The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 844

Chapter 844

Romeo flashed a reassuring grin. "Don't worry, Clark. The only person who can ditch me in this lifetime is Bella."

"What are you talking about? You're making my sister sound like some heartbreaker!"

At the end of the clear glass walkway, they stood side by side ina huge heart-shaped structure, chatting and laughing as they admired the distant scenery.

That evening, as Romeo dropped the siblings off at the Reflections Villa, he noticed a Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance.

There must be guests.

"I guess I should leave then. Don't want to intrude on your folks,"

Romeo addressed Bella before him with a tender smile. "Get some rest."

"Sure, drive safe."

"Will do."

Witnessing their reluctance to say goodbye, Clark suddenly felt like a third wheel.

Inside the villa, Louisa greeted the young woman with a beaming smile. "Crystal, you look even prettier than the last time I saw you."

"You're too kind.’ Crystal Temple lit up the room with her vivacious energy. "Actually, without makeup, you're naturally beautiful, Louisa.

And with makeup, you are like a goddess descending to Earth."

Louisa chuckled, thoroughly flattered. "Your silver tongue never fails to charm."

"Flowers can't hold a candle to you, Louisa. A blooming bud lacks your grace and elegance, a fully bloomed flower isn't as breathtaking, and a wilting flower is simply no match for your timeless beauty."

Louisa laughed heartily.

"Crystal has always been lively and intelligent. She brings joy to everyone around her, Kenneth proudly shared with his old friend Alger Temple. "Having her at home is like having a warm coat on a cold day. She makes life so much warmer."

"Ha! Our 'warm coat’ has some leaks, I'm afraid. Just graduated, and she’s already thinking about Clark."
