Chapter 120: Boys Don't Cry

Hearing John, Arabella tripped the glass of her wine and it directly fell on the table with the wine scattered on the white cloth.

“Are you okay?” Damien’s voice was worried while picking up the glass.

“Uh...Yeah... Sorry. Don’t mind me. I am just a little clumsy sometimes.” Arabella let go of a smile but a fake one just to pacify the audience but her voice was staggering due to her shock.

How could she smile hearing Capital Z?

What a small world!

“Do you know someone in capital Z?” John looked at Arabella with a wide smile.

“No!” Arabella was almost shouting that made everyone stunned. “Sorry… I mean… I didn’t know anyone there.” She lied. There’s no point in bringing up her past to everyone. She already buried her dark past and there's no need to dig it out.

“Aunt Lira, are you going to leave us? Isn’t that country too far from our place? Can we visit you there?” Adam had sensed something different in his mom so he’s up for rescuing her.
