Chapter 190
Arabella just said that Kenneth was her lawful husband.
Elise was so stunned that she suddenly jumped up from her chair. She looked at Arabella unbelievably. What was Arabella exactly talking about?
But Mr. Gilbert on the telephone wasn't surprised at all, as medical researchers just had no interest in those private gossips, "Well, good. I don't know Mr. Lucero has such a great eye. But Bella, just don't be too sentimental. We are going to do something big. As for men, to be with them for fun was all right. It is merely something worldly."
Elise, "..."
Arabella gave the phone back to Elise who was dumbfounded. The latter found that Mr. Gilbert restored his usual stern authority. How could he make a U-turn of his attitude so fast? "Well, Ms. Roth, you will have to deal with all those complexities in the Institute. And don't let anyone disturb Arabella. Do you understand?"
"Mr. Gilbert, I... I see."
Elise hung up the phone. She couldn't get back to herself for a long time. As those pieces of startling information just came one after another, she needed some time to take them all.
She took a good look at Arabella. However, she couldn't understand what magical power the girl in front of her had to have won such favor of Mr. Gilbert, nor did she know what happened between Arabella and Kenneth.
"Well, Arabella, you just said that Kenneth was your lawful husband. Then what is going on between you and the man in Floweret Garden?" Elise felt that her brain wasn't functioning enough to figure it out.
Arabella looked at Elise with her clear and bright eyes, "Ms. Roth, in fact it's rather simple. Everyone in Hardgrad knows that I marry into Floweret Garden, but none of them realizes that the owner of the Garden is exactly Kenneth!"
Oh god!
Elise was shocked. So the man with bad luck in Floweret Garden, who was incurably sick, was... Kenneth?
"Well, Arabella, it is so abrupt for me. I just can't trust your version of the story. Since you said that Mr. Lucero was your lawful husband, you will ask him to come here. I have to listen to what he himself says."
"All right."
Arabella took out her phone and dialed Kenneth's phone number.
As the melodious music of the telephone rang once, the phone was answered slowly. Kenneth's muffled and attractive voice came from the phone, "Miss me so soon?"
