The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1874

Ophelia's smile widened as she saw her friend, and she pulled up a chair to sit beside her. "Did you change my clothes last night?"

"Who else would have done that?"

"Thanks a bunch!" Ophelia playfully tapped her friend's cheek, her voice bubbling with gratitude. "And you even got that adorable towel and toothbrush set."

"That was Sean's doing."

At the mention of Arabella's words, Ophelia's hand, which was holding a bite-sized piece of a sandwich, froze in mid-air.

"They are a bit childish." Arabella said with a smile. "Sean thought all girls would like cute patterns."

Ophelia hadn't expected it to be him.

"Crap!" Suddenly, something occurred to Ophelia, and she hurriedly fished out her phone. "I forgot to check in with my folks."

She hadn't been home all night, and her parents must have been worried sick!

"Don't sweat it. I've already called your mom. Calm down." Arabella poured her a glass of milk and set it before her, then began recounting the events of the previous night.

"You're always on top of things, Bella. So reliable." Ophelia took a sip of the milk and sighed contentedly. "This milk is so creamy~"

After another bite of her sandwich, she felt curiosity getting the better of her. "But really, what's the deal with those guys from last night?"

Why were they after her?

Could it be that her enemies from abroad had followed her here?

"It's a long story." Arabella thought about how to keep it short and sweet as she gave an overview of the past events, and then continued, "So, Erik's guys split into two groups. One broke in to rescue him, and the other went after you, in case the first group failed. They were planning to use you as a bargaining chip to exchange for their boss."

"So that's it. I thought it was weird they suddenly started tailing me and were so persistent." Ophelia chuckled. "For a moment, I thought my overseas enemies had tracked me down here. So, you're saying you came to my rescue last night??"

"The one who saved you was Sean."

Arabella's revelation caused Ophelia's smile to freeze on her face.

Really him?
