The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 

“No trouble at all. Mr. McMillan is so thoughtful! Have a safe trip; remember to drive safely.” 

When Edith brought the stuff into the living room, Kenneth happened to see it and found out that Romeo had prepared such a rich late–night snack for them. 

The dining table was filled with fancy boxes. 

Arabella was surprised. Didn’t he say he only prepared “a little“? 

Serena, who was sitting next to Arabella, was quite jealous. She heard that Romeo had gone abroad yesterday and had just returned today, yet he had prepared so many snacks for Arabella. 

Looking at the logo on the boxes, these snacks were at least worth a five–figure sum! 

This poor girl, who can only play the piano and make clothes–what’s there to fuss about? 

Why was Romeo so interested in her? 

“Miss Bella, let me see your hand.” 

Just as Edith was about to check the injury, Arabella pulled back her hand and asked, “Is there something wrong?” 

“This is the medicine that Mr. McMillan prepared for you; he asked me to apply it for you later.” Edith took out the medicine from the bag. 

There was also a note in the bag, written by Romeo, detailing what medicine to apply first, what to apply next, and how to treat it in the end. 

He had written down the whole process. 

It was then that Kenneth and Louisa found out that Arabella’s hand was injured. They marveled at Romeo’s thoughtfulness while also feeling sorry for their daughter’s injury. 

“My Bella, what happened? When did you get hurt?” 

“How did it get so swollen? Did you fall or were you bullied?” 

Arabella pulled back her hand and said, “It’s fine; I just bumped into something.” 

Since the video of the competition wasn’t released, Kenneth and Louisa didn’t know she was injured. 

And since Arabella didn’t like to share her personal matters, no one noticed. 

“Why didn’t your brother tell us?” 

“I’ll call the doctor right now.” 

Seeing Kenneth about to make a call, Arabella said, “There’s no need; Romeo has already prepared the medicine.” 

These medicines all looked very precious–something they couldn’t buy at a regular pharmacy. 

And it’s impossible for these medicines to always be stocked up in his car. 

Arabella guessed that he might have picked them up from his own house on the way here and then brought them to her. 

“Let’s eat first.” Arabella handed the cutlery to her parents, then sat down and picked up a fork with her left hand. 

Serena, who was sitting next to her, was very jealous. She sat down voluntarily and said with a sweet smile, “Your husband prepared so many snacks; let’s help you share some? Sister, he’s really good to you! You’re so lucky!” 

“Since you know he’s my husband, please change your address in front of friends.” Arabella said this casually while enjoying the food in front of her.
