The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2031

"Was she picking on you two?" Romeo had already sensed the gist of the situation and was feeling even more irked with Harriet.

"Actually, we didn't tell you earlier because we didn't want to worry you, but it's not just me here, your wife got bullied too! That Harriet is just way out of line!" Cathy said, her voice tinged with distress.

"Didn't Arabella break her bones?"

"Broke bones??" Cathy was confused, "Nope, nothing like that. It was just a light touch, like a breeze."

"Then she was already being quite gracious. That should be enough to report back to the Earwood family."

What was he talking about?? Did he mean to say that when Bella got physical, it was either fractures or serious injuries?? Was she really that fierce??

"Pass the phone to Arabella."

Cathy obediently handed over the phone.

"Bella." Romeo's voice came through from the other end, now soft and tender, "You don't have to hold back when you're with me."

Cathy's eyes widened in shock. Was Bella really that violent?

"If it gets to injuries or worse, I'll take care of it."

"It's mostly because I didn't have dinner; didn't have enough strength," Arabella joked.

"Does your hand hurt?"

"Not at all." Arabella smiled, "I'm not the one in pain."
