The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 34

Following behind him, a couple of his underlings were clutching onto a bunch of pricey gifts, which they put down before heading out to wait by the door.

Left alone now, Carl stood by Romeo, acting all respectful and stuff.

“Hello, long time no see.”

Romeo had a cold personality and didn't talk much. Even his greeting was steady and rigorous.

“Romeo, what brings you here today?” Louisa was the first to react, looking at the gifts he brought, she put on a warm smile. "It's great you came. Thank you for your gifts."

“Romeo, come take a seat. Someone, get him a cup of coffee.” Kenneth called out in a friendly tone, “You haven't visited us since your bro left the country. Let's catch up tonight.”

“Romeo, have you eaten yet?”

“I have.” Romeo replied, still as polite as ever.

“It’s been a while, but you seem even more mature and steady…” Louisa looked at him, finding Romeo very likable. Tall, handsome, competent, he was basically flawless.

On the second floor. Serena had planned to chat with her parents after Arabella had gone up to her room. That way, she could strengthen family ties and indirectly find out if they knew about Phillip's situation.

Just as she opened the door, she overheard two maids discussing about Romeo's appearance.

After carefully asking them, she found out Romeo had come to her house!

Her legs turned to jelly, and she was so frightened that she almost couldn't stand still. “Miss Serena?” Martha went up to help her in a hurry, “Are you alright?”

“Martha!” Serena grabbed Martha’s hand, her voice full of panic, “Romeo’s here, in the living room… He must have come because of what happened today! If my parents find out, about how I almost got his grandpa killed… What should I do?”

“Don’t freak out, let’s see what he says first.”

“No... there's a difference between him spilling the beans and me coming clean.” Serena quickly weighed her options and blurted out, “I’m going downstairs to apologize to him!”
