The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 87

"Alright." Mr. Brodie was aware that the old geezer was ready to make tracks, so he respectfully accepted. His attitude, though, was as if he was ready to give someone the boot.

Serena didn't expect Phillip to do a 180 on her after he met Arabella. She was beyond embarrassed. Even though the old man asked Mr. Brodie to show her around, she was too mortified to stick around, her face burning up.

Arabella, that country bumpkin, must be a regular troublemaker. How could she possibly have won Gramps over?!

What was her secret? How did she manage to get his approval in such a short time?

"Since Grandpa is tied up with stuff, I'll drop by another day." Serena stood up, leaving the gifts behind, "Please, Mr. Brodie, pass these things to Gramps."

"The doc said he doesn't need any tonics, and these things won't be of any use to him." Mr. Brodie replied respectfully, "Miss Serena, please take them back and give them to your own parents."

"Take Serena's stuff to the car." Brodie knew why she was here today. Wasn't it because she still had the hots for the young master, hoping to be the daughter-in-law of the McMillian family?

Unfortunately, the young master's got eyes only for Ms. Bella now, and the old man was quite taken with Ms. Bella too.

She wanted to muscle in? That was wishful thinking!

On the other side, Arabella finished her work and called Louisa on her phone, "Mom, don't bother making dinner for me tonight."

Before she even explained why, Louisa happily said, "I know, I know! Phillip called me earlier. He's getting discharged today and he wants you to have dinner with him."

Arabella was surprised that Gramps had personally called her mom to relay such a small matter, and she felt warm inside.
