My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Leave Him Alone
“Someone like me?” She asked, confusion etched in her expression. “What do you mean by someone like me, Mom?” Arabella added, feeling hurt this time around.

Her mother and father exchanged a look when she realized she had worded her words wrongly.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized. “But you know our status is way below Xander’s status. He’s from a rich family, and I can assure you that the rich people have nothing to do with us the poor people.”

The woman tried to make Arabella understand how risky it was for her—who was a complete nobody to date a man—whose family was one of the richest families in their city.

Arabella completely understood where her mother was coming from. She was no child to think the rich people lived in peace just because they had all the money they could get.

They also have enemies like the poor people—like her, and they don’t want anything to do with poor people…

Xander had asked her to be his girlfriend on their date and she’d gladly given him a positive answer without thinking about the differences in their family status.

“If Xander doesn’t care about my status, then why should I worry, mother?” She asked.

“You are not understanding what we’re saying, darling.” Her father interrupted, heavier worry etched on his face. “We completely understand that you’re a teenager and you want to experience love and being loved. It’s completely normal. However, sharing such an intimate relationship with someone like Xander—whose father I’m sure wouldn’t be happy with the news when the boy discloses it to his father you both are dating—will only bring you trouble.”

“I just feel like something bad might happen if you two don’t break what you have now before it’s too late,” said her mother and she subconsciously started crying. Arabella gently wiped off the tears on her mother’s cheeks and smiled. “You’re our only child and we don’t want to lose you.”

“You don’t have to worry about any of that, mother. Xander and I both know what we want. Besides, he’s the one I’m dating, not his parents…” She tried to assure them, but it was obvious from the look they were giving her, they didn’t relax one bit.

If anything, their worries only grew.

The living room fell in silence as they glanced at each other.

“Why’s everyone looking at themselves like that?”

They suddenly heard someone question from the door, and they were surprised to see Maxwell standing at their front door with a chocolate box in his hand and a food container in the other.

The living room was so quiet enough that they should have heard him coming in. Yet still, they didn’t.

“And Aunty, why are you crying?” He asked as he dropped the chocolate box and food container and rushed over to Arabella’s mother. “What did you do to make her cry now?” He questioned Bella.

Although he tried to ignore it, he could feel the heavy air in the living room as if some terrible argument had just occurred.

Maxwell was Arabella’s cousin from her father’s side and he lived just across the street with his parents.

“Can you talk some sense into your cousin? She’s dating Xander and—”

“Mother, I’m not going to break up with Xander just because of our family’s different status. We only started dating today and it would be weird if I just texted him saying I want to break up with him,” Arabella told her mother.

“Wait…you and Xander are already dating?” Maxwell questioned with a louder voice that got all heads to turn to him. “You know the kind of reputation he has in school, Arabella. Why would you go and date him?”

Arabella sighed, already tired of the conversation.

“I’m tired, I’m going to go to sleep now,” she said and left for her room.

As soon as she disappeared behind her doors, Maxwell faced Arabella’s mother.

“She’s dating that guy?” He asked.

Arabella’s mother nodded in response. “She is, and I’m worried something might happen to her when the boy’s family finds out about it.”

Maxwell frowned slightly.

Arabella’s mom sighed before she parted her lips to explain her worry and Maxwell’s frown only deepened.

“That’s not possible, Aunty. I’ve met Mr and Mrs Wallace personally myself and they don’t seem like the ones to think in such a way, especially Mr Wallace himself,” he explained as he chuckled lightly.

Since Maxwell was closer to Xavier than Xander, it was only normal that he’d been invited to the boy’s mansion sometime to hang out.

“I think you’re thinking too much about this, Aunty. Xander is a good guy despite his shenanigans sometimes, and I’m sure he will take care of Arabella. You’re worrying for nothing,” he assured her, and she smiled at him.

If only he knew that the worry was still placed in the woman’s heart.

Arabella was in her room as she worried about her mother’s words.

She’s seen in movies where the family of the rich guy wouldn’t want their son to have to do anything with the girl. But this wasn’t a movie…it was reality.

Arabella took off her bracelets as she recalled Xander glancing around places, probably trying to find out who could be watching them.

Arabella was not immune to stares—so she was able to sense someone watching them from the park to the restaurant and then back home.

But she’d pretended not to be alert to not spoil their first date.

A smile graced her lips when she remembered how he pecked her cheeks. Realizing she was smiling like a fool, she quickly shook her head to get rid of the butterfly that fluttered inside her belly.

Then her phone suddenly vibrated with a message from someone.

Arabella picked it up, wondering if it was Xander.

However, it wasn’t him.

It was a text from an unknown number who boldly wrote out the words: LEAVE HIM ALONE IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU!!
