The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275

“Alright."

Arabella was indeed hungry, but more than that, she was tired. She got into the car and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Seeing her so exhausted, Bard remembered what Sampson had once said about the tough times she had gone through. His heart ached for her.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Arabella was awakened by Bard's soft voice. She looked around to find that they had arrived at a beautiful hilltop restaurant overlooking the night sky of Dawnstar.

The restaurant manager personally opened the car door for her. Arabella responded briefly.

Bard looked at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes, ‘I didn't expect your French to be so good."

It was even better than Serena's.

When Serena had a whim to learn French, he had hired a top-notch language tutor for her. But surprisingly, her pronunciation wasn't as good as Bella's.

Seemed like his niece had many virtues waiting to be discovered.

Arabella looked at the night view below and suddenly remembered her promise to call Romeo after dinner.

Was he still waiting?

"Uncle Bard, you go in first. I need to make a call."

“Alright- Without asking any more questions, Bard handed the car keys to the parking attendant and went in.

Arabella took out her mobile phone from her backpack, only to find several missed calls: from her parents, friends, subordinates, and also Romeo.

She called Romeo back first. He picked up almost immediately, “Are you awake?"

“How did you know I was sleeping?" Arabella thought he knew about her nap in the car, but she soon realized he was referring to her afternoon nap.

After hanging up the call, Arabella noticed the restaurant manager still waiting for her not far away, his face bearing a respectful and polite smile.

"Ms. Bella, this is the first time I've seen Mr. Bard bring a lady to dine here. Mr. Bard is a rare gentleman, handsome, gentle, and loyal."

Arabella cut him off before he could finish, "I'm his niece."

The restaurant manager was taken aback for a few seconds before quickly correcting himself, "He's also a great uncle! I dare say, he's the best uncle in the world, bar none."

"Oh, so isn't Mr. Sampson good?"

Caught off guard, the manager quickly replied, "No, no, no, Mr. Sampson is also very good."

“Enough. Just show me the way."

"Okay."
