The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1906

In the end, Kenneth and Louisa could only snag seats further away.

David and Clark exchanged a look, both utterly dumbfounded.

All they wanted was to join Bella for a casual breakfast. Was it really necessary to compete for seats like this?

Sean wasn't ready to back down. He stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, at your age, it's impressive enough that you can serve yourself. Let me help Bella with her plate.”

“You little rascal, using your concern for my age just to snag a better seat.” Bernard feigned anger.

“I meant you should just serve yourself…”

“Go sit over there with the young ones!” Bernard wouldn't listen.

Sean tried to argue his point, “But Bella is one of the younger generation too.”

“In our house, Bella gets the VIP treatment! Move along.”

With Bernard’s word, the brothers had no choice but to sit farther away... casting envious glances as everyone else made a fuss over Bella.

“I can already picture the family photo later.” Clark sighed, feeling his chances slip away.

“Forget the family photo, Mom and Dad said we're all decorating together after breakfast, pitching in to decorate the home. If you want to be next to Bella, it looks like you're out of luck.” Chasel lamented as well.

“Maybe later you two can distract them. We could take turns keeping Bella company for five minutes each?” David suggested. “You guys could take the grandparents to decorate in a different room, and we can stay with Bella to decorate.”

“In your dreams!” Clark wasn't falling for that one.
