Chapter 388
In no time, the topic “Arabella Scores Perfect on Exam” shot up to the top spot on the trending tab.
Arabella returned to her room and found a bunch of unread messages on her phone. She responded to Romeo McMillian first.
“I had a visit from a professor at Summerfield College earlier, but I’ve decided on Westerly College.”
Romeo quickly gave her a call, his voice filled with surprise and affection. “Was that perfect score in the exam yours?”
Arabella raised an eyebrow. “News travels fast, huh?” she thought.
The reporters had left less than ten minutes ago, and the news was already everywhere.
“You’re awesome, Bella.” Romeo praised sincerely.
Arabella smiled, “You’re not half bad yourself.”
Romeo was taken aback. So, did Arabella know all along that he was the perfect scorer from seven years ago? Had she looked it up, or had she noticed back then? “Westerly College is a good choice, it’s close to me.” Romeo replied with a chuckle, “I like watching you save people. You look so serious, so beautiful.”
“So, I’m not good looking normally?”
“You’re always good looking, but you have a special charm when you’re saving people.”
Arabella smiled, “What if I had chosen a school abroad?,”
“Then I’d move to work abroad. Wherever you are, that’s home for me.”

“Won’t that be tiring?” Arabella understood that, while communication may be done online or over the phone, dealing with problems would still necessitate going back home. The back and forth could take some time.
“What if I don’t step up, and when you go to university, you meet some bright, handsome guys and forget about me?”
Arabella could not help but laugh at his words.
“I don’t want to lose such a cute, beautiful, amazing fiancée because of distance.”
“The guys in university are too young.”
Jeher, they were too immature, like a bunch of little brothers. She couldn’t be attracted to them.
She smiled and said, “I prefer someone more mature.”
Romeo asked eagerly, “Do I, your fiancé, qualify as mature?”
Arabella answered without hesitation, “You’re pretty mature, but sometimes you can be childish.
“Childish?” Romeo thought.
“Is it when I’m clingy?” he then asked.
“Mhm.”

“Can’t help it, you’re too adorable. Being with you is just so joyful.” Romeo sincerely said, “I’m so happy, I want to be with you all the time.”
At that moment, Arabella’s heart felt like a tipped–over honey jar, but she still said, “I need to reply to my brother’s message. He’s waiting.”
“I’ll call you later then.”
“Okay.” Arabella said calmly, “I’ll hang up now.”
After hanging up, Arabella told her brother the good news, then opened up Grandpa Beck’s WhatsApp and replied to a few messages.
In WhatsApp, there was also a congratulatory message from Kelly Piper. After replying, Arabella opened the next unread message
It was from one of her former teachers.
“Arabella, I saw the news. You’re amazing! I am so proud of you!”
