The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 32

"I'm not scared."

Arabella clearly didn’t care about her surroundings. She'd been through way more hellish situations, too many times to count. She was getting ready to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"I got it." Romeo moved closer, his aura was downright comforting.

At this close distance, Arabella noticed his features were pretty damn attractive, even his skin was ridiculously smooth.

Romeo lifted his head, his deep eyes seriously looking at her, "Tell me when you get the time."

"Sure."

Romeo got out of the car first to open the door for her. After she got out, he slung her shoulder bag on her and handed her the stuff he'd bought earlier.

"You can eat this if you get hungry tonight."

Arabella was about to refuse, but looking into his eyes, she took the things anyway.

However the next second...Her fingers accidentally brushed against Romeo's hand, the soft touch made her heart race.

She felt something special.

Seeing her take the stuff and turn to leave, Romeo couldn't help but call her softly, "Arabella."

"What?"

Arabella turned around to hear him say, "The girl just now isn't my girlfriend."

Arabella was confused.

"She was asking for help. I don't really know her well."

Arabella: "Okay."

"Be careful on the road." Romeo's voice was calm, "If you're scared, I can be on the phone with you."

"No need."

Watching the girl's figure gradually disappear from his sight, Romeo got back in the car. The image that kept popping up in his mind was her face, both obedient and cold.

Arabella had just entered the underground parking lot when she felt her phone buzzing. It was Romeo.

"Did you find your car?"

Arabella found it a bit funny, "Just found it, haven't you left yet?"

"I'm waiting to leave with you."

"No need, I'm going through Exit B." Arabella pressed the car's unlock button, "Did you hear that? I'm about to drive."

"Alright, be careful on the road."

After hanging up, Romeo called Carl, "Clear up your schedule tonight, I need to pay a visit to the Collins family."

When Carl heard this, he immediately became excited, "Mr. McMillian, you are not going to settle scores with Ms. Serena because of today's incident, are you? Ms. Serena should have no malicious intentions...""I’m not a settling scores."

"So you... finally understand Phillip's good intentions? Want to invite Miss Serena to visit Phillip in the hospital tomorrow? Phillip would be delighted!"

Romeo's gaze fell into the distance, his voice low, "I need to see Mr. Collins and Mrs. Collins."

"You finally decided you want to marry the Collins family's daughter??"

Just as Carl finished speaking, he could sense the displeasure on the other end, he was confused, "So this is..."

What did that mean???

"Breaking off the engagement."

"Breaking off the engagement??" Carl's face turned pale, "Mr. McMillian, you're not joking, are you?"
