The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1518

The birthday song started to play, and a towering six-tiered cake being wheeled by someone in their direction.

Serena was bursting with curiosity to see who was behind the cake, but as it drew closer, her eyes widened in shock. That

beautiful, radiant face, could it really be Arabella?

Arabella was Jamie Noelle??

Impossible!

"Didn't Mr. Jarvis say that Jamie Noelle would personally deliver the cake to Mr. Albright? Could Queena actually be Jamie Noelle?

That's just too surprising."

"Maybe Jamie Noelle stepped out to the restroom and asked the girl to wheel the cake in for a bit?"

"Or perhaps Jamie Noelle's gotten too old to walk, so she needed this young lady to help push the heavy six-tiered cake. It does

require extra care."

"No way, | can't believe she is Jamie Noelle. She's just a teenager."

"Yeah, how could she be both Queena and Jamie Noelle?"

Amidst the stunned and speculative gazes, Arabella pushed the birthday cake forward, stopping in front of Eugene.

Eugene was surprised by the cake because it wasn't the one he had ordered. It must have been a surprise Arabella had prepared in

secret.

The six tiers represented his six decades of life. Each layer was a celebration, the bottom five showcasing their shared memories -

like the times they played chess, now depicted in a cartoonish style by Arabella, and the trophies they had won over the years,

each carefully crafted and adorning the cake.

The sides of each tier bore different inscriptions: one with "Good Fortune," another with "Longevity," and others with "Prosperity"

and "Good Wishes."

The largest inscription was on the bottom tier, reading," Health, Prosperity, and Happiness." And on the top tier, a little girl sat

surrounded by eight smiling elders, each holding a peach with glorious smile.

Eugene's eyes moistened at the sight, for the cartoon images were so vivid, so lifelike.

There was Beck, Charles, Tanner, Nelson, and himself. Alberto had passed away, chasing after his beloved into the next world, but

Arabella included his cartoon image too, his hand gently cradling a peach, his smile as warm as ever, invoking a feeling of fond

nostalgia.

Warner, Uriah, and Thomas couldn't make it; Arabella added them to the scene nonetheless.

Their group had once been eight elders looking after Arabella. And now Alberto had left them too soon. His Whatprofile

picture was still in their chat, and sometimes the others would @ him, chatting as if he could still reply, though they knew he never

would.

With these thoughts, Eugene's eyes grew even wetter.

"Hey, hey, I'm not even there yet, and you've already rolled out the cake."

The speaker was Nelson, who had hurried over and finally made his way to Eugene's side, "I gotta say, Jamie Noelle's hands were

made for playing the violin, not for wheeling out cakes for you."

"That's right, Mr. Albright." panted President Charles, who had arrived just after, with a big smile on his face, "You're really putting

those valuable hands to mundane use. Jamie Noelle's talent is precious, and here you have her playing errand girl."

The crowd took in the arrival of these two venerable elders with surprise and shock. Could Arabella really be Jamie Noelle? It just

didn't seem possible!
