âChasel has never brought a girl home before, youâre the first!â Kenneth said it with a warm smile.
âHey, someone get the coffee on! Bella, can someone whoâs hurt drink coffee?â
âA little should be fine,â Arabella replied.
âGood, Edith, bring out the best coffee beans in the house! Bella gave the okay, so no worries.â
Myma felt a bit awkward. âReally, thereâs no need. I was just passing by.â
No one would believe her now if she said she was just passing by.
âChaselâs first love, and he didnât even know to pick you up, he made you come by yourself.â Louisa said this with a reproachful look at Chasel. What a blockhead! Didnât he know how to treat a girl gently?
Just as Chasel was about to say something, Louisa asked, âHow did you get this injury?â
1 Late at night, a beautiful girl, with a sudden wound around her neck.
âThe road was too dark. I tripped and scratched myself a rock.â Myrna took all the blame, not wanting Arabella to be scolded.
âHow could a rock cause this kind of injury? Was it one of the rocks on our doorstep? Someone, go outside and check. Throw away all the rocks that could potentially hurt people!â
Louisa sighed. âThis girl just came to visit, and she got hurt. What would her parents think?â
âMom, actually, this happened because.â Arabella wanted to say it was because of her.
Myrna immediately interrupted her, saying, âYouâre Bella, right? Iâm Myrna, nice to meet you.â
The name Myma surprised Kenneth and Louisa.
What did they just hear? Myma?
Louisa was shocked for a while before asking incredulously, âYour father is Aaron?â
âYes, but I donât really know him.â Myrna tried to keep her composure, worried that Kenneth and Louisa would reject her like Chasel did after knowing her identity. She didnât know her own father well? Who was she trying to fool?
Arabella didnât know who Myrna was until Romeo whispered that she was the Prime Ministerâs daughter, and, then it all clicked for Arabella.
Thatâs why Myrna said earlier that Chasel didnât agree to be with her because of his status.
So thatâs it!
âYou sneaky little devil, youâve got a girlfriend on the sly, and she is.â Kenneth didnât finish his sentence, he was just pondering how to explain her getting hurt so soon after his arrival.
âMyrna, hereâs your coffee.â The servant brought the coffee to Myrna.
Louisa took it over and handed it to Myrna personally: âMyrna, have a sip of coffee first.â
Thank you, but thereâs no need, I can take it.â Myrna found the Collins family to be overly enthusiastic.
âYouâre new here, you might not be familiar with the place. After your coffee, Iâll have Chasel show you around.â
âDad, Myrna, and I.â Chasel wanted to say, Myrna and he were not what she thought.
But Kenneth interrupted him with a laugh, saying, âWhat are you waiting for? Go on.
It seemed like Myrna really liked him. Chasel was indeed lucky to have such a pretty and sweet girl fond of him.
Chasel wanted to explain further, but Myrna had already taken his arm.
There was no way he could explain now.
âYour family is very warm and friendly.â Myrna said she was pleased to be arm in arm with him as they headed upstairs.
