The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 767

"In a couple of days, we'll be outta here."

She just needed to meet up with Melody, and then it's time to go. Otherwise, their relatives and friends, who were always in the know, would start dropping by once they heard that they were back. They'll be asking for help with all sorts of things.

They thought they were pretty slick, being careful about where they went and keeping their return under wraps. But somehow, the news still got out.

You gotta hand it to them, these people knew how to sniff out gossip.

"Stay a bit longer," Shirley pleaded. "You and George should drop by the Collins family more often. Their daughter is such a catch, and Romeo swooped in and took her away in no time. We should pay them a visit."

"Right on," Phillip nodded approvingly. "You and George definitely need to visit them more."

Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to Melody. Melody was the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.

Jennifer couldn't resist messaging Melody on WhatsApp.

[Melody, what are you up to?]

Arabella replied promptly: [Shopping.]

[What are you planning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.

[All done shopping.] Arabella had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better today?]

Jennifer was over the moon! Melody cared about her!

[I'm much better, your remedy worked wonders! How are you so amazing? You seem to know everything.] Jennifer couldn't resist asking, [Do you live in Summerfield?]
