The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1462

"No, no, no, we'll prioritize your side first, visit you guys, and then you're welcto cover to ours," Belinda said, not minding

the order of things.

"I'm just thrilled that Bella is willing to chwith me. Of course, we'll do whatever Bella prefers. We'll have dinner at here

first and then maybe grab a bite with my family.” As Romeo spoke, he glanced at Arabella, “Is that okay?"

Arabella wanted to object, thinking, 'Have | even got a say in this anymore?’

All eyes were eagerly fixed on Arabella, as if her nod was the only thing they were waiting for.

"Sure."

Hearing her agreement, everyone was elated, especially Darren, "I'll have Kenneth and Louisa nail down the menu right away, and

not to forget, the entertainment - it all needs to be planned in advance."

Just imagining the lively bustle of the day made him brim with joy, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.

Arabella was rather surprised - there was entertainment on the New Year?

Eunice, aware that this was Arabella's first New Year's at home, gently explained, "Every New Year's Eve, both families put together

sentertainment to make the night more festive and heartwarming. It's even grander than Christmas, especially since it's your

first year back, we might have a few surprises in store for you."

"If you spill the beans now, Bella won't be surprised when the tcomes." Belinda chuckled. "We'll have to keep our preparations

under wraps."

"In the past, your parents would organize a family trip during the holidays. Sometimes, if your uncle was too busy or your

grandparents had already visited the destination, they wouldn't join, but | wonder if they have any plans this year."

As soon as Bard finished speaking, Eunice served him sfood and added with a smile, "I think we should suggest that this year

you get your work done early so the whole family can take a trip together with Bella. It'd be great if Romeo could join too. It's

Bella's first New Year's back, so it should be something special."

Looking at Serena, she inquired, "You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Of course not." Serena forced a smile, feigning understanding, "I've had so many New Year's with the family and all their love. It's

only fair that my sister gets to experience it fully this time."

"Then we'll make it as spectacular as possible for our Bella, who we've finally gotten back. Can't let her feel slighted," Eunice said,

offering more food to Arabella.

Serena nearly choked on her irritation.

As the meal concluded, Bard casually slung an arm around Romeo's shoulder, admiring the house while engaging in small talk.

Darren and Belinda pulled Arabella aside for a private chat in the living room.

"Romeo seems like a solid guy." Darren mused, "The way he looks at you is all adoration and indulgence. He must be quite smitten

to have that kind of sparkle in his eyes." Darren always thought those love-struck gazes were almost too sweet.

Romeo's affection for her was evident, unguarded and heartfelt.

Belinda nodded in agreement, "Did you notice? With every question we asked him, even something as simple as whether he

drinks, he looks to you for your reaction. One glance from you, and he wouldn't dare take a sip. It's not about not daring to make

his wife angry; it's genuinely caring about your feelings."

"He's not my husband yet," Arabella pointed out.

"It's just a matter of time." Belinda said, full of praise for Romeo, "Just look at him, young, successful, polite, and his every move

reflects the upbringing of a well-to-do family. It's hard not to like him. You can find such a life partner, and I'm truly delighted for

you."

"Yes, Romeo is quite the catch. Everything about him pleasesto no end," Darren couldn't hide his fondness for Romeo.

Hidden in the shadows, Serena's face changed due to exasperation.
