The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 2171

“I’m just worried about Bella,” Molly knew that this morning, Arabella had given a presentation abroad to an audience of over a hundred investors and family representatives. But when Arabella texted her after the talk, Molly finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she hadn’t eaten much upon entering the judge’s panel.

As a result, Hans sneaked treats to her from down below.

Just then, someone came running over and tapped on the car window.

Hans rolled down the window and accepted the afternoon snack handed to him. “Have a bite to eat first.”

“Did you get someone to buy this for me?” Molly beamed with joy, opening the package to find her favorite dessert. She didn’t take the first spoonful for herself but offered it to Hans instead.

Hans insisted she eat first, too fond of her to have it himself.

“Go on, try it.”

Hans took a bite, and it was sweet, heartwarmingly so.

“Delicious!” Molly exclaimed after her first bite, certain anything Hans picked out would be a hit, “Oh, right, I need to check if Myrna’s back.”

Myrna had been out on a challenging assignment and rumor had it, after this one, she’d get a well-deserved break. While Molly worried for her in silence, she was also eager for her return.

After sending the message, Myrna’s response came as an emoji, their secret code of sorts.

“Sister-in-law, I’m back from the mission and I bagged a national first-class medal,” Myrna showed her, adding, “I heard you won another award for your designs a few days ago. I didn’t get a chance to congratulate you right away. Is it too late, right? May you continue to rise as a genius in the world of design!’”

“The design world already has its genius in Bella; I just need to improve more than before. Why are you also calling me sister-in-law? It makes me sound aged,” Molly replied with a laugh, sending a voice message, “Are you and Chasel back too?”

“He’s back, and he’s won an award too,” Myrna couldn’t help asking, “Are you eating something?”

“Yeah, matcha cake.”
