The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2171

“I'm just worried about Bella,” Molly knew that this morning, Arabella had given a presentation abroad to an audience of over a

hundred investors and family representatives. But when Arabella texted her after the talk, Molly finally breathed a sigh of relief,

and she hadn't eaten much upon entering the judge's panel.

As a result, Hans sneaked treats to her from down below.

Just then, someone crunning over and tapped on the car window.

Hans rolled down the window and accepted the afternoon snack handed to him. “Have a bite to eat first.”

“Did you get someone to buy this for me?” Molly beamed with joy, opening the package to find her favorite dessert. She didn’t

take the first spoonful for herself but offered it to Hans instead.

Hans insisted she eat first, too fond of her to have it himself.

“Go on, try it.”

Hans took a bite, and it was sweet, heartwarmingly so.

“Delicious!” Molly exclaimed after her first bite, certain anything Hans picked out would be a hit, “Oh, right, | need to check if

Myrna’s back.”

Myrna had been out on a challenging assignment and rumor had it, after this one, she'd get a well-deserved break. While Molly

worried for her in silence, she was also eager for her return.

After sending the message, Myrna’s response cas an emoji, their secret code of sorts.

“Sister-in-law, I'm back from the mission and | bagged a national first-class medal,” Myrna showed her, adding, “I heard you won

another award for your designs a few days ago. | didn’t get a chance to congratulate you right away. Is it too late, right? May you

continue to rise as a genius in the world of design!”

“The design world already has its genius in Bella; | just need to improve more than before. Why are you also callingsister-in-

law? It makessound aged,” Molly replied with a laugh, sending a voice message, “Are you and Chasel back too?”

“He’s back, and he’s won an award too,” Myrna couldn't help asking, “Are you eating something?”

“Yeah, matcha cake.”

“| should've guessed, Hans must have gotten it for you. So, when are you guys heading back home?”

“Right now.”

“I'll be waiting for you,” Myrna said before going off to find Carol.

Carol had recently sold a painting for a hefty sum of $2 million, making a nfor herself in the art world. Besides, she and her

brother Dennis Brooks were achieving great success with their business group.

In a beautiful garden, Carol was engrossed in her painting when Clark wrapped his arms around her from behind and planted a

lingering kiss on her.

“Painting again?” Clark’s gaze fell on her canvas, which displayed a romantic sea of flowers.

“A client requested it. | want to finish it before the wedding.”

“Letmix the paint for you,” Clark said, starting to assist her.

“Did you finish all your work?”

“Yep, | can dedicate the next couple of days just to you.” Clark even took the tto wash sof the brushes she wasn’t using.

“Oh, by the way, can you call Sean and check if Ophelia’s back in the country?”

Their wedding was the day after tomorrow, yet they were all caught up with work. Ironically, the grooms had wrapped up their

tasks early and were itching to get the ceremony started.

“Sure thing.” Clark dialed Sean, but there was no answer.

He tried again, only for Sean to pick up, clearly impatient, “What is it now? I'm with Ophelia, we're busy. Whatever it is can wait.”

Clark hadn't even had a chance to speak when Sean hung up.
