The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 279

Half an hour later.

Romeo's car pulled up at the villa by the lake.

He looked up and saw that the lights in Arabella's room were still on, so he got out of his car, pulled out his phone, and dialed her number.

"Arabella, are you still up?"

"Yep." Arabella had just finished showering and was drying her hair with a towel. "Are you all done with your stuff?"

"Yeah, I was planning to come see you straight off the plane."

But on the way, he heard about her injury and its connection with the Cooper family. He had to deal with some stuff, causing a delay.

"Can you come to the window and see me?"

At this hour, he couldn't just barge in, and it was sweltering outside. He didn't want her to leave the AC to come out to the steamy balcony.

So he could only catch a glimpse of her from afar.

Arabella went to the window and saw Romeo standing by his car, looking up in her direction.

Even though she couldn't make out his facial expression, she could feel the tenderness and affection in his voice.

"Have you been eating on time while I was away?"

"Yep," Arabella answered, continuing to dry her hair.

"Be careful; your hand is injured."

Arabella was startled. "How did you know?"

"I watched your competition video." Romeo replied. "I didn't know your hand could not only save lives but also play the piano and even make such beautiful clothes."
