Back in the room, Arabella hugged a pillow and leaned against the bed, thinking about Jocelyn White’s words.Not long after, Daniel returned. He noticed her clothes and asked, “You haven’t showered yet?”“I have. But because you still weren’t back, I went out to look for you.” She could have changed back into his shirt earlier but she didn’t.Daniel’s clothes were either branded or high-end custom-made. It would be a pity to wear them as pajamas.Daniel took a cup of water and walked towards the dispenser. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “A tourist lost something valuable and called the police.”“No wonder when I went to look for you just now, there wasn’t even a staff member on the entire floor.”Those who could stay in the VIP room were rich people, so they would definitely not let go of the lost items.“They’ve all been brought in for questioning.” He drank a few mouthfuls to soothe his throat. His dry and hoarse voice gradually regained its luster. “You sleep first. I’ll
“Boyfriend?” Daniel frowned slightly.Arabella pinched his waist lightly as she smiled and said, “That’s right. I think so too.”The crowd was shocked enough to find out when Sam claimed Daniel was her boyfriend. If they knew Daniel was her husband, wouldn’t this group of people explode?Ms. Lewis quickened her pace, leaving some space for the two of them. Daniel narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “I’m your boyfriend?”“Sam said so.” She chuckled guiltily.“But you didn’t clarify.” Daniel hit the nail on the head.Seeing that the crowd had left them far behind, she dragged him and quickened her pace. “Hurry up, hurry up. We’re falling behind. We’ll lose them at this rate.”After going through the mountain, there was an iron chain bridge that connected to the next mountain. Below it was a deep valley with a mist that lingered between the lush trees – the entire scenery looked like something out of a fairytale.The group continued on their journey over the bridge which swayed wit
If Something Happened to HerSam’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth. “What did you see me write?”He had been talking all day long about his dream to be a great photographer in the future. Everyone in the magazine agency knew about it. So what did she need to peek for?“I didn’t peek.” Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she continued to say, “Everyone in the magazine agency knows what your wish is.”Sam felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. “Don’t tell them that we had already come here to make a wish. You mustn’t tell them. Otherwise, they’ll make fun of me again.”“It depends on my mood,” said Arabella teasingly.Sam’s face turned pale.The wind started to pick up, and the red wishes on the branches started to dance wildly. Arabella looked up at the sky and noticed the gathering dark clouds. “I think it’s time we meet back with the rest.”“What’s the hurry? We-”A loud boom followed a bright bolt of lightning, cutting off Sam’s words. The two looked at each other,
If Something Happened To Her, It Would BeA Dead Body And Two Lives (2)Ms. Lewis and the others looked at him in shock while Mr. Shiloh muttered a realization to himself. “No wonder President Garcia was so anxious and reckless.”“The signal tower collapsed?” Caleb frowned.“Ms. Arabella is at the signal tower.” Mr. Shiloh nodded.“What?” Caleb’s eyes opened wide in shock. “Young Madam is pregnant. If anything happens to her, both of us will die!”“What?” Sam had just reached the door when he heard this. “What?”They looked at the door and saw a man supporting Sam, both wearing large black raincoats.Sam took off the raincoat, revealing his frighteningly pale face. “No wonder she said her stomach hurts. She’s pregnant.”As soon as he said that, not only Caleb, but even Mr. Shiloh and the others broke out in cold sweat.Ms. Lewis looked at Xeno, scared and anxious. She was afraid that something had happened to Arabella.“I’ll go up the mountain to find them,” said Xeno after pondering
The Child Is Very HealthyHowever, he now knew that John and Serenity had put on a wedding ring for a fake marriage, so Daniel knew Arabella was referring to them, the young master and young madam of the Rivera family.He untied the wish on the branch, came down from the bamboo ladder, and put it into his suit pocket.The little monk complained, saying, “Why did you take down her wish? It won’t come true like this.”“I will be the one to fulfill all her wishes.” Daniel left this sentence with the monk and entered the temple. He took off his raincoat and threw it to Caleb, who had been following behind him.Caleb and Xeno were stunned by the appearance of the man before them. He was drenched, his black hair was messy, and his trousers below his knees had been soaked in mud and water. His walk was not as strong as usual and the movement of his legs was a little stiff.When they arrived at the guest room, Daniel was already sitting by Arabella’s bedside, his large palm placed on her abdo
A Blatant InvitationHis deep yet bright eyes watched Arabella quietly, reflecting her silhouette. He had spoken with such seriousness that her eyes started to heat up and she had to do her best to suppress the layers of mist forming.Arabella gently held his right hand, her slender fingertips hooked the bandage wrapped around it, and her eyes turned sour.If he had not found her in time, she would probably have lost her life.Daniel used his left hand to caress her pale face. “You must be hungry. Mrs. Winstead sent over black chicken soup this morning. I’ll go get it for you.”He pushed the wheelchair to the table, opened the thermos flask, and poured some chicken soup into a bowl. He held the bowl with his bandaged left hand and pushed the wheelchair back to the bed with his other hand.” It’s still hot.”Arabella received the bowl of soup and took a few sips but did not touch a single piece of chicken.Daniel knew she must not have much of an appetite yet, so he did not force her.

Julia Silver Garcia looked around the room at the others present before her eyes finally landed on her son in bed. “Such a big thing happened and yet you did not think to tell me and your father?”“Even if I didn’t call you, someone would have informed you.” The corners of Daniel’s lips curled into a mocking smile.Julia didn’t care about his tone. “I heard about what happened this time. You were too impulsive. No matter what, you shouldn’t have risked your own life-”“If you’re here to teach me a lesson, you might as well not come,” said Daniel, interrupting her in a tone devoid of respect.Julia’s expression changed slightly. There were outsiders present, yet he didn’t seem to care.Arabella decided to step in as she said, “Mom, don’t misunderstand. I’m very happy that you came to see him. You know his temper very well. It’s just that he can be a bit cold sometimes.”Unfortunately, Julia didn’t ease up. Mrs. Winstead had called the main residence to inform the Master and Madam of th
In the Beginning The airport was as busy as usual, and a sweet female voice could be heard reporting the flight numbers over the broadcast.Upon the arrival of a flight from California to the Philippines, the passengers walked out of the arrival hall like a swarm of bees.A slim girl walked out of the corridor while dragging her luggage out. She was wearing a T-shirt, which had words printed on it, as well as a pair of dark blue pencil jeans. Her naturally wavy hair was also tied up into a ponytail.She had pale skin and was very tall and slender. Moreover, she had a pure and peaceful demeanor that made her stand out among the crowd.Once Mr. Ramil Oliveros, who came to welcome her at the airport, saw her, he immediately went forward to take the luggage from her. “Miss Arabella Rivera,” greeted Mr. Ramil.Arabella Rivera scanned her surroundings and realized that Mr. Ramil was the only one who had come to fetch her at the airport. She could not help but curl her lips up in ridicule.

“There will always be a way.” The manager pondered for a moment and asked the question that had puzzled her all this while: “Every time you encounter difficulties, he would be there for you. Why is that?”Her manager’s words reminded her that every time Daniel met ‘that’ person, he would be flustered. She had found another way.Arabella and Daniel took the elevator to the second floor for their meal. The restaurant was very big and was divided into two types of food, Chinese and Western. The two of them decided to have Chinese today.As they entered the restaurant, Arabella was reminded of the gourmet restaurant in the mountains to eat hairy crabs. She had gone there once with Wendy Garcia and during the meal, Arabella was convinced she would return for more. But when she reached home, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.When Mrs. Winstead found out what Arabella had eaten, the former gently chided the latter, saying that crabs are not good for pregnant women to consume.Well, A
Daniel frowned when Arabella hesitated. He took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. It was the landline in the living room.The butler answered the call. “Young Master,” said he.“Send a car to send Miss Bower back.”Linda Bower’s face turned pale as she bit her gorgeous red lips tightly and her eyes turned misty. Her right hand subconsciously tightened around the strap of her handbag.Daniel put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Linda. “The butler will get a car to send you back.”Under Linda’s indignant gaze, he held Arabella’s hand and walked towards the car. The two got in, fastened their seatbelts, and drove away.When she could no longer see Daniel’s car, Linda was still standing stiffly, her gaze filled with hatred as she stared in the direction they had left.Perhaps it was because she had been standing in the wind for too long but her face was frighteningly pale, making the hatred and resentment in her eyes look like demonic flowers in the dark.Yesterday
