The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 346

Early the next morning, Hans saw Arabella finish breakfast and immediately approached her, saying, "Arabella, let me drop you off at work."

"No need; Romeo will pick me up."

That guy again?

Hans had barely spent any time at home; he hadn't even had the chance to drop off his sister!

That guy was all over it, keen as mustard, always rushing to pick up and drop off his sister!

He heard that the pink diamond necklace Arabella had her heart set on was also snatched up by that guy, who gave it to Arabella first!

Their parents said that the guy was into Arabella; he was generous and considerate.

But to Hans, Arabella was still young, still in school; that bloke's attention was a bit too much, too frequent; if he ever stepped out of line, he wouldn't let him off the hook!

At that moment, Romeo was waiting outside the front door, tall and slim with handsome features. Seeing Hans and Arabella coming together, he stood up straight and walked towards them.

"Bro."

Out of respect, Romeo also referred to Hans as 'bro', just like Arabella.

But Hans's gaze turned cold. "Arabella is my sister; it's natural for her to call me bro. There's no need for you to be polite, Mr. McMillan; just call me Mr. Collins."

Romeo sensed hostility from Hans's gaze; this hostility was clearly because he thought he had stolen his sister.

"You're Bella's brother, so naturally, you're my brother."

"You're quite chummy, aren't you?"

As their gazes clashed in the air, Arabella calmly said, "I'm going to be late; can we hurry up?"
