The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 458

Such a pricey item is rumored to only be passed on to the daughter-in-law.

Has Arabella already won Shirley's approval?

But she heard Shirley's condition hasn't gotten any better; could it be Phillip's idea?

Who would have thought that Arabella just got back to this family, not only loved by her parents but also favored by Phillip and Romeo? Look at Serena; the jealousy in her eyes was about to spill out. Such a restless child.

"Romeo's here?" Kenneth stood up cheerfully, signaling a seat beside him: "Come sit over here."

"Sorry, I got a bit held up. I'm late." Romeo said, then looked at Lucas and Beverly. He spoke with gentlemanly politeness, "I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting; I'll punish myself with three glasses."

He picked up a glass of red wine from the table, poured it and drank it three times in a row.

Even though Kenneth and Louisa both said it wasn't necessary, and even Lucas and Beverly tried to dissuade him, Romeo still finished all three glasses.

His behavior was cold and noble, and his overwhelmingly strong aura coupled with a masculine charm was mesmerizing.

"What a polite kid!"

"He can really handle his wine—three glasses—and he's not even blushing or out of breath. Romeo, sit down. You must be hungry."

"Don't wait for David; let's start serving the food!"

"Brother-in-law, good evening." Serena greeted with clear ulterior motives. Dressed to impress, her goal was to catch Romeo's eye.

Alma also called out to Romeo, but he only nodded slightly; his gaze quickly moved to Arabella, not lingering on them for long.
