The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 792

Chapter 792

He turned to Arabella again, "You all set?"

"Yeah." Arabella didn't blame him, he was busy after all, and being busy was a good thing.

"No worries, you don't have to be on schedule when you come to visit us. It's not like you're clocking in at work." Kenneth laughed as he looked at his son-in-law, the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was. "Please have a seat."

Romeo walked up to Jennifer, "Mom, come and sit with Dad."

"You men sit together, and we women will sit together." Jennifer held Arabella's hand tightly, seemingly reluctant to give up her spot.

Romeo looked at their closely held hands, "If you sit so close, Bella might feel uncomfortable."

"Who says that? We've been shopping and strolling arm in arm lately."

Romeo was speechless.

"It's okay, the couch is spacious. You can sit here." It was Arabella who spoke up.

Romeo's eyes instantly lit up, as if to say "My fiancee loves me more."

Arabella saw the laughter hidden in his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. Really?

Romeo sat to the right of Arabella, while Jennifer sat to her left.

George sat alone on the opposite couch, which was meant for two, feeling oddly lonely.

Louisa watched this scene unfold, and smiled. She asked Edith to bring more pastries and coffee.

"Louisa, you're too kind! How did you prepare so much?" Jennifer looked at the table full of fruit, pastries, and coffee, a mix of amusement and disbelief. "I'm going to gain ten pounds after this."

"No need to fuss next time. We're just here to hang out." George explained with a laugh. "We've been abroad for a while so we didn't have time to come visit."

“Bella is still young.’ Louisa explained with a smile. Even though she was eager to see the two of them get married, her daughter's opinion was still the most important.

"No rush. We just wanted to express our stance, mainly because we like Bella so much." Jennifer looked at Arabella again, "Take this time to test Romeo a little. Don't let him off so easily."

Romeo was in dumb silence.

Every other couple's parents were supportive, except his.

Not only were they not supportive, they were actually holding him back.

Arabella laughed and looked at Romeo, “Alright."

Romeo thought, " Not alright!"

"I guarantee that now and in the future, every member of the McMillian family will never mistreat Bella. Jennifer and I will treat her as our own daughter. We will cherish her for a lifetime." George also took this opportunity to express his sincerity.
