Chapter 648
“I heard girls love sweets.” Chasel picked up a nearby lollipop casually, tore open the wrapper, and handed it to Arabella.
Arabella took a bite and said, “Thanks, Chasel. It’s sweet.”
“Ms. Bella, you’re back? Chasel had some flowers planted on your balcony. They’re really beautiful; you should take a look.”
Previously, Hans had planted flowers on Arabella’s balcony, and Chasel was no exception. However, when Arabella went up, she found that the flowers Chasel had planted were hung layer by layer on her railing, perfectly covering the flowers Hans had planted earlier.
This childish behavior made Arabella laugh.
A question came from the living room: “Why did only you come back? Where’s Bella?”
“Didn’t Bella come back with you?” Kenneth also asked, “Is she still at school? How could you leave her alone at school?”
As Arabella was about to go downstairs, she felt a gaze coming this way again.
This time, she was sure it wasn’t her imagination, someone really was watching their every move!
[Check who’s at my front door.] Arabella texted her subordinates, then went downstairs.
“Bella!” Louisa saw her and said happily, “Come on, dinner’s ready! I made three dishes tonight!”
“I made three too! Come taste and see how they are!”
Chasel stood aside: His parents can cook? He’s this old, and it’s the first time he’s found out they can cook.
“Where’s Romeo? Why didn’t he come back with you?” Louisa asked.
“He had something come up last minute; don’t wait for him.” Arabella sat down, and a servant wanted to serve her soup.
Chasel quickly said, “I’ll do it.”
He served Arabella soup and rice and handed her the utensils.
“Bella, which dish do you want to try?” Chasel intended to serve her himself.
“Of course it’s this one I made! I just learned it today! You must try it!”
After Louisa finished, Kenneth said, “The three I made are pretty good too; try a bite first.
“What? You’re trying to compete with me?”
“No, no, Arabella can try yours first, and then mine.” Kenneth hurriedly explained.
Then, a voice exclaimed, “Serena, you’re back?”
Louisa followed the sound and saw Serena standing not far away, still in her school uniform.
She got up in surprise and said, “Serena, how come you’re back?”
“Why shouldn’t I come back?” Serena looked a bit downcast and somewhat aggrieved.
Louisa quickly said, “No, I mean, aren’t you participating in extracurricular activities?
“I heard Chasel was back, so I wanted to see him. Isn’t Arabella also participating in extracurricular activities?” Serena meant, wasn’t Arabella back too?
She bit her lip and said, “If there’s no food prepared for me at home, it’s okay; I just came to see Chasel; I’ll leave after a glance.”
“What, is our house running out of food?” Kenneth also stood up and walked over to her, patting her shoulder with a smile and saying, “Tired, huh? Come join us for dinner.”
He explained, “Your brother came back suddenly and didn’t notify us in advance. We thought you were busy with extracurricular activities, so we didn’t tell you, afraid you’d be too tired. Arabella happened to run into your brother at school.”
Serena obviously didn’t believe it. Huh? Who did they think they were fooling?
Chasel worked at the Ministry of State Security. Even if he came back suddenly, he wouldn’t go to Arabella’s school and not come to find her!
After all, she and Chasel had lived together for eighteen years, and Arabella had only just come back a few days ago.
