…so I didn’t really cafe…”
Mirabella received her message and simply replied a few words, “Your performance was terrible.”
“I’ll definitely practice harder.”
Mirabella put away her phone and didn’t reply, “Let’s go.”
Sitting across from La Belle Vie, Yolanda was already full, but Mirabella hadn’t come out yet.
“Yoli, you have a good appetite today, want to eat some more? How about another ice cream?” Zachary didn’t know what she was thinking, he thought, these things were to her taste.
“No need.” Yolanda replied with a smile.
She would vomit if she ate more. If it wasn’t for waiting for Mirabella to come out, she absolutely wouldn’t eat so much!
“Not eating anymore? Then let’s go? Let’s take a walk by the river.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Zachary called the waiter to pay the bill and then took Yolanda’s hand and left the restaurant.
Yolanda was a little unsteady and delayed some time. She was a bit regretful that she couldn’t witness Zachary seeing Mirabella off work.
Just then, the VIP elevator of La Belle Vie across the street suddenly opened, a tall and handsome man walked out side by side with Mirabella. Although it was only a few seconds, Yolanda was stunned!
Despite the distance, the man’s figure, appearance, and aura completely surpassed Zachary!
Although she couldn’t see his specific features, Yolanda could tell that the man was very young!
She was truly shocked, there were no words to describe her feelings at the moment!
Could that man be Mirabella’s brother?
Mirabella came from a poor family, it was very likely that she was working here with her brother!
Thinking this way, she felt a little better, but she still couldn’t explain the man’s actions, he seemed to be walking out hand in hand with Mirabella…
Could she have seen wrong?
Would siblings hold hands?
She was so far away, and only saw them for a few seconds, she didn’t see the specific situation…
“Yoli, what’s wrong?”
“No…” Yolanda didn’t dare to say that she saw her sister again, afraid that Zachary would think she was always staring at her sister. But the direction that the man and Mirabella were leaving seemed to be towards the exclusive parking lot of La Belle Vie.
“Zachary, I just remembered, there’s a dessert shop at the foot of the mountain. I want to pack some desserts for my parents, and also buy some for your parents, how about it?”
“There’s no need, my parents don’t eat sweets at night. If your parents want some, I can buy it for them.” Zachary drove to the foot of the mountain and went in with her.
Yolanda pretended to select desserts, occasionally glancing at the road outside. Coming down from the mountain top, there was only this road, whether Mirabella was taking a cab or riding a bike, she would pass this dessert shop.
But Yolanda had been selecting for a long time, waiting for a long time, she didn’t see any vehicles except a luxury car.
Could it be that Mirabella was walking?
“Miss, is there no dessert in our shop that you like?” The shopkeeper saw Yolanda dressed in brand–name clothes, she had been picking cakes for half an hour and couldn’t help but come forward to ask.
“No, I just remembered, my parents went to a charity dinner, there’s probably a lot of food there, I won’t bring them any.”
Yolanda pulled Zachary out of the dessert shop, got in the car, and looked at the rear mirror again, there was really no one in sight. So Mirabella really did walk.
At this time, Mirabella was sitting in the luxury car that Yolanda had just seen, looking at the man in front of her, “Can you let go now?”
He said it was just holding her for a little while, but it went on all night! Not enough? Romeo lightly curved his lips, “What’s wrong with holding my fiancée’s hand?”
“I’m not your fiancée.”
What era is this, there’s still this kind of prearranged engagement?
The key is that he, as a highly educated modern man, didn’t oppose this arranged marriage!
It’s really strange!
