The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1195

Chapter 1195

"Do you think Mr. McMillian would side with his girlfriend, or would he adhere to his mother's advice and call it quits?"

“Who knows? I'm on pins and needles, just waiting for the next scene to unfold"

Romeo had just ordered a handful of dishes and was carrying them to the table when he heard the elevator ding. He looked up to see Jennifer stepping out, her designer handbag slung over her shoulder.

“Mom, what are you doing here?"

Arabella turned at the sound of his voice and was equally surprised.

Upon seeing Arabella, Jennifer's face lit up. She hurried over and enveloped her in a warm hug.

"My darling girl, what are you doing here? Did Romeo invite you?"

She had never expected to run into Arabella here!

“I had some free time today, so I came to see him;’ Arabella explained.

“You rascal, why didn't you pick her up? Did you let Bella come here all by herself?" Jennifer chided her son.

"Where are the manners I taught you?"

“I wanted to surprise him,’ Arabella explained.

“Oh, my sweetheart, you're so thoughtful.” Jennifer, gleeful, took a seat next to Arabella. "Did Romeo show you around? Are you getting used to the place? Is there anything that needs improvement in the company? How's the food?"

Before Arabella could answer, Jennifer turned to Romeo. “Couldn't you have ordered more dishes for Bella? Or taken her out to eat? And the table, it's too small. Bella, sit tight. I'll get you more food."

"No need. There's already plenty. I can't finish it all," Arabella said, holding Jennifer back. “I'll get you some utensils, we can eat together."
