The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1391

"Isn't she just the luckiest girl ever?"

"Does anyone know who she is, like, for real?"

"Are they, like, dating or what?"

Romeo held Arabella's hand as they made their way out, flanked by a phalanx of bodyguards.

"OMG, they're like a perfect match. I swear their love story beats any TV show romance!"

"She's so gorgeous, like, even prettier than some celebs!"

"Think they're off to grab a bite?"

Serena was in such a good mood, but all the chit-chat around her had totally killed her vibe by the time she made it to the top floor!

When Romeo had left the top floor earlier, he’d snagged a souvenir for Arabella—a tiny Emerald Tower keychain. Now, they each had one, and Arabella couldn’t help but laugh, "When did you get this? I didn't even notice!"

"While you were texting back."

Remembering, Arabella realized that she had been replying to her aunt, who had asked if she would be home for dinner. She had told her she’d be dining out with Romeo, and in that short span, he had managed to buy the gift and surprise her.

"I really love it." Arabella threaded the key into her new keychain.

Seeing how much she cherished his gift made Romeo's mood soar even higher.

Beside the towering Emerald, there lay the Luminescent Brook, and now, Romeo had chartered a whole boat for a dinner cruise with Arabella.

The vessel's cabin was designed with clear glass, allowing them to savor a scrumptious meal while taking in the stunning views along the Luminescent Brook.

From Stellar Palace to The Emerald Tower, from The Serenity Temple to the Veteran's Retreat, the boat offered a unique charm of Oakridge City that was truly unparalleled.

Other tourists, spotting their boat bathed in cozy light, with the bow and stern decked out in vibrant marigolds, couldn't help but stare in wonder and envy.
