The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 

Arabella was up front, giving a bow of gratitude to all the guests present. 

“The funeral is over, and the family wants to express their thanks.” 

Arabella turned around and bowed to each guest as they leave the cemetery. 

All the guests were invited to the nearest restaurant to the Collins family to enjoy the funeral feast, which Arabella had specifically prepared for them. 

When the guests leave, Arabella turned back to look at the tombstone, can’t help but walk over, knelt down, and gently touched the name on it. 

At this moment, Arabella recalled the details of her time with her grandma, thinking of her grandma’s kind face. 

Time didn’t leave deep traces on the old woman’s face, only the gentleness and elegance between her brows. 

Arabella can’t control her grief, which had almost drowned her strength several times. 

She touched the name on the tombstone and said gently, “Grandma, Grandpa will always be with you. You won’t be alone. I will try to learn medical skills to save more people. Don’t worry.” 

Just then, someone came to Arabella’s side. 

Arabella turned her head and saw Romeo’s profile. 

“Granny, I haven’t formally introduced myself. I’m Romeo, Bella’s fiancé.” 

Arabella didn’t expect him to stay. She looked at the tombstone again and said gently, “Grandma, this is Romeo, who I told you about. He treats me well.” 

“Granny, you can leave Bella to me. You and Grandpa can rest assured that I’ll take care of her, protect her, and cherish her. My Grandpa likes her too. She’s the bride chosen by the McMillan family. I’ll make sure she lives well in our family.” 

As Romeo said this, he held Arabella’s hand and asked, “Shall we bow to Granny together?! 

“Okay.” 

Arabella and he bent their bodies together, bowed, then stood up, saying goodbye to Grandma together. 

-When they left the cemetery, they saw an old man standing outside the fence, looking at the tombstone, reluctant to leave. 

“Grandpa Alberto, are you still here?” Arabella got closer and found that Alberto’s eyes were full of tears. 

“I’ll wait a bit longer.” Alberto said this, his voice somewhat choked and his hand clenching a handkerchief. He wiped his tears and said sadly, “You guys, go ahead and attend to the guests; I’ll be there in a bit.”

Arabella nodded and said, “Take care of yourself.” 

After saying that, she looked up to Alberto’s assistant and said, “You must take good care of Grandpa Alberto.” 

“Okay, Ms. Bella.”
