The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1527

"I'm stuffed," Arabella admitted, having polished off a substantial meal.

"Could you make me one?" he asked.

He longed for a cake like that, one that was his and his alone.

"When your birthday comes, tell me what style you want in advance."

Was that a yes??

"Really? I can choose the style?" Romeo's smile softened his entire demeanor, his gaze tender and unyielding as it remained fixed on Arabella.

Whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Is Romeo dating Jamie Noelle? They're looking well matched, like a couple!"

"Weren't there rumors about the Collins and the McMillian families having a marriage arrangement? Isn't Serena supposed to be Romeo's fiancée? Yet here she is with Martin tonight, and Romeo's feeding Jamie Noelle cake. What's going on?"

"Could it be that they've had a spat and are trying to make each other jealous with this public display?"

"But Romeo seems genuinely into Jamie Noelle. Could all this be an act?"

"If Romeo really gets together with Jamie Noelle, I'll just die."

After all, Jamie Noelle was such a powerhouse, someone she could never surpass in a lifetime.

And let's not forget her looks—that icy charm of hers really made her stand out in a crowd.

"That girl's not only Jamie Noelle, she's also Queena. If she ends up being Romeo's girlfriend, her life's just too perfect."

"I can't accept this."
