My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3
At this time, there came a knock on the door and the butler Bryson's voice from outside the door, "Mr. Lucero."
Kenneth said lightly, "Come in."
Bryson pushed the door open and walked in, "Mr. Lucero, Mrs. Lucero... what to do with her?"
Kenneth was standing by the bed. He looked tall and handsome in a white shirt and black trousers.
Kenneth lowered his eyes and skillfully flipped the shiny silver button on the sleeve of his shirt with his fingers. He glanced at Arabella casually and said, "You don't know yet, but there are two wolves in the backyard of Floweret Garden. How about... I throw you in to feed them?"
Arabella's heart tensed. This marriage was arranged by the older generation. There were four giants in Hardgrad, the Lucero family, the Gallagher family, the Hudson family, and the Spencer family.
The young master of the Lucero family was most powerful. Legend had it that he was the youngest and most handsome business tycoon, but no one had seen his face. He was quite mysterious.
The Floweret Garden was located in a remote place, and it was not a wealthy family at first glance. The Snyder family had sent someone to investigate the Floweret Garden, only to find out that there was a young man and his grandmother living in Floweret Garden, and the young man was the legendary ghostly husband who was terminally ill.
Caitlin's biggest wish was to marry her two daughters into the four giants of Hardgrad, but she had never expected to marry her daughter into Floweret Garden. Caitlin wanted to ask the deceased older generation of the Snyder family how they had arranged this ghostly marriage.
Caitlin didn't want her daughter to marry into such a family, but Seth was a traditional and filial son and he was unwilling to break the marriage contract made by the older generation.
Her daughter certainly wouldn't marry into such a family. Caitlin thought of Arabella, so she took her back home and married her into the Lucero family instead.
So as far as Arabella knew, the man in front of her was not a dignitary. But at this moment she felt confused.
The man standing in front of her looked proud, cold, and noble like a king.
He raised wolves in the backyard, which was not entertainment for ordinary people.
Arabella wanted to say something, but he suddenly put his hands on the table and narrowed his eyes lightly in pain.
The butler's expression changed greatly, and he said quickly, "Mr. Lucero, I'm going to call the doctor now!"
Arabella's eyes moved down and found the two big hands he was resting on the table had blue veins, which looked like a symptom of an illness.
Was he sick?
Moreover, it was a terrible disease.
At this moment, Arabella met his narrow scarlet eyes. Kenneth turned to look at her, and said to the butler, "Get her out of here!"
The butler said quickly, "Mrs. Lucero, you'd better hurry up and leave."
Arabella knew she couldn't go. This time she had returned to the Snyder family with a purpose, and she needed the status of the bride of Floweret Garden.
Arabella looked at Kenneth with clear eyes, without the slightest dodging, "You are sick. What is it? I know a little about medicine, and I am good at acupuncture. I think I can treat you."
Kenneth pursed his lips coldly, and almost shouted, "Get out!"
Arabella not only did not go out but approached him, "I smelled Lili Bulbus, Poria Cocos, Gastrodia elate Blume, and other precious medicinal herbs on you just now. These are all traditional medicines for the treatment of... insomnia. If I guessed correctly, you should have a sleep disorder that keeps you awake at night."
The butler looked at Arabella in shock and said, "Mrs. Lucero, you..."
Arabella's eyes fell on Kenneth's handsome face and she said, "How far is your sleep disorder? Once the sleep disorder progresses, it will seriously affect a person's mental state. When your body is exhausted to the extreme, but cannot rest and relax, it will trigger another self in your body, a gloomy, grumpy, scary, and almost morbid self."
Kenneth's long and narrow eyes became redder and redder, and his handsome eyebrows were now covered with a gloomy air. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Arabella's neck.
Her neck was very delicate. As long as he squeezed it lightly, she would die.
"Mrs. Lucero, don't irritate Mr. Lucero anymore! Mr. Lucero, let go of Mrs. Lucero!" The butler almost rushed over anxiously.
The fresh air she could breathe became thinner and thinner. Arabella's face slowly flushed, but she turned her wrist and quickly stabbed a silver needle into Kenneth's acupuncture point.
Kenneth let go and sat down on the sofa.
Arabella gasped for breath. She didn't want to die here when she came back this time. She had been afraid just now.
The man in front of her was too dangerous. Apart from his mysterious identity, his sleep disorder alone could turn him from an elegant and noble man into a monster at any time.
However, she had no choice but to take a chance.
Arabella adjusted her breath and came behind him. Then she lifted her slender fingers to his temples and massaged him.
Kenneth closed his eyes and said, "Your treatment is to massage me?"
"You're welcome. You are the first man I've massaged."
"Well, you're not the first woman to have the pleasure of giving me a massage too."
She felt speechless.
"Let me stay and we can live in peace. You don't ask me about my personal affairs and I can help you put on a show in front of your grandma. I can also help you treat insomnia. What do you think?"
Kenneth didn't speak.
Kenneth closed his eyes and slumped into the sofa as Arabella pushed a slender silver needle into the acupuncture point in Kenneth's brain.
Arabella quickly reached out and gently caught his handsome face as he fell.
He fell asleep.
The butler on one side was already in a cold sweat. Mr. Lucero was the young master of the Lucero family, a privileged and excellent young man who had been running the Lucero Group successfully.
No one had ever dared to negotiate with Mr. Lucero... let alone a girl.
All the girls who had been lucky enough to meet Mr. Lucero over the years were all big admirers of him. They fell in love with and yearned for him, and wanted to throw themselves into his arms.
Mrs. Lucero in front of him was so special. Even in front of the sick Mr. Lucero, she was calm and intelligent.
What was even more surprising was that Mr. Lucero fell asleep!
Mr. Lucero hadn't slept in a long time!
The masters who had treated Mr. Lucero's insomnia were all the best ones in the world, but they had all proved themselves useless. Yet Mr. Lucero fell asleep in Mrs. Lucero's palm!
"Mrs. Lucero..." the butler said.
Arabella put her finger on her lips and made a "shh" gesture, "You can go out. I'm here."
The butler somehow felt that Mrs. Lucero had a reassuring power, and he obediently left.
...
The room was silent.
Arabella let him rest in her palm for a moment. When he fell into a deep sleep, she put him on the sofa and covered him with a blanket.
After doing all this, Arabella went to bed with her clothes on and fell asleep.
At this moment, Kenneth on the sofa slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Kenneth got up, walked to the bed, and removed the veil from Arabella's face.
