The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1908

Reflections Villa.

After finishing breakfast, the housemaid brought over a stack of beautiful window decals. "These are all static clings. Just wipe the window with a damp cloth, and they'll stick right on."

"I'll take some; I want to help Bella put them up."

"Me too."

"I'm with Bella!"

"Bella, I will clean the windows for you. You can put them anywhere you like," said Arabella’s grandpa.

"Don't worry about me being too old. I can stand on a chair. Just tell me where you like them, and I'll stick them on for you!" said her grandma.

There was nothing left for the brothers. The housemaid said awkwardly, "We have more decals with fireworks and Happy New Year coming soon."

"Come on, Bella, let's go put up the decals." The elders were already escorting Arabella away with laughter and chatter.

"Hans, this isn't working!" Clark blurted out anxiously, "We finally made time to come home and spend it with Bella, and from the moment we got up, we've barely exchanged a few words with her."

Before he could finish, the elders had shooed them aside.

Their presence was barely acknowledged!

"Now I have to sacrifice myself." David decided, taking a few steps forward and then letting out a loud, exaggerated groan as he pretended to trip.

But the elders ahead were deep in their merry conversation and didn't even notice him.

Clark couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to the pitiful David, "They didn't even notice you."
