The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 49

"What do you fancy eating?" Romeo opened the car door and waited for her to get in.

Arabella remained silent.

"French cuisine, perhaps? Or you want to eat some other type of food?"

"Whatever." Arabella strutted into the car, no longer fussing over this matter.

Romeo got in the car, saw her reaching to take off that necklace, and instinctively grabbed her hand.

Arabella was a bit stunned, then explained, "I feel like I shouldn't have this."

"No one's more deserving of it than you." Romeo looked into her eyes, speaking word by word, "I know you're young and haven't thought about marriage yet, but that's okay, no rush."

Arabella just felt this precious item around her neck was too conspicuous. Everyone who knew what this necklace represented understood what it meant!

This was something only the McMillian family's daughter-in-law could wear!

Seeing that she still wanted to take it off, Romeo pressed on, "Could you consider my grandpa's delicate heart and keep it on for now? He'd be heartbroken if he saw you without it when he gets discharged in a few days."

Arabella was convinced by this argument. Her hand had just left the necklace when he took it.

Romeo held her hand tenderly, it was so soft that he suddenly didn't want to let go.

Arabella couldn't pull her hand back, so she simply said, "Let go."

Romeo held her hand with no sign of letting go, instead he calmly looked ahead, "Let me hold it for a moment."

What's with this attitude?

"How well do you know Caden?" Romeo suddenly asked.

Carl, the driver, hadn't expected Mr. McMillian's relationship with Miss Arabella to progress this quickly. He was so excited his hands were trembling on the wheel.
