The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 

Who knew what kind of things that guy would be into? 

The next day, before the crack of dawn, Serena was already up and getting dolled up. She deliberately chose a black cami dress; her hair was piled high on her head, exuding an aura of elegance and dignity 

“Serena, you’re drop–dead gorgeous!” Martha said, helping her put on a dazzling necklace. “You’re way prettier than Ms. Bennett in this getup.” 

“Martha, don’t sugarcoat it, I know I’m not as pretty as my sister.” 

Even when Arabella was dressed down, her aura and her pretty face outshone everyone else. 

Martha’s expression froze for a moment before she laughed and added, “Miss Serena, your features are bold and striking, just like someone from a well–off family should 

be” 

“Do you think Romeo will like what I’m wearing today?” Serena looked at herself in the mirror; her skin was delicate, her brows were clear and bright, and she was noble and elegant 

Martha sincerely admired her beauty: “If I were Mr. McMillan, I would have been totally smitten by now! Miss Serena, be confident; you’ll definitely be the belle of the ball!” Just then, Holly knocked on the door and said, “Miss Serena, Mr. McMillan is here. Ms. Bella hasn’t woken up yet, and the lady of the house is still asleep. Would you like to go down and greet him first?” 

Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t contain her excitement. She hurriedly touched up her make–up and went downstairs ahead of everyone else. 

Romeo wanted to see his crush early, so he arrived forty minutes early. He told Edith not to wake anyone up; let them sleep in. 

When Serena came downstairs, she saw him sitting on the sofa. His aloof demeanor combined with his dignified figure made him unspeakably handsome.. 

“Romeo, why are you so early? My sister isn’t an early riser.” Serena approached with a smile. “Shall I pour you a glass of milk?” 

“No need.” 

“You mustn’t have eaten anything yet since you came out so early. Have some milk first.” 

Just as Serena was about to head to the kitchen, she heard him say, “No need; I’ll wait for Bella.” 

Serena’s smile froze on her face, but she quickly said, “If you’re waiting for my sister, why not take a stroll in the garden instead of just sitting here? You haven’t been here in a while. We’ve planted some new varieties in the garden. See if there’s anything Grandpa Phillip might like and take some back for him.” 

“No need.” 

“The air in the garden is great; it can bring good vibes for the whole day. It’s still early; I’ll accompany you for a stroll.: 

“I’d rather be alone.”
