The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1879

[I've made it to the headquarters, didn't head back home.]

[You and Bella are such career-oriented women, so young and already working yourselves to the bone,] Sean's text carried a hint of concern.

Ophelia replied with a light-hearted touch, [Work keeps us fulfilled, LOL.]

Seeing her in good spirits, Sean wrote, [You should rest if you're tired, especially after last night's scare, and diving back into work this morning. You still have that bruise on your forehead. The holidays are coming up, and a client sent me two crates of lychees and mangoes. I don't have time to eat them all, I'll have someone drop them off for you.]

Ophelia was about to type a refusal.

But then Sean added, [I'm heading abroad soon, no clue when I'll be back. The house is overflowing with fruit, and I can't possibly finish it. That's the plan for now, I've got to drop Bella off.]

Before Ophelia could organize her thoughts and send a response, she saw Sean's message and simply replied, [Okay.]

Sean was thrilled, so much so that he didn't notice Arabella's return from the quality inspection.

Arabella glimpsed Sean's chat, noting the name change to Ophelia with a hint of surprise.

"Sean and Ophelia are moving that quickly? He even changed the nickname?"

Seeing his sister back, Sean quickly pocketed his phone, "Don't tell her. I just changed it on a whim, wasn't sure what to call her. I remembered you usually call her Ophelia, so..."

Arabella couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassment, "Let's go, we can head to the airport now."

"That soon?" Sean stood up in a hurry, "You've worked hard, Bella. On the plane, I can give you a shoulder massage."

"Your massages? I'll pass."

"It was all a misunderstanding before." Sean quickly followed her, trying to explain.

But in the next moment, Arabella handed him a bag, "For you."
