My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth)

Chapter 23

Speaking of this, Melvin Spencer, with a red wine glass in his hand, suddenly paused and had such a

grim face.

Born into one of the top four rich and powerful families in Hardgrad, Melvin had certainly heard about

the Lucero family, but unfortunately, he didn't know them better than outsiders.

The young master of the Lucero family, Kenneth Lucero, was very low-key and mysterious. He had

never appeared in public. Melvin once sent someone to poke around, but he only found out that

Kenneth Lucero came to Hardgrad a few years ago and he was actually from...Faykarta.

Faykarta was the most prosperous financial metropolis. Anyone in the streets was likely to be a

second-generation rich person, because the ordinarily wealthy couldn't gain access to the financial

center.

Certainly, the super-rich in Faykarta were the real business tycoons who controlled the lifeline of

Manford's economy.

Melvin once heard that the surname of the most influential family in Faykarta's business community

was also Lucero.

It was really a coincidence, wasn't it?

In fact, the aristocratic family in Hardgrad was the Gallaghers. Meanwhile, the young master of the

Gallagher family, Jared Gallagher, was a close friend of Kenneth Lucero since childhood.

Leia Snyder had sensed the change of Melvin's mood. She continued, "Melvin, don't you remember

that Arabella Snyder was with a man when she was in the countryside, and they spent the night in the

cave? Arabella was at such a young age, then she dared to sleep with a stranger."

Melvin drank up the red wine in the glass, put out his hand and shoved Leia onto the bed.

Melvin was very rude and Leia's head bumped into the bedside cabinet. It hurt so much that she almost

cried.

At this moment, Melvin stooped down and stared at Leia angrily.

Leia was frightened by Melvin's look. Every time she said that Arabella was dating other men, he would

lose control like this and become very scary.

However, Leia's feelings for Melvin were real. She put her arms around his neck and said, "Melvin, I

love you. You are my only one and I even gave you my virginity."

Melvin's face darkened. That was right, Arabella had betrayed him. She was just a fickle woman. She

didn't deserve his love at all.

He must stop thinking about Arabella Snyder!

Melvin reached out to take pajamas off Leia. Leia hugged him happily, "Melvin, I want to be with you

forever."

Melvin closed his eyes, but he couldn't get Arabella off his mind. Arabella was just a little girl that year,

and her Mom took her to visit his home. Her Mom asked him whether he wanted to marry Bella.

He was already a big boy at that time, but he blushed for being shy. He went straight into his bedroom

without saying anything.

That day, this child betrothal was arranged for them.

He still remembered that Arabella, who was lovely and clever when she was little, looked up at him with

her bright eyes, smiled at him, and called him Melvin.

Melvin buried his handsome face in Leia's hair, and murmured in a low voice, "Bella..."

Hearing this, Leia felt it was like a slap on the face and all her fantasies about love and happiness were

dampened.

...

While Leia was sleeping, Melvin leaned against the bed, lit a cigarette and smoked in the dark.

When he was about to finish his cigarette, Melvin took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, Arabella's sweet voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello?"

"It's me," Melvin answered while puffing smoke from his mouth.

Arabella was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Why are you calling me?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Come to Room 8206 tomorrow evening. I'll wait for you there."

"Melvin, are you out of your mind?"
