The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413 

“I’ve got a girlfriend already.” Romeo announced, his gaze falling on a girl not too far away. His eyes softened instantly. The surrounding girls, hearing this and realizing that he’s taken and the girl’s beauty was miles above theirs, fell silent. 

Arabella, seeing his conversation winding down, got up and walked towards him. 

Romeo immediately pulled her into his arms and said, “Why don’t you take a break? It’s pretty hot here” 

“We’re up next” 

Romeo saw a hint of jealousy in the girl’s eyes and smiled warmly. Leaning close to her ear, he asked in a low voice, “Are you jealous?” 

Was Arabella coming over to assert to the other girls that this man was hers? 

“You’re overthinking: Arabella responded coolly, her face stunningly beautiful. 

After a while, it was their turn. Arabella looked at the merry–go-round ahead of her. Although she wasn’t particularly interested, there were so many rides in the amusement park that she didn’t know what to pick, so she just got on it, moving gracefully. 

Romeo sat on the horse next to her, holding her hand; his eyes were filled with her and only her. 

With the music starting, the horses began to rise and fall. Romeo looked at Arabella, and Arabella looked back at him. 

A few female college students behind them watched with envy. This girl’s boyfriend was so gentle and handsome! 

A woman nearby then grabbed her husband’s ear and said, “Look at that! He doesn’t hesitate to ride the merry–go–round with his girlfriend, but you’re worried about losing face, thinking it’s childish!” 

“Ouch! Let go; there are people around. Can’t you be gentle?” her husband winced, covering his ear. “We’re here for our grandson, not on a date! Besides, it’s summer; holding hands is too hot!” 

“All you do is make excuses! You just don’t know how to be romantic!” 

Arabella looked at Romeo; his eyes seemed like a burning galaxy, sparkling brightly. 

“Don’t you think this is a bit childish?” she asked softly. 

God knew what the higher–ups at his company would think if they saw their CEO on a merry–go–round. 

“Bella,” Romeo said, holding her hand, “Every moment I spend with you, I feel so happy. No matter what we do, as long as you’re happy, I’m happy.” 

Just then, a flash of light drew their attention. Arabella turned around and saw that the college students were sneakily taking pictures of them! 

The college student was scared. She thought they looked so perfect that she couldn’t help but capture the moment. 

Romeo’s expression cooled. “I’ll deal with this.” 

But as he was about to get down, Arabella tightened her grip on his hand. “No need; it’s fine.” 

The girl didn’t know who they were, so there was no threat. 

Romeo felt Arabella’s grip on his hand tighten, and his heart warmed. He tightened his grip on her hand in return. 

“Should we take some pictures too?” 

“Huh?” Arabella was surprised he would suggest such a thing but responded with a simple, “Sure.”
