The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1938

"Sweetheart, be a good girl and eat more, okay?" Jennifer was still serving dishes to Arabella.

"These two dishes were made by me, you should give them a try too," George spoke to her in an indulgent tone. It was the first time they saw George show such affection to someone other than Jennifer, especially to a junior.

"These dishes were made by Grandpa and Grandma, give them a taste, okay?"

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, but there's too much, I can't finish it all," Arabella's bowl was piled high with food.

"Bella, you performed the heart surgery for Grandpa, and cured Grandma's illness. We will never forget this kindness. We both toast to you." Tomas and Donna stood up, raising their glasses.

"Bella is still young, she can't drink," Phillip and Shirley said simultaneously.

Romeo poured a little lemon water into Arabella's empty glass, not too much, fearing it might upset her stomach before dinner.

Arabella stood up and, seeing the two elders finish their drinks in front of her, said gently, "You're too kind. Saving lives and healing the wounded is my duty. I'll raise a toast to you both." She drank the lemon water in one gulp. Tomas and Donna smiled, satisfied with her response.

Everyone urged Arabella to eat more in a lively atmosphere.

"Bella, try this dish. I wish you a prosperous life, successful studies, and everything going well in the coming year. May it be as flourishing as fire." Cathy stood up and served Arabella two big prawns.

"And these dishes..." Cathy served all the other dishes to Arabella, saying, "I wish you a year full of laughter, good luck, successful endeavors, happiness, and most importantly, may your relationship with my eldest brother deepen and become sweeter."

"Thank you," Arabella noticed that Cathy's hostility had disappeared, replaced by respect and admiration. Could it be because of Romeo just now?
