Chapter 10
Arabella was sent to the countryside at the age of nine. She knew that she shouldn't hold any
expectations for her so-called father, Seth. Sure enough, there were no exceptions in this phone call.
Seth was still the Seth that Arabella knew. A person who valued vanity and pride and was obsessed
with medicine. He also hoped to further develop the Snyder Medical Group.
Now, Stephany was the daughter that Seth was most proud of. As a daughter who had just returned
from the countryside, Arabella could be used to send off for marriage and be taken advantage of.
"Father, I know. I'll go tomorrow." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Arabella's obedience had made Seth's tone turn a little softer, "Bella, the purpose of you marrying there
was to counteract their bad luck. Your terminally ill future husband will die soon. After resolving Mr.
Weber's matter, I'll find you a better family to marry."
"Then, I'll thank you in advance." Arabella hung up the phone.
After turning off the phone, Arabella closed her eyes in Kenneth's arms. Actually, Arabella was feeling
sad. She believed that she was no different than an orphan.
She wanted to live like an average child that was loved by her parents. She wanted to live a simple and
peaceful life. However, all of these were simply a luxury for her.
She had no home.
She was a child that wasn't loved by her parents.
Perhaps she was feeling cold, Arabella curled up in Kenneth's arms. Kenneth's arms were firm and
warm. It was a body that could protect any woman.
Arabella rested her head on Kenneth's chest. "Thump, thump, thump," his powerful heartbeat made
Arabella feel secure.
Arabella thought that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but in the arms of this man, she slept well until
dawn.
...
Kenneth slowly opened his eyes. It was the next day morning. The brilliant morning sunlight was
piercing through the layers of curtains, sprinkling lights in the air.
Kenneth's eyes were misty because of wakening. There was a moment of dazedness.
Many years had passed since Kenneth could sleep properly until the next day and open his eyes under
this beautiful morning sunlight.
Kenneth closed his eyes and wanted to hug the girl in his arms.
He knew that Arabella had slept in his arms all night as there were residuals of her body temperature
and fragrance in his arms.
However, he hugged nothing. His arms were empty, and Arabella was gone.
Suddenly, Kenneth was completely awake. He lifted the silk blanket and got up.
At this time, the study door was pushed open. The butler, Bryson, walked in with a happy face, "Mr.
Lucero, are you awake? When Mrs. Lucero left, she asked me to not disturb you and let you sleep for a
while longer. It's been years since you can sleep until waking up naturally. It's something that even Mr.
Norman can't do. To think that Mrs. Lucero was able to do this, what kind of magical power does she
have?"
Bryson felt that it was incredible. He knew Kenneth's physical condition best. He was worried after
Arabella entered the study room last night. However, he was surprised that Kenneth could sleep with
Arabella for the whole night.
Kenneth looked outside the door, "Where is Mrs. Lucero?"
"Mrs. Lucero said she needed to go out to deal with something. She would be back at night."
"Did she say where she's going?"
"No."
"Ok."
Kenneth returned to his bedroom and went into the toilet to take a shower. When he took off his white
shirt, he saw a deep tooth mark on his shoulder through the mirror.
Arabella bit it.
By looking at this tooth mark, one could imagine how hard had Arabella bit him at that time. She bit so
hard until leaving a mark on his body.
On this day, Kenneth didn't go to the company but worked in the study room. At night, he glanced at his
watch. It was eight o'clock, and Arabella hadn't yet returned.
Kenneth took out his phone. Arabella didn't send him a message or gave him a call.
Kenneth's heart was feeling stuffy, and he was a little upset. Suddenly, he heard a melodious ringtone.
Someone had called him.
Kenneth answered the call, "Hello."
Randall's voice quickly passed through the call, "Ken, it has been a while since you came out to play.
Your grandmother had introduced you to a bride to marry. Have you turned addicted to her and is living
the life of a house-husband already?"
House-husband... what?
Kenneth frowned and said impatiently, "I'll hang up if you're going to speak any more nonsense."
"Oh, please don't do this, Ken. Let's come out to play. I'll be waiting for you with Jared in the One Night
Bar."
...
One Night Bar.
In an isolated private room, Kenneth was sitting on the center of a couch. He was holding a cigarette
between his slender fingers and smoking.
The cigarette smoke had blurred his handsome face. One could only faintly see that he was frowning.
His expression was cold.
Randall was pouring wine, "Ken, what's wrong with you? Why are you smoking since entering the
room? I can feel that you're angry. You need to relieve your emotions well."
After saying that, Randall pushed a beautiful woman beside him toward Kenneth, "Ken, this is a new
girl in One Night. She's still a virgin. I purposely keep her for you. Nyla, whether you can feed this glass
of wine to Ken depends on your abilities."
The One Night Bar had always been a place for men to seek entertainment. It was a place that was
never in shortage of beautiful women. Men who visited here would spend thousands of dollars a night.
Of course, this bar was a property of the Hudson family.
The Luceros, the Gallaghers, the Hudsons, and the Spencers were the four giants in Hardgrad. Among
them, three of them were gathering here. These three people had been friends since they were a child.
They grew up together and had a close relationship.
Being pushed to Kenneth's side, Nyla's pure and beautiful face turned red because of shyness.
Kenneth was wearing a simple black shirt and trousers. He looked like a successful, charming, and
mature man even when smoking. Moreover, with his handsome face that looked perfect from any
angle, Nyla was willing to accompany him even for free.
Nyla picked up the wine glass and smiled playfully, "Mr. Lucero, should we have a drink?"
Kenneth could quickly smell the artificial perfume fragrance on Nyla's body. He looked at Nyla lightly,
"Stay away from me."
Nyla's pretty little face instantly turned pale.
Randall quickly chased Nyla away, "Ken, you have been single for so many years. Do you really have
no interest in women? My grandmother has forbidden me to go to play with you because she was
afraid of you being gay."
At this time, Jared, who was sitting beside, said, "Ken, I heard that the Snyder family has sent off a
replaced daughter named Arabella to marry you."
Hearing this name, Kenneth raised his eyes to look at Jared.
Jared was very handsome. He was wearing a pair of refined gold-rimmed glasses. He took a sip of the
red wine in his hand and looked forward, "See who that is?"
Kenneth raised his head to look up and quickly saw a delicate figure. It was Arabella.
There was also a man beside Arabella. It was Nolan, who had a big belly.
"Shit," Randall slammed the table and stood up, "Ken, why is Arabella drinking with an old man? How
could she have the guts to cheat on you?!"
Randall took a wine bottle and was about to rush forward. The prince from the Hudson family was a
famous bully in Hardgrad, "Ken, I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
