Chapter 109 Obeying Her
“Luke is getting married?!”
“With who?!”
“When did that happen!?”
The couple asked in complete bafflement, exchanging worried glances, firmly believing it to be a rumor.
Luke, who was just here a few days ago for closure now seeking a new partner? It was too good to swallow.
“Yes. With Peach Harrison.”
“Peach?”
Now they found it even harder to accept. Peach, the person he neglected, he never paid heed to, now suddenly marrying?
“I just heard the news. You didn’t know? How astonishing. He called me himself and invited me. Unlike you,”
But acting proficient Liyah continued, flipping her hair arrogantly.
Nervous, they didn’t know how to react to the news. The fact she didn’t know about the lore was blatant.
She was absolutely gleeful at the successor of the Galaxy Chain being married into their household.
“Uh…”
Noticing William’s daze, Arabella played along, having a slightest idea why he must be doing this.
She caught the idea behind his actions and faked a smile, waving it towards William to shrug it off.
“William, he must be planning to surprise you.” Ending in a stern look, her eyes sourly stopped at Liyah.
“I guess your Auntie spoiled it,”
William glared at her to not do that but she held an unbothered expression.
“I see… Bless him. May he finds all his peace and happiness in his marriage,”
Relaxing eventually, believing it to be for the best, William ended in a gentle smile, praying wholeheartedly for his brother.
Seeing his calmness, Liyah narrowed her eyes, finding no sign of regret of marrying a ‘low’ girl and ordered strictly.
“William, set up my room,”
“Yes, Auntie,”
“I will help you-”
Arabella got up as well, to get some alone time with William to know the ordeal of his Aunt, but she didn’t allow it.
“No need, Dear, he knows how to set my things elegantly. I don’t know if you can. Let him do it,”
“Yeah, you stay with Auntie, Bella. I will be back in a moment,”
Gritting her teeth, she inclined back on her seat with her arms folded at her chest. William was setting the room, Arabella held a grimace on her features.
Liyah smirked at her distressful expression, crossing her legs elegantly, resting her cheek over her knuckles while teasing her.
“Shocked?”
Arabella corrected her, “Jealous,”
“Stay jealous. You woman of yesterday couldn’t do anything. Your husband blindly obeys me,” She smirked victoriously.
“Is that an attempt to degrade me?”
“Yes.”
Arabella kept a bored face, sparing a cold, piercing glance at the woman but held her emotions at bay for the time being.
She heard from Helena how devoted William was to this woman.
“What a low-class, miserable choice he had made. I didn’t come myself. I didn’t want to interact with you.” She scoffed, glaring at her.
“Neither do I,”
The disapproval was crystal-clear in her eyes but since when Arabella cared about it? She had been receiving these looks from the start.
Everyone used to say ‘Make friends of your caliber, Helena’. Yet she never broke her friendship.
She accepted being shameless for William
“I knew you’d find yourself in the skies after marrying a rich, successful man like him. That is exactly why I am here,” Liyah enunciated.
“Hmm?”
The wicked glimpse indicated she knew nothing about their bonding. She believed William married the wrong woman.
“To throw you to the ground and remind you of your place. It itches my eyes when something is out of the place,” Liyah declared, pinching the bridge of her nose in disappointment.
“William hasn’t learned anything from the life lessons I gave him. He needs a stern reminder again to not crave something unworthy again,”
“How are you going to do it?” Intrigued, Arabella asked.
“Don’t worry, I have a lot of time to show you,”
“Fine. Play. This very floor is nothing but a fucking playground for everyone after all,” She groaned, considering their whole family cracked from the head.
“Language, Lady,”
Both ladies had a competitive glaring competition.
Before Arabella had the open hand to make William obsessed with her, she could have done everything she wanted, thanks to Helena.
But, today, stood a challenge before her. Determined to throw the slap of failure on her face. Will she be able to do this time too?
She will find out for herself.
She knew he was all she had left to cling onto.
How could she desert or be deserted by him?
Before Arabella could do something, William came with his usual charming smile, “Done, Auntie,”
“Also, Son, my milk,”
“Yes, I will prepare it,”
Frowning at the dedication which was meant for Arabella given to someone else, Arabella couldn’t help but to ask strictly.
“Is this some special milk?”
“Just warm milk with honey,” William replied nonchalantly.
“William,”
“Yes?”
“Make a glass for me too,”
“Sure, Bella,”
“Thanks. I am in the room,” Smirking, she waved her hand at him and was about to enter her room.
Chuckling, hoping to continue their broken moment, he waved back at her.
“Okay, I will join you in a moment,”
“You won’t stay with me?” Liyah interrupted.
“You must be tired. You should drink your milk and sleep. Don’t exert yourself already. Relax, right, William?” Arabella smirked.
“Yeah, Auntie,” William nodded in agreement.
“Hmph,” Scoffing, she went to her room furiously.
When she was gone, Arabella approached her man again, placing her hand over his back, tracing it down his spine, sending an electric spark to his core.
Smirking victoriously when he swayed, she tiptoed and cooed in his ears, swaying the man instantly to her winds.
“I am waiting for my milk along with my man, is that understood?”
“Yes, Ma’am,”
“Good boy,” Blowing a kiss at him, she pushed her hair to the back, grazing him in the air, halting his whole being.
Gracefully leaving for the room, William was compelled to stare at her in mesmerization with one thought.
‘I don’t know what are you trying to do, Bella, but I will enjoy your newest trick to the fullest extent,’
