Chapter 181: Arabelle Is Dead
The sun was setting over the vast rolling landscape of the farm, casting a warm, golden glow on the tranquil scenery. Gabe’s car approached the gates slowly, the turn of lights grabbing the attention of the girl who sat on the porch.
As she spotted the familiar vehicle, she couldn’t contain her excitement. With an ecstatic grin, she sprinted across the field, her long hair trailing behind her like a comet.
"Gabe!", she called out his name happily as she reached him and leapt into his arms.
With a laugh, Gabe caught her effortlessly and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her close, Gabe looked into her sparkling eyes and kissed her forehead," Ari, you are positively glowing! I’ve missed you so much!"
Arabelle swatted at him and pouted," Liar! I missed you more! If you missed me, you wouldn’t go away on all these boring business trips only leaving Jay with me for company."
"Well, I can prove that I’ve missed you a lot! I’ve already arranged for most of my work to be transferred here. So, I won’t have to go on any trips for the foreseeable future and I can spend all my time serving my princess Ari."
Ari grinned up at this and squealed in delight," My Gabe is the best! Then we will have time to plan our wedding!"
Ari clasped Gabe’s hands and walked towards the house, her hands clasped in his naturally. "I’ve been designing a dress for the wedding. Even if its going to be just the two of us, I want to make a pretty dress. I’ve even designed one. Let me show it to you. By the way, do you want some tea? There’s a fresh pot brewing..."
Gabe sat and watched Ari her with a fond smile, admiring the way she moved with grace and an air of carefree innocence. Her body language was a testament to her simple joy and unfiltered love for life. She skipped around the room, her enthusiasm infectious, and set about making tea with an array of colorful tea cups. This was the Arabelle of the past and yet not.
