However, seeing an imposing, spirited figure, Arabella Vanderbilt was instantly stunned, her face feeling scalding hot as if it were on fire.
Her mind froze and cramped as she looked up at Joel Russo, only to find his deep, dark eyes gazing intensely at her.
His tense expression made Arabella inexplicably feel a bit guilty, "You... okay? Does something feel off?"
She asked cautiously.
She was eager yet afraid to hear the answer.
Hopefully, nothing's really wrong!
She nervously swallowed, involuntarily flicking her dry lips with her tongue.
This subtle gesture, in Joel Russo's view, was simply adding fuel to the fire.
The deep darkness of his eyes instantly dimmed, and his arm around Arabella's waist tightened involuntarily.
Arabella clearly felt an unusual change in her hand.
Surprised, she looked down, her eyes nearly bulging out.
How did this...
My goodness!
Arabella could hardly describe her feelings at that moment.
"You... you, calm down..."
