The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767

"In a couple of days, we'll be outta here." She just needed to meet up with Melody, and then it's time to go.

Otherwise, their relatives and friends, who were always in the know, would start dropping by once they heard that they were back. They'll be asking for help with all sorts of things.

They thought they were pretty slick, being careful about where they went and keeping their return under wraps. But somehow, the news still got out.

You gotta hand it to them, these people knew how to sniff out gossip.

"Stay a bit longer,’ Shirley pleaded. "You and George should drop by the Collins family more often. Their daughter is such a catch, and Romeo swooped in and took her away in no time. We should pay them a visit."

"Right on,’ Phillip nodded approvingly. "You and George definitely need to visit them more."

Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to Melody. Melody was the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.

Jennifer couldn't resist messaging Melody on WhatsApp.

[Melody, what are you up to?]

Arabella replied promptly: [Shopping.]

[What are you planning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.

[All done shopping.] Arabella had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better today?]

Jennifer was over the moon! Melody cared about her!

And now, listening to her voice so closely, her captivating voice was just magnetic.

[I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had cut ties with her sooner.] Jennifer pondered.

"Right, haven't you noticed? People who rarely change friends usually grow at the same pace as their friends. But those who grow rapidly tend to change friends quickly too. Because their social circles are different. Trying to force a relationship would only make the other party uncomfortable." Jennifer listened to her advice, deep in thought.

"Some friends are only meant to accompany you for a certain part of your life's journey. There's no need to feel regret. As long as you gave all your heart during the time you spent together and truly felt joy, even if the end result wasn't what you hoped for or even if you had to pay a price, you'd still gain something, right?

You'll definitely meet better friends in the future." [Do you think I could meet better friends?]

"Of course, you're a great person. You're sure to meet friends who truly care about you."
