NovelOnlineAt Reflections Villa, the gatekeeper never saw Romeo leave, and his car remained parked outside.
Shortly thereafter, someone found Romeo's discarded clothes in Arabella's shower, and the room next door was locked from the
inside. The servants snickered among themselves, eagerly sharing the juicy tidbit with a frantic Louisa.
Louisa had been worried sick about her daughter's welfare, but upon hearing the servants’ gossip, a wave of relief washed over
her, and a smile crept onto her face, unstoppable. She ordered all the staff to avoid the second floor so as not to disturb the young
couple's rest.
Unbeknownst to her, Arabella had also drifted off to sleep.
After sthad passed, Romeo awoke to find the girl in his arms and a quiet sense of bliss filled him.
He couldn't bear to let go of her soft body for even a second. The scent of her skin drew him closer, and with a deep, contented
inhale, he held her tighter in his embrace.

Two days later.
Serena had learned that Florence was alone each day from 2 to 3 p.m. without any family by her side, so she sent someone over
with bags of goodies to visit.
Florence, who had been recuperating in the ICU for many days, was just beginning to feel better when she heard from her
bodyguard that Serena had arrived, instantly souring her mood.
"I know you don't want to see me. I'll just leave these things here and go," said Serena, as she was wheeled into the room by a
servant.
The bodyguard in the hospital room was torn, unsure whether to shoo her away or let her be.
"What are you doing here?" Florence clearly didn't want her there.
"I know that your illness is my fault, and | truly feel terrible about it. These gifts are just a small token of my apology."
Serena hadn't finished speaking when Florence cut her off with a cold voice, "You're using my son's money to buy these things,
what kind of gesture is that? If you have any sincere regret, please leave my son alone and stop bringing him misfortune!"
Serena knew she wouldn't get any kind words from her, but with the bodyguard present, she still put on a pitiful front.
"The engagement party for Martin andis set for this Friday at 7 p.m. at the Century Hotel. Martin and | both hope you can set
aside your grudges and attend. After all, he's your only son, and this is a once-in-a-lifetevent."
At that, Florence's heart couldn't take it, "What did you say?"
"Friday at 7 is the auspicious tMartin picked out with an expert. Don't worry, after the engagement party, I'll officially be part of
the Cooper family, and Martin and | will take good care of you."
Seeing the medical monitors spike with activity, Serena smirked with satisfaction and said gleefully, "Well then, | won't disturb you
any longer, Mrs. Florence. Goodbye."
She glanced at Dora, who nodded at Florence as a form of farewell, then wheeled Serena away.

Florence couldn't believe it. Despite her strong opposition, even to the point of being in the ICU, her son had gone behind their
backs to pick a date without their consent, settling on this very Friday evening.
Did that damned fool even consider his parents' feelings at all?
"Mr. Martin must have arranged it after hearing from the doctor that you'd be discharged on Wednesday, so..."
Before the bodyguard could finish, Florence fainted from rage.
Panicked, the bodyguard frantically pressed the call button.
