The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1863

Louisa couldn't help herself, "Ophelia is such a looker, just like our little Bella—both of them have top-notch features and charm."

Sean's eyebrows lifted at the compliment. After all, they were talking about his crush—of course she was exceptional!

"It's not just her looks or aura; but she's also been raised well. After all, she was the daughter of the Almonds. She's got all the best qualities."

"I think she'd be quite the match for David!" Louisa chuckled conspiratorially.

Sean's face darkened at the remark. What were their parents even thinking!

"You agree? From the moment I laid eyes on her, I just knew she and David would hit it off! David's as lively and cheerful as they come, and Ophelia's got a great personality too. They'd be just."

Before Kenneth could finish, Sean walked out to interrupt, "How can they be a match?"

"You went back so soon?" Louisa hadn't expected him to return so quickly from dropping off their guest, "What's wrong with them as a pair? Ophelia is stellar, and David's the heartthrob everyone knows."

"David's still a kid, he's not the caretaker type."

"Who says that? He's super attentive and caring with his sister, way more than you ever were!" Louisa retorted, turning to Arabella, "Bella, don't you agree?"

"Bella, do you think your friend would be a perfect match for your brother David? Be your sister-in-law?" Kenneth looked at Arabella expectantly.

What?

Sister-in-law?!

Sean couldn't stomach the title and was ready to interject, when Arabella spoke up.

"I actually think Sean would be a good match for her."

Kenneth and Louisa were taken aback, then both turned to look at Sean.

Now, Sean's face lit up with a victorious smile!
