The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1573

Was that really Romeo?

The same Romeo they knew, who was so reticent and icy, devoid of emotion?

It's true what they say, every man in love turns into a boy. That's no joke.

From the looks of it, Romeo seemed to be more head over heels for that girl. She, on the other hand, had been playing it cool throughout.

That level of composure was impressive.

"Today, I suddenly realized David is quite a looker," Romeo said, paying his friend a rare compliment.

"Isn't it just because you're in a good mood and everyone seems nice to you?" Arabella chuckled. "Don't you think that the backup dancers are really dedicated and have some slick moves too?"

Romeo nodded, "Yeah, and I also think you're looking particularly charming today, really adorable."

Arabella couldn't withstand his gaze and once again turned her attention to the stage.

"If I were to start performing, would you watch me with the same eyes you have for David, attending every concert?" Romeo asked in a low voice.

"Nope, no time for that."

Romeo watched her with a smile. The girl's blunt response made her even more endearing to him.

As the concert was drawing to a close, Arabella leaned in and whispered, "I'm going to the restroom."

"I'll come with you," Romeo instantly offered, starting to get up.

"Just stay here and shoot the video, I'll be right back," Arabella patted his head, signaling him to wait patiently.

Romeo leaned in again, whispering, "Call me if you need anything."

"What did you say?" Hannah shouted back, looking at her friend in confusion.

"I said I mistook him for someone else—" Just as David finished his song and the fans' cheering had quieted down, Alma's voice carried to the front.

She felt like she was suffocating with embarrassment.

Even the business tycoons in the front row turned to look at her, and she just wanted to crawl into a hole.

Backstage, Arabella found Jossie monitoring the concert. Surprised to see her, Jossie exclaimed, "Bella, what brings you here? Hungry? Thirsty? David bought you a bunch of stuff earlier, it's all here, let me get it for you."

"I came to see you."

"To see me?" Jossie was even more surprised, "Oh, I saw Romeo propose to you earlier, so romantic! I'll look forward to your wedding. My engagement is on the 1st next month. I've told David, so you two better come!"

"You're getting engaged?" Arabella was a bit surprised but still smiled gently, "Congratulations."
