Maybe Crystal will find a few varieties she likes and can take some back to cultivate." Clark could only respond, "I promised my sister, Bella, that | would take a walk with her, right, Bella?" Arabella was speechless.
Since when? Clark's pleading gaze fell upon Arabella.
Louisa was half-skeptical, "Didn't you just finish walking with your sister?" "No worries, | can accompany Bella for a walk too; Crystal chimed in, causing Clark to pause in surprise.
"Well, then you guys should get going. I'll have the staff turn on the garden lights,” Louisa urged.

Arabella nodded, taken aback by Crystal's warm demeanor, "It's been fine." "I heard you used to live in Summerfield, too. It's been ages since my last visit. Maybe we could go shopping together sometime?" "Bella is quite busy." Clark came to her aid, "Between school, other commitments, and a fiancé who needs her attention." "What about you then?" Crystal looked up at him, hopeful.
"I'm rather busy myself." "Well, we can always plan a date once you're both free,” Crystal maintained her hold on Arabella's hand, grinning, "We can go shopping and try out some delicious local food." "Sure; Arabella agreed just as her phone began to vibrate, "Excuse me, | need to take this call." Clark wanted to tell her not to answer it, but seeing that the caller was Romeo, he could only plead with his eyes for her to return as soon as possible after the call.
Arabella found the whole situation amusing. Was Clark intentionally avoiding Crystal? Was he not interested in her? "So Clark, what have you been up to lately?" Crystal took the initiative again. "I heard there have been fewer criminal cases recently." "I've been spending time with my sister." "I understand young girls quite well. Next time you two go out, you can invite me along. | promise to make sure Bella has a great time." "You really plan to return and settle down here?" Clark asked again.
"Yes, this place is my home. | was always planning to return." Clark didn't know what to say to her. As he was in deep thought, Crystal asked again, "Do you guys have any plans for tomorrow?" "Not sure yet." "What does Bella like?" Crystal continued to inquire, "Are there any places she's been wanting to visit? Or anything she's particularly interested in?" Clark was stumped by the sudden barrage of questions.
"Don't tell me you don't even know what your sister likes?" In Clark's memory, the only thing that genuinely piqued Bella's interest was Romeo. Only when Romeo's name was mentioned did her eyes light up. No one else or anything else could stir a ripple in her heart.
"It seems like you don't know much. I'll ask her myself later on."
