The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1947

"What did you just say?" Louisa raised her hand to swat at him, but Sean quickly dodged with a nimble sidestep.

Romeo held onto the girl in front of him, the haze of enchantment still lingering in his eyes, his voice a smooth caress.

"Tomorrow, everyone will know you're my fiancée."

With that, he couldn't resist but to lean in and kiss her jelly-like lips, whispering, "I've been waiting for this day forever."

"See you tomorrow," Arabella said as she started to head inside.

But Romeo pulled her back for another tight embrace. "I'll be there earlier than any of them."

"There's no need to come early. Just meet me at the venue," she replied.

"No way, this is a huge moment in our lives. I want to be there with you, to experience it together." Romeo gently brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Get some rest tonight, I'll text you when I get home."

"Alright."

Just then, the lights at Reflections Villa dimmed, and the night sky erupted with dozens of brilliant fireworks, their booming echoes deafening.

"How about that? Setting off the fireworks now was a perfect touch, right? It'll give them an unforgettable memory." Louisa had been monitoring the entire scene, watching the young couple gaze up at the fireworks. "Can someone capture this moment for me? It's just too beautiful!"

Because the sky was lit up, the grounds were shadowed, the surveillance feed only showed their elongated silhouettes and the way they looked up at the sky.

The scene was stunning, and David had already whipped out his phone to snap a photo.
