True Heiress Returns to Her Unemployed Rich Family (Arabella) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Frank Returns Home

“Are you sure?” Naomi could hardly believe what she was hearing.

I’m sure,” Florence replied in a comforting tone

But the more Naomi thought about it, the more it didn’t add up.

Normally, when she went out of her way to greet Matthew, he barely acknowledged her. Yet today, at Hamilton Manor, he had spoken to Arabella first. Given his usual reserved nature, he wouldn’t have initiated a greeting with a stranger unless they were already acquainted.

“Mom, I’m heading out. I won’t be home for dinner, Naomi said abruptly, turning toward the

door.

Florence watched her with concern. “Where are you off to**

“I’m going to see Ruby

“Alright, but please be back at a reasonable hour

“I will.”

Florence sighed softly once Naomi was gone.

If only the Stewarts had two sons…

Then even if things didn’t work out with Matthew, there might still be someone for Naomi.

But as things stood, she would simply have to come to terms with reality…

Once outside, Naomi pulled out her phone and called Ruby.

“Naomi, are you back from Hamilton Manor?” Ruby guessed as soon as she answered.

Naomi had mentioned her visit earlier, so Ruby figured she’d be calling once she was free.

“Where are you right now?” Naomi asked, her tone unmistakably downcast.

Tm at home,” Ruby replied gently, already sensing Naomi’s mood.

Okay, I’m coming over, Naomi said before hanging up.

Ruby stared at her phone, puzzled.

Why did Naomi suddenly want to meet? What had happened?

Feeling low, Naomi got into her car and drove off, not noticing another vehicle pulling into the driveway just as she left.

Inside that car, Frank Hamilton watched Naomi’s car pass by, a slight frown forming on his face.

Didn’t Naomi see me arriving? Why is she leaving in such a hurry?

Normally, she’d come out to greet him the moment he returned. The fact that she hadn’t even noticed him was unusual. Something must be bothering her.

After getting out of the car, Frank glanced once more in the direction Naomi had gone, then shook his head and headed inside.

Moments later, his tall frame appeared in the living room.

When Florence saw her eldest son, her face immediately brightened, and she walked over to him.

“Frank, you’re back! Why didn’t you let us know?

Frank set aside his usual business demeanor and offered Florence a warm smile. “I just got in. Wanted it to be a surprise.

“By the way, I saw Naomi driving out just now,” he remarked, his eyebrow lifting slightly in question.

“Yes, she went to see Ruby,” Florence said, deciding not to mention Naomi’s upset for the time being.

He had just returned, and she didn’t want to burden him with family worries right away.

“I see,” Frank replied, not giving it further thought once he knew Naomi was with Ruby.

“Come sit down. I have some wonderful news for you,” Florence said, unable to contain her excitement.

Frank noted her happy expression and asked curiously, “What’s made you so cheerful?”

“Your sister–your biological sister–has been found!” Just speaking the words filled Florence with joy.

“Really?” Surprise flashed in Frank’s eyes, but being perceptive, he quickly connected the dots. “Was it Alfred who brought her home?”

Alfred usually visited every couple of months, but his return this time was unexpectedly early.
