Chapter 552

The chef watched as Mr. McMillan cradled Ms. Bella to sleep in his arms and wondered if his arms were getting tired.

But seeing the contentment and indulgence on Mr. McMillan’s face, he knew that he was thoroughly enjoying the moment.

Romeo signaled to the chef to fetch a blanket. The chef tiptoed away and returned with it. Romeo gently draped it over Arabella.

Inside the house, Louisa was checking the surveillance cameras. She found it odd that Romeo’s car had been parked outside for quite some time, yet Arabella hadn’t gotten out. She wondered if Arabella was upset and Romeo was comforting her, or if something else had happened.

“Ma’am, Ms. Bella is asleep. Mr. McMillan thought she was very tired, so he wanted her to sleep a bit longer before coming inside.”

Louisa nodded. “I see. I’ll have the kitchen prepare something for when Arabella wakes up. When she does, have Romeo come inside for dinner.”
