The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 143

"Is it necessary to seek his help?" Arabella thought, feeling frustrated with herself. Is she really that incapable?!

Dean understood now. Ms. Bennett was a powerful career-oriented woman who was self-reliant and didn't need any external assistance to handle her affairs.

"Ms. Bennett, my admiration for you has grown even stronger. What should I do?" Dean's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Arabella kept her head down, not even glancing at him, "If you have time, you can help the janitor clean the toilets."

"I'll get to work right away!" Dean hurriedly left the office. He definitely did not want to clean toilets.

Night fell.

Louisa sat on the couch, whipping out her phone to ring up her boys.

"Your sister's been found, she's on summer break. You guys need to wrap up your work and whoever can, come home ASAP. Whoever can't, needs to make some time!"

"I know you guys are busy, but your sister is back, all five of you need to come home for a while! Got it?"

"Anyone who dares to ignore their sister or mistreat her, I'll be the first to oppose!"

"You can come home without luggage, without work, but you must bring gifts for your sister!"

After four calls, Louisa finally dialed her youngest son's number and repeated the message.

"But mom, I'm your son, you're giving me a hard time over a sister who just showed up?" David Collins was a bit peeved on the other end of the line.

"Huh, at least you remember you're my son, how many times have you come home to see me this year?!"

"Well, I've been swamped with work, no? And I've sent plenty of gifts and gift cards!" David's tone was rather aggrieved.

Louisa was unimpressed, "Humph, who cares about your money!"

Well, his mom didn't exactly need his money.

"Anyway, you must come back! Oh..." Louisa seemed to remember something and added, "Tell me in advance when you're coming back."

"Why, you gonna make me something tasty?"

"You're famous and all you think about is eating? Have I ever let you starve when you were little?" Louisa sounded disgusted.

David was indignant, "Even famous people need to eat!"

"The Bartley's girl has been over a lot lately, she's pretty, well-educated, well-mannered..."

"Okay, stop, I get it, I don't have time right now!"

"You little rascal, let me finish." Louisa didn't let him interrupt, "You're not young anymore, you should think about getting married."

"Mom, I still have my elder brothers, why don't you urge them? Why me?"

"They won't listen to me! The Bartley's girl has a crush on you, what can I do?"

"You..." David clutched his heart, this was definitely his mom!

"Remember to bring a gift for your sister when you come home, bye."

David felt wronged, if not for this sister, how long has it been since his mom called him?
