The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1759

Last time Sean hunted down Arabella, he lied and called her his girlfriend, begging Sean to cut her some slack.

But why was he suddenly so invested in Arabella's affairs, considering he was grinding his teeth in rage over her last time?

And now he wanted them to break up?

"The Collins family has a marriage pact with the McMillian family, and only someone like Romeo is worthy of my sister," Sean declared.

The other guys in town couldn't hold a candle to his sister!

"Make arrangements, I'm heading home."

"What?" Steward gaped in shock at Sean's words, "Sean, you've just had surgery, the doctor said you need to be observed for at least two days."

"My sister must be heartbroken; having me around could at least be of some comfort."

Steward struggled to picture Sean as the comforting type. He was more likely to infuriate people than offer solace.

Would Ms. Bella even want his comfort?

Chances were, seeing him would only fan the flames.

"Aren't you going to get ready?" Sean shot him a chilly glare, noting that his subordinate was getting less and less responsive.

Steward hurriedly suggested, "I'll get the doctor to check if you can be discharged."

"Since when is my health decided by others? If I say I'm fine, then I'm fine. Why have you become such a fusspot?"

Steward wanted to cry out in frustration: Sean, I'm just worried about your health.

Reflections Villa.

Eunice went to check on Kenneth, and upon returning to the bedroom, she said to Louisa, "Kenneth's asleep. Bard had the doctor add some sleeping pills to his medicine to ensure he gets a good rest. Your medicine should be ready now; it's not too hot. I'll help you take it."

She sat by the bed and noticed Louisa's eyes were red with tears still at the corners.

"Still thinking about all that?" Eunice lifted the bowl to give her a sip, "That girl did a lot of despicable things, but at least we've unmasked her and cut our losses. We did gain something; we know who her real parents are, and there's more to that fire from years ago."

Eunice passed Louisa a couple of tissues to dry her tears, then continued to help her take her medicine. "With her gone, we can focus all our time and love on Bella. We don't have to worry about fairness or favoritism anymore."

"I just called Romeo. He said he and Bella are on their way back home," Louisa's voice was choked and hoarse.

"That's wonderful. With New Year's approaching, it's time for them to return. Hans and his family are coming back too; the house will be even livelier. We can prepare whatever surprises we want for Bella without worrying about the feelings of that girl. We can do as we please."
