The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1891

Ever since Arabella came back home, every family holiday turned into a photo shoot. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now it was clear that New Year would be no different.

"Bella is just so smart." Kenneth said with a twinkling smile. "Now that Bella has caught on to the pattern, I might as well spill the beans. Indeed, we've got a photo crew coming over tomorrow. We'll all dress up in matching family outfits and take pictures without any fuss."

"This means I'll get more snapshots with Bella," Clark boasted to Sean.

Sean couldn't swallow his pride, but then he heard his sister ask, "Sean, didn't you say on the way home you wanted to take some selfies with me?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Sean, thrilled that his sister was saving face for him, eagerly pulled out his phone, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and snap, snap, snapped away.

Clark couldn't help but tease, "Can't you ever stop? Taking so many shots in the same pose, aren't you tired? Bella must be exhausted!"

"You have no clue. It's about different angles!" Sean retorted, then posed for the phone again. "Come on, Bella, give us a smile."

Arabella lit up with a grin, and Sean tapped the screen multiple times, capturing several more images.

"That's hideous, what's there to photograph?" Clark complained when he saw Sean baring his teeth in the shots.

"Mind if I join?" Chasel pushed his way in, standing on Arabella's other side, eager to get in the frame.

"Who wants to take a picture with you? Move over, you're blocking the shot of me and Bella."

Everyone around couldn't help but laugh.

At For·ena Villa.

When Serena woke again, her lifeless eyes betrayed no emotion, as if her spirit was crushed by the world.

"Serena, you're awake? Thank goodness." Dora quickly fished out her phone to call Martin.

The attending doctor stepped forward to examine Serena, ensuring there were no complications before heaving a sigh of relief.
