The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 847

Chapter 847

"Mind if we exchange digits?"

"Sure.

Arabella offered her number. Crystal entered it into her contact list then said, "Well, we'd better get going. You guys should get some rest. I'll stop by again soon."

"Um, okay.’ Louisa and Kenneth stood up to see them out.

"Bella, Bella!" Clark called quietly from the staircase, waving at Arabella. "Come up."

Once she was upstairs, Clark hooked an arm over her shoulder and whispered, "Did Mom ask you to give us some alone time?"

"She didn't exactly put it that way.’ Arabella raised her eyes to his, a soft smile on her lips. "You're not into Crystal?"

"I see her more as a buddy."

"Does she know that?"

"Are you into that girl who gave you the lucky charm?"

Clark looked surprised. "How did you know?"

"You seemed really attached to that charm. The night you lost it, you looked so anxious, like you lost something really important."

Yeah, to him, that thing was the last vestige.
