The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 

Tll respect Bella’s wishes” 

“Respect? If Bella agrees, do you think you can take it a step further? Watch it, buddy! David warned, swinging his fist. “If Bella gets hurt in any way, I’ll move mountains to set things right for her!” 

“Don’t you know me yet? Romeo smirked with a devilish grin on his face. “I may not be Mr. Nice Guy, but I’m not a man without standards or principles. Rest assured, I’ll wait until Bella is my wife” 

“That day’s never coming“” David retorted. 

“Let’s wait and see 

As Romeo got into the car, David rushed up to the window to speak to Bella. “Bella, if this guy gives you any trouble, call me straight away. I’ll handle him myself. And get home early! If you run into any trouble or anything you can’t handle, I’ve got your back.” 

“Don’t worry, David” 

Seeing Romeo’s smug smile, David felt uneasy. He could only watch helplessly as the car drove away, feeling utterly dejected. 

“David, what are you doing here?” 

A voice snapped him out of his thoughts. 

“Oh, Serena.” David glanced at Serena, then couldn’t help looking back in the direction Bella had left. The car was long gone. He then turned his attention back to Serena. “You’re up early today.” 

“David, you’re up early too. It’s your day off; why didn’t you sleep in?” 

“I couldn’t sleep.” 

David had planned to take Bella shopping and spoil her a bit today to make up for lost time. 

But Romeo had ruined everything! 

The thought of his little sister having a boyfriend so soon and spending less and less time at home made David feel downright miserable. 

“David, do you have some free time today? We could hang out. It’s been a while since we’ve done something together.” 

She had overheard David talking about taking Bella shopping. If she could go out with David and maybe have a photographer snap a shot of them together, She’d be the talk of the town! 

Everyone would know she was David’s favorite little sister. 

She could also buy loads of stuff and have David pick up the tab! 

But David replied listlessly, “Maybe next time.”
