The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1993

It was Louisa!

She had just returned home with Kenneth after bidding farewell to their guests when she caught sight of her son and Kelly in a tiff–both unexpected and delightful, she couldn’t contain her joy.

"So you and David are in a relationship."

Louisa was ecstatic, quickly reaching for Kelly's hand and exclaiming, "You've kept this a secret so well, child. At Bella's homecoming banquet, I asked if you had a boyfriend, and you told me no."

"Uh, Auntie." Kelly knew this misunderstanding had gone too far, and she tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail.

"I understand, you must have been thinking of David, knowing he's under a confidentiality agreement. You'd rather take the hit yourself than let him breach it and pay the penalty."

Kelly was still trying to withdraw her hand.

"I saw you two having a moment just now. Did this guy get too close to some female celebrity and break your heart? He's got a girlfriend and still can't keep his distance with others. I'm going to set him straight right now!"

Kelly barely managed to say there was no need when, in the blink of an eye, Louisa had David by the ear.

"Mom, that hurts, let go." David never imagined his own mother to twist his ear quite so firmly!

A famous star with millions of fans, being reprimanded by his mother in public. How mortifying!

Where's justice in the world?!

"Louisa, please let him go. Bella already explained, it was a misunderstanding, it's not his fault." Kelly, seeing Louisa's firm grip and feeling empathic pain for David, quickly stepped in to clarify.

Seeing Kelly rush to defend her son, Louisa knew their relationship was real, and her heart bloomed with joy.

She let go and warned her son, "See how much Kelly cares about you! From now on, whatever you do, think of Kelly first. Don't break her heart again! Since you're dating her, you better treat her right."
