Chapter 229
His mouth tightened into a thin line. With a gloomy face, Kenneth turned the phone off directly.
Meanwhile, Kenneth's grandmother said to Arabella on the phone, "OK, Arabella! Don't worry. I can take care of myself. Just go enjoy tonight with Kenneth. I hope you two have a wonderful night so I can see my great-grandson earlier."
As expected, Kenneth's grandmother again mentioned the great-grandson.
Arabella hung up the phone with a blushing face.
Soon the Rolls-Royce was parked on the lawn, and Kenneth got out of the car and took Arabella into a villa.
It was a European style villa that was decorated in an understated and luxurious way as Kenneth's usual preference and taste.
They went upstairs and entered the bedroom. Kenneth pointed at some stuff and said, "Your birthday presents from your friend. I had someone to send them over. You can go and open the presents now." Arabella quickly ran over and first opened one box. Inside the box was a bonsai.
Arabella widened her eyes. This was the legendary plant that she had told Rebecca some time ago, Mandala...
Mandala, which was said to grow in hell with a black rootstock, but its flowers were fantastically red.
Arabella had seen the Mandala flower in medical books, but it was nowhere near as shocking as seeing it with her own eyes, and she was even more shocked that Rebecca had actually gotten the Mandala. This Mandala was estimated to be less than two plants in the world, and when Rebecca patted her chest and promised to get one Mandala for her, Arabella thought she was just kidding, but now Rebecca really made it.
There was still a note in the box, written by Rebecca. "Arabella, happy birthday. I finally cultivated the Mandala and sent it to you on your birthday. Just be careful. Mandala is really very poisonous. I accidentally suffered from Mandala poisoning, but don't worry. I have planted the Saussurea to detoxify my body. Remember, be careful when you use it."
Arabella read the note carefully, and she was so shocked. "God, who the hell is Rebecca? She cultivated the Mandala? Besides, she also could plant the Saussurea as she wanted?"
Arabella suddenly remembered that Rebecca liked planting flowers and plants the most, and she had many pots. Could the plants in those pots be all rare herbs?
Arabella really wanted to see Rebecca and ask her about it now, but she couldn't. She put the Mandala away carefully. Mr. Lucero's illness was serious, and now with the Mandala, she must begin to test the poison and refine the medicine tomorrow.
Arabella opened another box, which was from Aurora.
What birthday gift would Aurora give to her?
Inside the box were many things.
Aurora also left a note. "Arabella, happy birthday. I hope that Mr. Lucero will like those things."
Arabella quickly covered the box and blushed with shyness. She turned around and looked at Kenneth.
Kenneth just took off his black coat and now he was only wearing a white shirt with black pants. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lowered his head, and elegantly unlocked his silver-buckled sleeves. The black belt bundled his waist tightly, and below the black belt was his long and strong legs. He looked really very handsome and sexy.
Arabella was a bit shy. She couldn't help but think of the stuff that Aurora sent to her, as she quietly and evasively looked down at Kenneth's legs. Suddenly, Kenneth's low magnetic voice sounded in her ears, "Mrs. Lucero, what are you looking at?"
Arabella was startled. She quickly looked up and immediately met Kenneth's deep gaze. She had no idea when he had looked over.
