It seemed the reason they’d never succeeded before was that they hadn’t found the right approach.

“Well, you’re really something. All of us tried for years to get Grandpa to quit, and managed it right after coming home. That’s pretty remarkable,” Ethan said, looking at her with genuine admiration.

“What was it like for you at the Macdonald’s before?” he asked curiously.

“It was… okay, I suppose. Aside from Edward, who showed me some kindness, the others… Well, it doesn’t matter anymore,” Arabella replied. She didn’t care about them now, but bringing it up still left a faint sting.

“So you weren’t happy there all those years?” Ethan sensed from her tone that life had likely been difficult.

“It’s in the past. Let’s not talk about them anymore,” Arabella said, not wanting to dwell on people who no longer mattered.

Seeing she didn’t wish to revisit old memories, Ethan reassured her, “It’s alright. You have us now. No one will ever make you unhappy again.”

But inwardly, he was thinking. What kind of family were the Macdonalds to have treated his sister this way? He made a mental note to look into it later.

“By the way, Ethan, do you know Matthew? Is he into collecting antiques too?” Arabella suddenly thought of Matthew and wondered why such a busy CEO would appear at Hilde’s Auction.

“Matthew? I’ve never heard he collects. Why do you ask?” Ethan looked at her curiously.

“I thought I saw him at Hilde’s today. Just wondering,” she replied.

“Oh, you might’ve been mistaken. He’s usually swamped–probably doesn’t have time for auctions,” Ethan said with certainty.

So it seemed Matthew wasn’t a collector. Then why was he there?

Suddenly, she remembered the invitation Andy had delivered to Suite Seven. A thought struck her–Could he have been there to meet Marla, just as Andy had guessed?

No, that couldn’t be it. Someone as busy as him must have had another reason.

“Maybe I was wrong,” Arabella conceded.

“Ethan, do you know what projects Matthew’s company has been working on lately?” she asked.

“Him… Arabella, why are you so interested in his business?” Ethan caught on and studied her face.

“I’m treating Robert, and I hear about Matthew often. After a while, you can’t help but curious,” Arabella offered, grasping for a plausible excuse.

Ethan frowned slightly. “It’s not easy to explain his operations in a few words. But you should keep your distance. He’s known for being difficult. Try not to get involved with him.”

Suddenly, Ethan looked at her with concern. “He hasn’t given you any trouble, has he? If he has, you need to tell me.”

“No, not at all. We hardly speak. How could he cause me trouble?” Arabella reassured him.

“Good,” Ethan said, exhaling softly.

“Have you checked out the company Grandpa and Dad gave you?” Ethan had overheard them discussing it earlier.

“So you heard about that too. Not yet–the paperwork is still processing. I plan to visit when I have time,” Arabella told him.

“Alright. If you need any help, just let me know,” Ethan said warmly.

“I will.”

About an hour later, Ethan asked, “How much longer until we get there?”

“Almost there.”

“I didn’t realize you used to live somewhere so far out.”

As he spoke, Arabella pulled the car over.

Thinking they’d arrived, Ethan moved to open his door.

“Ethan, why don’t you wait here and relax? I’ll go check and be right back,” Arabella said, stepping out.

Seeing her leave, Ethan got out as well. “Arabella, Mor You can’t just leave me in the car.”

Dad asked me to come with you.
