The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1115

Chapter 1115

There was a young woman standing amidst a field of sunflowers.

Gazing at the spectacular fireworks, many of the maids were taken aback. "Ms. Collins is truly blessed to have such a loving family around her."

In the grand finale of the firework display, scenes of five brothers and a sister were depicted: one brother holding an umbrella for the sister, another bending down to tie her shoelaces, one making her laugh, another presenting her with a bouquet, and the last one wielding a sword, seemingly protecting her.

The images vanished quickly with the smoke in the night sky, but Arabella's heart was deeply touched.

“Thank you, Hans, Chasel, Clark, David’ Arabella added, “and Sean:"

“Why thank him? We just included him to make up the numbers,’ said David, causing Arabella to burst into laughter.

“Alright, let's not stand around here. Let's go eat, Sampson suggested with a smile. "Tonight's wine is personally selected by Bella."

“Really? Then I'll drink it all, none of you can fight me for it,” declared David.

“Do you think you can handle it?" Hans chuckled. “Don't frighten Bella by getting drunk."

“Hans, how could you belittle me in front of Bella? Last time it was the vodka that made me...you know!"

As everyone walked towards the house, joking and laughing, Arabella quietly retreated to Clark's side, queried in a low voice "Clark, you are here. What about Carol?"

“I've left a few trusted people to watch over her. If something happens, they'll call me. After dinner, I'll go back"

“But there's a 12-hour time difference delay from here."

By the time he returned, Christmas Eve would be over.

“Before I came here, I spent the evening with her,’ Clark said, affectionately ruffling his sister's hair. "Thanks to the time difference, when I return, I'll just be in time to celebrate Christmas with her."

There would be nothing to miss in this way.
