All Chapters of The Arrogant Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The table in the pavilion was small, so everyone sat close to each other. The elders sat on the left and the others on the right. Since seats were scarce, Flynn shared with Amber. At the far end sat Chris, then Ruby, Nina, and finally Theo. Ruby expected to sit next to her friend, but Chris surprised her by moving from his mother’s side to hers.“Can Flynn eat this, Paula? I saw the color of the pasta, and it looks rather spicy,” Ruby began to worry about the only child in the group.“Don’t worry, Ruby. I asked Penny to make a separate dish for him. There, she’s bringing it now.” Paula pointed toward her housekeeper, who carried over special pasta for the child.“Thank you, Grandma,” Flynn said, expressing his gratitude to Penny.“How adorable. Eat plenty, okay? I made this with all my heart,” Penny said, praising Flynn.“Yes,” Flynn replied, then turned to look at Ruby as if asking whether he could start eating.“Go ahead, Flynn. Eat as much as you want,” Ruby said, as though sh

On the pavilion, Paula was sitting and watching everyone enjoy themselves in the water, while Amber sat chatting with her. Penny also served chilled bael juice on the table to quench their thirst.“Amber, I felt like my family came alive again today.”“Why do you say that, Paula? Isn’t your family usually happy already?”“You talk as if you don’t know. We have everything, yet it still feels like something is missing. Today I saw Ruby and Chris playing in the water together again. Do you know what I was thinking?”“What is it?” Amber tilted her head, not understanding what the other woman meant.“I was thinking about arranging an engagement between Ruby and Chris, Amber.”“Engagement?” Amber was stunned and straightened in her seat, casting her eyes toward the swimming pool.“You didn’t hear me wrong, Amber. My son has been through a great deal. He has had many lovers in the past, yet he has never settled down with anyone. I truly wanted Ruby to be my daughter-in-law, Amber,” Pau

“Mom, is something wrong? Why do you look so tense?” Ruby asked, noticing that her mother’s demeanor was different from usual.“Paula came over. She’s waiting downstairs right now.”“Really? Did something happen?”“Ruby, Paula said that Chris has agreed to an engagement with you.” As Amber spoke, she studied her daughter’s expression and found that Ruby was just as shocked as she was.“Engaged? Why would Chris do that, Mom?” The young woman, who had hoped to soon put her feelings to rest, now found herself more confused than ever.“Paula said that at first Chris refused, but when she mentioned giving Theo the engagement instead, Chris changed his mind.” Her mother’s words made Ruby turn to look at her in bewilderment. Why? Why did it have to stir her feelings all over again?“I know you’ve been trying to get over Chris, but this… sigh… I don’t even know what to make of it. He doesn’t love you, but he refuses to let anyone else have you? Is that it?” Amber could not make sense of

Tonight, Theo went out to a pub with his latest female companion. He was always careful whenever he went out with these women. They all just wanted fun, with no thought of commitment, and it would remain that way forever, as long as he hadn’t met the right person, or anyone he truly wanted to end up with.“Is something wrong today, Theo? You look stressed,” the beautiful woman beside him asked, noticing that he wasn’t being as flirtatious as usual.“Just a little something on my mind, Mila. Don’t worry about it,” “How can I not worry? I came out with you; I want to make you feel comfortable, not sit here with your brow furrowed like this. Can you tell me, my handsome man?” Mila looked at him with sweet, pleading eyes, hoping her overwhelming feminine charm would coax him out of the pub and onto a bed somewhere easily. She didn’t want him to drink so heavily that he couldn’t satisfy her properly.“Mila, if you want to go home early, then go ahead. I can sit here alone,” he said, bu

Chris walked up and pressed the doorbell at Amber’s house, and the person who came to open it was none other than his fiancée. Ruby looked at him and was slightly startled because she also had guests at that moment—the father and son, who had just returned from an outing, had stopped by to give her some souvenirs.“Uh, Flynn and I will head back now. We’ve been disturbing you for quite a long time.” Tucker held his son’s hand as they came to say goodbye at the doorway. He gave Chris a small nod, which Chris returned with a nod of his own.“You two can stay a little longer if you want. You’re not bothering me at all.”“I’ll come visit again another day. Enjoy the snacks, Ruby.”“Yes, thank you again for the gifts, Tucker.”“I’ll be going now, Ruby.”“Okay, my handsome boy.” Ruby bent down to kiss chubby little Flynn on the cheek and waved goodbye until they were out of sight.“You seem really close with them,” Chris remarked casually as she was closing the door.“They’re just ne
