"You just need to sit here and behave."
Arabella Vanderbilt frowned at him, but he had already turned away. He then came over with a tray holding a cup of water and a lid containing medicine granules.
"You should take your medicine first."
Arabella didn't refuse; she took it and drank the medicine under Joel Russo's watchful eyes.
"Very good."
Joel seemed to especially enjoy toying with her hair today; he ruffled the top of her head before turning and leaving.
Arabella saw him sit back down in the chair and pick up the white porridge from the tray, eating gracefully and pleasing to the eye.
Everything about him screamed nobility, even eating had to be this... attractive?
Arabella sat curled up on the sofa, her hands propped on her knees, quietly watching Joel eat.
Joel calmly finished the porridge and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"Do you never lower your head?"
Arabella couldn't help but suddenly blurt out the question.
