The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2054

"Did they find out who did it?" Arabella asked, lifting her gaze.

"No, but at least we know that there are others who want to take them down besides us."

"What are you whispering with your sister about? Let her finish her soup first."

After saying that, Louisa turned to her daughter with a smile, "Bella, Myrna's parents invited your dad and me over for dinner. I reckon they want to discuss Myrna and Chasel's engagement. We'll head over first, and when dinner is ready here, make sure you eat up, okay? Clark's at home, he'll keep you company."

"Sure," Arabella said, her smile blooming as she nodded.

"Clark, take good care of your sister while we're out."

"I got it. You guys should head off, don't keep them waiting," Clark said, stepping forward to facilitate the conversation and wrapping an arm around each of them, "I'll walk you to the door."

"Oh, wait, I forgot my scarf."

Clark turned back and signaled the maid to fetch it, then picked up the pace to see his parents out.

The scarf was brought out, and Clark carefully wrapped it around his mother's neck, "Have a safe trip, no rush to come back."

"You rascal, why do I get the feeling you're hiding something from us?"
