The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 

As soon as Phillip stepped in, he addressed the dozens of servants waiting there, “This is my daughter, you guys better show her some respect from 

now on.” 

“Good evening, Miss!” The servants stood in unison, all smiles, eyes locked on Arabella. It was obvious they had been waiting for a while, some of them were even sweating through their clothes. 

Arabella felt a bit helpless. She thought there was no need for them to be so formal. 

“Hey there.” Arabella nodded and went inside with Romeo. 

The flowers and plants in the yard were adorable, Arabella was a bit puzzled. Wasn’t this her grandpa’s place? Why were there so many cute plants?! Romeo noticed the changes too. Everywhere he looked, things were fresh and clean. Clearly, they had gone all out to make a good impression on Arabella. 

“Arabella, you hungry? Dinner’s ready.” Phillip led her to the dining room. 

Four chefs and eight servants greeted her with respectful bows. Arabella was speechless. Seriously, no need to be so formal. 

“Arabella, come sit next to me!” Phillip patted the spot next to him. 

One of the servants pulled out a chair for Arabella. After she sat down, Romeo took the seat next to her. Four chefs served the dishes. Each plate not only smelled and tasted amazing, but also looked stunning. 

“Arabella, give it a taste.” Phillip was about to put a whole steak on Arabella’s plate. But Romeo beat him to it, he picked the meat out of a Boston lobster and naturally put it into Arabella’s plate. 

Phillip thought, “My grandson is actually being considerate?! Did I see that right?” 

Brodie, sitting nearby, was wide–eyed, clearly unable to believe what he was seeing! Their young master was actually taking care of this girl at the dinner table? 

Next, Romeo removed the crab shell and put the meat into Arabella’s plate. After spending these days eating together, he had gotten used to serving her, caring for her feelings. But in Phillip and Brodie’s eyes, what Romeo was doing seemed unbelievable. 

“You like seafood. Have more.” Romeo thought of her, but didn’t eat a bite himself. 

Phillip, shocked, quickly asked with a big smile, “Arabella, how’s the taste?” 

“Delicious.” Arabella said. 

“Thank you for your compliments, Miss!” The four chefs bowed in unison, extremely grateful for Arabella’s comment. 

The old man had said, if the young lady was satisfied with tonight’s dinner, they’d get double pay this month! 

“You should eat too.” Arabella didn’t want Romeo to keep fussing over her. But Romeo kept serving her, noting what she liked and disliked. He was silently serving her more of her favorites. 

“Bella, when you’re free, come visit more often. It’s been a long time since this place was so lively!” Phillip said.
