The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2149

Arabella’s eyes lingered with disbelief, the message from Aunt Beverly had passed on was...

She could hardly believe it.

That was impossible?!

How could it be them?

“Could you read those poems for me or buy me a book of poetry?” Tears welled up in Beverly’s eyes, her voice quivering like a fragile crystal in the quiet room.

“Are those poems fascinating as Auntie says?”

“When you read it, Arabella, you’ll be blown away. It’s even more stunning than you could imagine,” Beverly added, “It’s worth reading, I promise.”

“Alright,” Arabella nodded, “Romeo and I will definitely read it. If it’s as stunning as you claim, I’ll come back and talk about the poem and poets with you.”

“I’ll hold you to that,” Beverly couldn’t help but remind her. “Stay safe.”

Arabella knew her aunt was worried about her safety. With a nod of understanding, Arabella reassured her, “Don’t worry, Auntie.”

“Until next time.”

“Goodbye.” Arabella stood up and walked out.

“Have you boarded the plane yet?” she asked straight up.

Romeo, about to board, smiled at her voice, “Missing me? I’m coming back early tomorrow morning, and we can have breakfast together before school.”

“Romeo, there’s something I need to tell you,” Arabella’s voice was heavy with gravity. “The real people behind things are your uncle and aunt.”

Romeo’s smile froze.

Arabella relayed the clues she had gathered.

Beverly had mentioned two brilliant poets, Thomas Gray and John Donne. Thomas must refer to Tomas McMillian. When she mentioned John Donne, she intentionally made a mistake, saying Donna, so she wanted to say it’s Donna McMillian.
