Arabella’s Pov"Good morning, Andrei." I greeted the housekeeper for the first time since I returned to live here.The man looked surprised but returned my greeting with a smile. "Good morning to you too, Miss Bella. You're up earlier than usual.""I slept well today," I replied, noticing the breakfast looked festive and more complete than usual. "Looks like you changed the breakfast menu."Andrei usually only provides a breakfast menu consisting of lots of protein, such as meat and beans for Dallas, while I cereal with milk or various variants of sandwiches. This time, the almost middle-aged man prepared a lot of healthy food that looked delicious on the dining table.She nodded. "That's right. It was Mr. Dallas who asked her to eat more nutritious food. I hope you can still enjoy this breakfast, Miss.""Thank you, Andrei. I'll enjoy it." I started eating the food on my plate, looking at the outside courtyard that looked even more beautiful than usual.After calling Sean last night,
Arabella Pov"So, what excuse can you give me now, hm?" Dallas asked, looking at me and Sean sitting next to each other on the long sofa. He'd apparently gotten home earlier than the message he'd sent me and had finally found us in bed.I was grateful that there hadn't been any incidents that had caused a scene in the house. At the very least, Sean and I had both dressed and cleaned ourselves beforehand, as well as changed the bedding we were using so as not to leave any suspicions, but still, the incident this time had similarities to that time.I could only look down, playing with my hands uncomfortably, as I couldn't find a reason to defend myself. I was the one who invited Sean to the house and was looking for an opportunity to spend time with him without my brother's supervision. But, apparently, I had the wrong strategy.Dallas tapped a finger on his cell phone. I could feel his piercing gaze even as I looked down while Sean quietly clasped my hand tighter between our thighs. We
Arabella’s PovWe gathered together at the dining table for breakfast. I couldn't stop smiling as I looked at Sean sitting next to me, eating his food with relish. He chewed and then turned to me, smiling slightly as he reached out to touch my lips. "There's some sauce splattered."I deliberately licked Sean's finger, which was still lingering there, smiling seductively. "Oops."Sean looked stunned for a moment, surprised at my unusual behaviour and then laughed at my expression. "You're such a sweet doll, Bella. Should I have kissed you earlier?""Just kiss now." I closed my eyes, thrusting my face at him so it could be done immediately.Dallas cleared his throat so loudly, immediately ruining our moment, that I clucked. He gave me an annoyed look. "Please behave yourselves. Am I still here, or do you two think you can get away with anything in this family home?""You can just pretend you didn't see." I grumbled back at Dallas, annoyed that I had felt Sean's breath touch my cheek, bu
Arabella’s PovWanda and I continued our walk through the shopping center, looking at the window displays of several stores that had their newest and best-selling collections at the very front to attract the attention of people walking by like us. Wanda brought me inside several times, accompanying her as she browsed and selected the desired clothes.Wanda fitted one of the sweet-looking overalls in front of me, looking at my reflection in the mirror with an appraising expression. "Hm, nice too. Do you like it?" She looked at me, demanding an answer."I like it, but you don't have to buy it for me." I shook my head softly, knowing her obvious intentions. She already told me that one of her love languages is gift-giving, so refusing like this would be pointless.As expected, Wanda ignored my words. She immediately gave the overalls she had chosen for me to one of the staff accompanying us and took me to another section. We still picking out clothes when my phone vibrated from my pants
Sean’s PovI've been staying at Arabella's house for the past few days. It felt a little strange living in someone else's house, even though I had been friends with Dallas for a long time and Arabella was my girlfriend, but I was not used to the atmosphere of their house, which was much more closed and did not have a large yard like mine.I complete my work online, whether it's meetings or meetings with clients that Sarah helps me with. Even though I said I wasn't comfortable in this house, that didn't mean I wanted to leave Arabella now and not spend time with her, especially when Dallas kept following me everywhere I went."Did you go from brother complex to stalker?" I asked Dallas with a hint of annoyance, able to see him leaning against the bathroom door of my room while I was brushing my teeth.Dallas shrugged, pretending to be ignorant. "Could be. I just wanted to make sure you weren't alone with my sister without my knowledge.""Why don't you just follow Arabella? Are you out
Sean’s Pov"S-sean!" Arabella spoke in such a shrill voice that I pulled my hand away hurriedly while she pulled up her deliberately unbuttoned sweater with a flushed face.I could feel my face turning red, especially when remembering how soft Arabella's breasts were that I had touched just a moment ago. I unconsciously swallowed and looked away, unable to immediately speak about our current situation.Arabella and I didn't look at each other even though we were still walking close together, feeling awkward since it happened in a public place. Thankfully, no one else was around us as we were the last to exit the room, leaving only the cleaning staff inside and a few other people when we arrived at the front.I exhaled, relieved we managed to get through the incident quite well. I glanced at Arabella, who still wouldn't look at me, and mumbled very quietly, "Are you okay? Sorry about that, Bella. I didn't mean to."Arabella immediately looked at me and shook her head. "I know. You were
Sean's povI took Arabella to breakfast at the hotel restaurant for a quick checkout. She looked exhausted, but I put my arm around her waist so she wouldn't have trouble walking to our table. A waiter came to ask us what we'd chosen before leaving.I looked at Arabella, leaning back and playing with her cell phone, then returned to holding her waist as she sighed. "Does it still hurt?""A little, but it's okay." Arabella smiled soothingly, but I quickly approached her, intending to give her a massage directly. "Sean! We're still in a public place." She whispered in panic when I sat next to her and touched the back of her waist suddenly.I rubbed her lower back gently, not caring about Arabella's panic as long as she could be comfortable during breakfast. "I just want to massage you, Bella. Where does it still hurt?""A bit to the left... yes, up a bit. There, hm...." She sighed softly as my massage began, bending down slightly so my hands could better massage the areas she wanted.I
Arabella’s POV"Just home?" Dallas greeted us at the front door. Looking sour with her arms folded. "I've called you several dozen times, but none of you have picked up. Are you guys on purpose?"I sighed. Having just returned from a walk, I was treated to his endless nagging. I showed the paper bag I had been carrying and gave it to Dallas. "A souvenir for you. Move aside, I'm going in."What?" He sounded confused, but I managed to push him into giving way and stepped inside. I wanted to get to my room before Dallas continued his tirade. "Here...."I could hear Dallas opening the gift I'd quickly prepared and then turning my head silently to see his reaction. I had thought he wouldn't look at me, but now he seemed so happy to see me. "What?" I blurted out even as I saw his face light up.Dallas immediately came forward to hug me without me being able to stop him. "I love you so much, Bella." He patted my back before releasing our embrace while I hurriedly picked up my interrupted oxy
