The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 

“What do your folks think about us dating?” Hans asked, pretty chill about it. 

“My parents are off globe–trotting, they haven’t come back yet.” 

Ever since they handed the conglomerate over to Romeo, they were over the moon and scared that Romeo would back out. They hopped on a plane ASAP and went abroad Normally, they were the ones who contacted the McMillan family Even Phillip didn’t have a fixed way to contact them. 

“My Grandma is still in a coma” 

The only one left to make decisions in the McMillan family was Phillip. 

“Don’t sweat it, Bella is a great girl, and I’ll cherish her for life. You don’t have to worry about me being a fickle fellow. I’m not going to change my heart in the future. If I ever do Bella wrong, I’m ready to pay with my life.” 

Seeing that Romeo was a straight shooter, Hans didn’t push him further. “Alright, I’ll take your word for it. If you treat Bella right, we, the Collins family, will do the same to you. But you dare to do Bella wrong, to be fickle, or to make her sad, it’s not just me; the whole Collins family will come after you!” 

“Okay, you got my word” Romeo bumped fists with him. 

Arabella watched this scene from afar inside the car. She knew this was a man–to–man promise. They must have reached an agreement, most probably concerning 

her. 

It wasn’t hard to guess what the agreement was about. 

“My sister is still young and in school. You’ve got to treat her like a child. Don’t do anything that might scare her.” Hans was worried that Romeo would do something inappropriate. 

But Romeo thought Hans probably didn’t know how wild his sister was. She was the boss of the Mafia Flame in the triangular zone, with mad skills in using guns. Her agility might even surprise Hans if he saw it. 

“TII keep that in mind.” 

“This afternoon I’m taking Bella to visit our grandparents. Shell ride with me! You don’t need to pick her up!” 

Ever since he returned, Bella had only ridden in his car once, which was after the design contest. 

Ever since then, Bella had been monopolized by Romeo. Today was finally his turn! 

“Sure.” 

It’s only natural for brother to be close to his sister. 

Hans asked again, “What do you think of Serena?” 

The one who used to be engaged to Romeo was Serena Collins. She was a pampered heiress, well–known in high society. 

“I have no thoughts about her.” This was Romeo’s honest answer. 

Hans thought so too. If there were any, Romeo would have shown his attentiveness toward Serena before Bella came back. 

But Romeo and Serena didn’t see each other that often growing up. Everyone knew he was really into his work and didn’t care much about romance. 

Bella seemed to be the first girl he openly admitted to liking, and the first one he would personally pick up and spend quality time with. 

Hans knew well about his deep friendship with David Collins. He also knew that David was not one to be easily fooled. If he had bad character, David wouldn’t have maintained a long–standing friendship with him. 

Thinking about this, Hans turned to look at Romeo and said seriously, “I hope I’m not misjudging you.”
