The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 59

Louisa smiled contently at the well-behaved child before her, urging her to eat up. After she finished eating, they chatted a bit until Arabella's phone rang, and Louisa left with the tray.

"I'm home" came from Romeo over the phone.

"You gave me so many clothes, I can't wear them all," Arabella asked. "Can you return some?"

She really did have a lot of clothes; it'd be a waste not to wear them all! Better off selling them and making some dough to put towards medical research.

"No worries, you can wear them slowly," Romeo answered affectionately. "Can I take you out tomorrow? Anywhere you want to go?"

"I have work."

Work? Romeo was taken aback. "A summer job?"

"Sort of."

"Did your parents agree?"

"Um" It was their company, after all.

"Where? I can drop you off."

"No need; it's close to my place."

"Why do you want to work?" Romeo was a bit heartbroken.

Was it because she was short on spending money?

But then again, he did give her a blank check for every surgery she performed, so it probably wasn't about money.

"Just for fun; nothing else to do during the summer."

Otherwise, she'd have no choice but to accept the money her parents transferred to her.

"You can come hang out at my place." Romeo's voice rang out again: "It's fun here."

Arabella was speechless.

Romeo added in his magnetic voice, "You can do whatever you want. I can also take care of you."
