The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1278

The moment Aurelie's boyfriend heard, he hastily scooped up his girlfriend and left.

Arabella grabbed her bag and walked out of the crowd, Bard softly asked, "Are you hurt?"

"They're no match for me." Arabella looked up and asked, "Uncle Bard, do you know who they are?"

"Not sure, could be some enemies of mine."

"Well, we'll have to look into that."

Bard was surprised to see Arabella's eyes remain calm and serene. Just how strong must her mental fortitude be, how courageous, to maintain such a nonchalant expression?

What had she been through, who had she learned from, to possess such awe-inspiring power and ability?

"I was careless. I didn't bring any backup today, thought we could enjoy a quiet meal."

He didn't expect such a thing to happen, and his niece didn't get to finish her meal.

Thinking about how she only had a few bites, he felt guilty.

"Let me take you to another restaurant."

"No need, I'll just have something at home."

It was a pity about the dishes they didn't get to try. The red wine-braised beef, pan-fried foie gras, bouillabaisse, and so on.

She hadn't had a single bite.

"I'll have it made," Bard called his home chef, ordering them to prepare the most representative dishes in the shortest time possible, adamant that his beloved niece should eat to her heart's content.

On the way home.

Arabella suddenly remembered something.

"Uncle Bard, I left something at the hospital. Are we passing by? If we are, I'd like to pick it up."

"What did you forget, I'll go get it."

"I'll go and check on Grandpa while I'm there."
