The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1393

Just then, a bubbly girl called out, “If you don’t marry such a great guy, I do!”

Arabella couldn't help but laugh.

Amid the continuous jeers from across the way, Romeo sent a message and booked the entire dinner service on that boat.

The people on the boat paused for a half-second when the captain announced the news, then, realizing what had happened, they erupted in cheers, wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness and hoping for the pitter-patter of little feet soon. Some even jokingly suggested they have their honeymoon right there.

Romeo looked at Arabella with a doting smile, “They seem more anxious than I am.”

The teasing grew louder.

Serena’s face grew gloomier by the second.

Why was she always outshone by them?

The ordinary dinner in front of her, the raucous little boat, and Martin, who always fell short compared to Romeo.

It all grated on her!

Why!

Why was Arabella always happier than her!

“Don’t mind them,” Martin tried to soothe her, noticing her mood, “Next time I’ll plan something even better for you.”

Serena was at her wit's end, not in the mood to talk.

At that moment, another boat with transparent walls glided towards them, a violinist aboard playing a captivating tune. His gentle gaze fell on Serena as if performing just for her.

Serena was taken aback. Could this be Martin’s surprise?

The violinist’s gaze made Serena increasingly certain that this must be Martin's surprise!
