It was not a big deal to Arabella, so she really didn't understand why everyone had such a great Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
reaction.
Sharon was stunned for a moment and quickly accepted it. She thought, "It's indeed unexpected, but
upon careful consideration, it does make sense. After all, how can Helena's daughter be an ordinary
girl?"
Sharon affectionately patted Arabella's small hand and said, "Bella, you really surprised me. Do you
have anything else hiding from me?"
Arabella spat out her tongue and said aggrievedly with coquetry, "Grandma, I don't know what you
really want to hear from me. I'm really not acquainted with Jenna, and I haven't studied at Saint Medical
College, so there's nothing to talk about. As for other things and people, I really think there is no need
to mention them to you."
Hearing this, Sharon knew that Arabella must be hiding something else from her, something that might
be as unimportant to a girl of Arabella's talent as her relationship with Jenna but a secret in the eyes of
others.
Sharon suddenly noticed the glory emanating from Arabella, Helena's daughter, who was like a pearl
and had been shining since she was a kid.
Sharon clenched Arabella's small hand and exclaimed, "A 15-year-old postdoc. No wonder Jenna said
that you have set a new historical record in the entire medical field. Jenna has a very high standard,
and you are probably the first girl she likes."
After saying that, Sharon looked at Kenneth and said somewhat angrily, "Ken, you're really lucky. Bella
is so excellent. You must be very nice to her in the future."
Arabella looked up at Kenneth, who was standing in the living room, tall and long-legged. With his eyes
lowered, he was casually loosening the silver button on his shirt sleeve. When he heard that, he raised
his head, and his deep, narrow eyes fell on Arabella.
Their eyes met, and Kenneth quickly looked away. "Grandma, I have to go to the study to deal with
some documents."
With that, Kenneth moved his long legs and went upstairs.
Watching his tall and straight figure disappear from sight, Arabella lowered her small head and said,
"Grandma, I want to go upstairs as well."
"Okay, go ahead. Take a shower and come down to dinner. The dishes Ms. Sally is cooking today are
all your favorites," said Sharon as she smiled kindly.
...
In the study.
Kenneth was sitting in the chair with a cigarette between his slender fingers, and documents scattered
on his desk. He paid no attention to the documents. Instead, he was smoking with his brows and eyes
drooped.
Soon, a layer of cigarette butts fell into the ashtray. Kenneth got up and went out to the bedroom door.
He placed his big hand on the handle and wanted to push the door open, but he suddenly paused.
Kenneth stood silently outside for a while, then took his coat and went out.
Sharon saw it in the living room and quickly stopped him, "Ken, where are you going so late?"
With his handsome eyelids lowered, Kenneth said indifferently in a low, magnetic voice, "I have to go to
the company and deal with something urgent. Grandma, I won't come back tonight."
"You don't have to tell me that you're not coming back tonight. Did you tell Bella?"
Kenneth pursed his thin lips and didn't speak.
"Did Tyrone take a liking to Bella?" Sharon had a keen eye, and she could tell at a glance that there
was something wrong between Arabella and Kenneth. After a moment's deduction, she guessed what
had happened.
Kenneth looked at Sharon and said, "I'm not sure. It should be so."
