The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1157

Romeo's words brought tears to the eyes of Alger and Celeste once again.

"Romeo." Alger's voice choked before he could finish his sentence, hot with emotion.

Celeste was also crying behind her hands, "Our daughter's fate is still uncertain."

"That's why you need to stay strong," Romeo said. "You don't know how long the surgery will last, or what will be required of you afterwards. If you collapse now, who will take care of your daughter?"

Alger found the logic in Romeo's words. Fighting back his grief, he said to his tearful wife, "Let's get something to eat."

"I'll eat too."

Alger had previously worked with Romeo and knew him to be a man of his word. However, this was the first time he had seen Romeo's compassionate side.

Serena, having finished rinsing her mouth, spotted the breakfast that Romeo had bought and her eyes lit up.

Finally, she had the chance to eat a breakfast that Romeo had personally picked out.

At that moment, Romeo received a call and strode away, "Yes, go ahead."

Serena watched his slender, gentlemanly figure retreat and couldn't help but feel that he far surpassed Martin!

Whether in height, looks, demeanor, wealth, or power, Romeo was leagues better than Martin.

If it wasn't for Martha filtering out Martin from the list of wealthy bachelors, Serena wouldn't have settled for him. She certainly didn't want to compromise herself!

Thinking of the breakfast that Romeo had bought, which probably included a portion for Arabella, Serena rushed to finish her meal. Her stomach was close to bursting!
