The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 

When Attlee disclosed the company’s predicament to her, she immediately assured him, “Mom, Dad, I’ll help the company out!” 

“What a good kid!” 

After Arabella got home, she found a crowd in the living room, all showering Serena with praises. 

“Serena, you’re amazing! You won first place in the piano competition!” 

“It’s such a blessing to work in this household, getting to listen to such refined piano playing every day.” 

“Serena’s piano playing is truly enchanting!” 

Louisa was the first to notice Arabella’s return. “Honey, you’re home from work? Was your first day exhausting? Did anyone at the company give you a tough time?” “Ms. Bennett is home?” 

“Folks at the company were saying that the person who took charge today was really impressive. They don’t even know they’re talking about my precious daughter, 

haha.” 

Noticing all the attention on Arabella, Serena, feeling a bit jealous, walked over 

“Sis, you’re back“?” She put on a gracious smile and said, “How about we all go out for a meal tomorrow? On one hand, to celebrate your taking over the company, and on the other, to welcome you back home! What do you think?” 

She purposely didn’t mention her first place win, feigning concern for Arabella. 

“We haven’t really taken you around since you got back, and you’ve been working hard. Let’s go out for a meal,” 

Serena, seizing the opportunity, took Louisa and Kenneth’s arms and cooed, “Dad, Mom, what do you think?” 

“I think it’s a good idea.” Louisa looked at Kenneth, who also nodded, and said, “Bella, what do you think?” 

“Whatever is fine” Arabella didn’t want to upset her parents. Seeing them cheerfully making reservations, she absentmindedly went upstairs, freshened up, and went to bed! 

The next day, Romeo dropped her off at work. On the way, he sounded a bit upset upon hearing about the family dinner “Didn’t you promise to spend your free time with me?” 

Arabella hesitated. “I forgot.” 

She genuinely hadn’t thought of him when she agreed. 

“You’re not taking me to the family dinner?” 

“Next time” 

“Then you owe me double” Romeo held her hand tighter and said, “If you’re not having dinner with me, then let’s have lunch together.” “Alright” 

After a day’s work, Arabella arrived at The Happy Chef with Romeo, saying. “Okay, no need to pick me up later, I’ll go home with my parents” 

“Call me when you get home.” 

“Sure.” 

Meanwhile.
