The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 604

She's had it with him!
He stubbornly dialed again, and this time, Arabella guessed he had some urgent news, so she excused herself, "Sorry, got to hit the loo."
Phillip was busy chatting and hearing her excuse. He quickly said, "Brodie, show Bella the way."
"No worries, I know my way around."
Enid arched a brow. It looked like this girl was a regular.
Fairfield Manor was huge, and she'd surely get lost without a few visits under her belt.
This place was Grandpa Phillip and Grandma Shirley's private residence. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come.
Only those tight with the McMillian family had the privilege.
Just who was this girl who seemed to be a regular visitor?
Wait a minute.
Earlier, Grandpa Phillip had said this girl was named Arabella.
Could she be from the Collins family?
Kenneth and Louisa only had one daughter, Serena. Was this girl a cousin of Serena's?
Was she the daughter of Serena's aunt and uncle?
Enid wasn't all too familiar with the kids from that side of the family, but she vaguely remembered there being more than one girl.
Who would've thought this girl snatched Serena's fiancé right from under her nose?
How interesting.
If she was of Serena's rank, Enid might have been a bit cautious, but if she was the daughter of Serena's aunt and uncle, Enid had no reason to hold back.
Who didn't know that Serena's aunt and uncle were worse off than Kenneth?
If they were to compare, the Winters family was better off.
Romeo knew Arabella had received a call and had business to attend to, so he didn't accompany her.
"Grandma Shirley, would you like some coffee?" Enid took the initiative to pour a cup of coffee and hand it to Shirley warmly, smiled after Arabella had left, "We're so glad to know you're awake."
"Yes, we wanted to come see you as soon as we got the news." Mr. Winters added.
"Thank you, but I can't drink it." Grandma Shirley declined the coffee with a kind smile. The coffee was too strong, and she couldn't drink it after just recovering from illness.
"Shall I get you some water then?" Enid put down the coffee cup and asked Brodie to pour some water, acting like the hostess.
Before she'd even finished speaking, Brodie stepped forward, "There are more guests, Suri and Jessamyn."
Mr. Winters' words were cut off, so he had to pause and wait for the right moment.
Suri and Jessamyn were Phillip's old friends' daughters-in-law. They must have come to see Grandma Shirley upon hearing she'd woken up.
Out of respect for his old friends, Phillip had them shown in.
"Shirley, you're finally awake. I'm so relieved, and I've been praying for you every day." Suri, on arrival, couldn't help but get emotional. Her voice choked.
Jessamyn was in the same boat. With tears in her eyes, she said with gratitude, "Thank God, you're finally awake! God bless, you're very lucky. It must be Phillip's love for you that moved God."
