The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 783

Chapter 783

"Mrs. McMillian, your taste is impeccable. You've picked out the crown jewel of our store."

"Mrs. McMillian must really care for you, splurging on such an elegant and expensive dress for you."

"I'm so envious."

"Yes, you are indeed fortunate."

Compliments flowed around Arabella. After a while, Jennifer had purchased quite a few items. George, unable to carry any more, called their chauffeur to ask where he was.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance."

After ending the call, George, weighed down by dozens of shopping bags, turned to Jennifer as he said, "Honey, I'll bring these bags to Gene first, then I'll come back to help you with your shopping."

"Go ahead," Jennifer picked a few more dresses, asking Arabella for her opinion. She seemed intent on buying her the entire store.

Feeling neglected, George was about to take the elevator when a sudden pain shot through his back, his old ailment flaring up again.

Arabella noticed and excused herself to Jennifer before rushing over to him.

"It's nothing serious, just my old back acting up. I'm getting old. It’s only normal for me to have these kinds of problems."

"I can carry it."

Looking at George's arms laden with over thirty shopping bags, Arabella felt guilty.

"No need, I can handle it; George could never let his daughter-in-law carry the load.

"But your back."

"It's alright, really."
