Chapter 66 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

This time, he really turned off the lights and locked up. Before leaving, he deliberately changed the password, hoping it would have some effect.

He thought that if his sixth sense was accurate and someone was in the warehouse, this new password would trap them inside.

If there was no one, even if someone got the old password in the future, they still wouldn’t be able to get in!

Mirabella chuckled coldly when she heard the voice prompt indicating the successful password change. She didn’t expect this guy to be so vigilant.

But this door was like a paper tiger to her.

No matter what password was used, it was all the same.

There wasn’t a system in this world that she couldn’t crack; how could a mere door keep her confined?:

Mirabella quietly climbed down from the beams of the warehouse and took a stroll around. She noticed a pile of inferior fabric in an inconspicuous corner, probably used to produce those shoddy new products.”

Her eyes dimmed, then she hacked into the company’s surveillance system to make sure no one was outside before she opened the door and left.

Romeo had been waiting outside for forty minutes. Seeing the familiar figure finally emerge, he rushed forward and pulled the girl into his arms. “All done?” “Hmm.”

“I’ll drive you home.” Seeing that it was getting late, Romeo drove her to Reflections Villa,

Edith was tending the garden when she saw Mr. McMillan personally driving their young lady home. She hurriedly invited him in..

Romeo didn’t refuse and led Mirabella inside by the hand.

Serena was playing the piano to please her parents when she heard from the servant that Romeo had arrived. Kenneth and Louisa hurried downstairs to greet him..

Serena suppressed her eagerness to see Romeo and first went back to her room to freshen up, then instructed the maid Holly about something before heading downstairs.

“Romeo, Bella didn’t cause you any trouble when she spent the night at your place, did she?” Kenneth asked with a grin.

“No.” Romeo looked at Mirabella tenderly and said, “In fact, we’re the ones always bothering her.”

Louisa couldn’t help but smile at their interaction. “How’s Phillip doing?”

Romeo politely replied, “Grandpa says seeing Bella makes him feel a lot better.”

“Hahaha.” Kenneth was thrilled that Phillip was so fond of his daughter.

“Bella has been going to the company a lot lately; we’re worried she’s not eating enough or working too hard.”

No sooner had Louisa finished speaking than Romeo assured them, “Don’t you worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

He always had an affectionate look in his eyes when he looked at Mirabella.

Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances; both could tell that Romeo was head over heels for Bella–really smitten!

Just then, Serena walked down the stairs elegantly with her carefully applied makeup, flashing a classic debutante smile and warmly saying, “Hey, sis, bro–in–law, you’re here?”

Every move she made as she descended the stairs was filled with grace and nobility, like she was well–trained and practically flawless.

Seeing her manners and demeanor, Louisa was satisfied. At least all these years efforts weren’t wasted, especially when she heard her say “bro–in–law, It was clear that she knew her boundaries; she wouldn’t try to replace Bella just because she was previously engaged to Romeo and step into the McMillan family.

Mirabella noticed Serena’s subtle makeup and responded lightly.

Romeo’s gaze remained on Mirabella, filled with fondness. “Shall we go out for breakfast tomorrow morning?”

“I’d rather eat at home.”

“I’d like to join you.”

Kenneth heard that and thought, wasn’t that simple?

“I’ll have the kitchen prepare extra breakfast tomorrow, Romeo; you can come over and eat with Bella, then head to work!”

Romeo heard this and thought, just as he wanted, “Thank you.”

“No need; we’re family!” Kenneth asked with a grin, “What do you like to eat?”

“I’ll have whatever.” Romeo cast a doting glance at Mirabella and said, “I’ll eat whatever Bella eats.”

Serena, ignored on the side, felt both jealous and embarrassed.

Just then, Holly seized the opportunity to bring over a glass of lemon water, saying, “Miss Serena, here’s your water.”

She had already served tea to Romeo and Mirabella earlier, so nobody found it conspicuous when she brought a glass for the just–arrived Serena.

But she deliberately stumbled against the leg of a chair, and the water in her hand splashed all over Serena.

Quite conveniently, it splashed on Serena’s chest.

Serena was already wearing a silk robe, which was now mostly wet at the front, revealing her enticing curves.

“I’m so sorry! Miss Serena, I didn’t mean to!” Holly was extremely regretful and quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe Serena.

“It’s okay, don’t worry; I can take care of it myself.” Serena showed her understanding side.

But Romeo didn’t even glance at her for a second.

“Miss Serena, it’s all my fault; I got your clothes wet!” Holly emphasized the word “wet“.

But Romeo’s gaze stayed on Mirabella. He whispered something in her ear; Mirabella gave him a frustrated look, while Romeo flashed a mischievous smile. They seemed to be flirting.

“Serena, go change your clothes.” Louisa suggested it softly.

“Sorry. I’ll go upstairs to change and come back down to accompany you

No matter how polite she was, Romeo’s gaze never lingered on her for a second.

As she was going upstairs, Serena heard Louisa ask in surprise, “Bella, is this a new bracelet? I’ve never seen you wear it before.”

“He gave it to me.”

Her simple response made Serena pause in her steps, nearly frozen in shock!

“Romeo gave it to you?” Louisa hurriedly took a closer look. The design is so beautiful! I’ve never seen it on the market.”

“He designed it.”

Serena was completely floored. Even Kenneth and Louisa couldn’t believe it, both of them blurting out, “Designed by Romeo?”

“This design is way too good, isn’t it?” Louisa kept gushing, “Even better than what our professional jewelry designers can do. The shape, the creativity. Love really does make a difference, huh?”

Who’d have thought Romeo had such a romantic side? Kenneth chuckled appreciatively and said, “Romeo, you’re such a sweetheart, making such a unique piece. Bella, have you ever given anything to Romeo?”

Mirabella was stumped. Indeed, she realized that since they met, it had been all about Romeo’s giving and her taking. She hadn’t really returned the favor or even properly thanked him.

“You see, Phillip gave you that necklace with a special meaning, and Romeo personally designed this bracelet for you. Maybe when you have some time, think about what you can give them in return.” Kenneth suggested it with a warm smile.

“It’s all good.” Romeo brushed it off, sparing the girl beside him any embarrassment. He sincerely said, “Bella is the best gift the McMillan family has ever received. I just want her; nothing else matters.”

Mirabella looked at him, his eyes full of love and tenderness. Overwhelmed, she quickly looked away.

“Romeo, you sure have a way with words.” Louisa chuckled approvingly. “Such a tender, tall, and handsome young man. Bella, you better hold onto him. I can tell Romeo would make a great husband.”

Mirabella was speechless.

“Thank you for your kind words.”

Serena was utterly speechless!

She was already at the last step of the staircase. One more step, and she would be at the top, no longer able to hear their conversation.

But she felt as if she was frozen in place, unable to move!

Romeo had designed a bracelet for Mirabella and even said such sweet and sincere words!

He was such a quiet and reserved man, yet he could say such things. It was clear how deep his feelings for Mirabella were!

In just a few days, his affection for Mirabella had deepened to such an extent!
