The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1945

"Finally, the day has come. It hasn't been easy, not at all," Shirley sighed with a sense of relief. "At long

last, the hardship has turned to sweetness."

"Bella, tomorrow I'll be in top form, dressed in my sharpest, youngest-looking suit to show you off!"

Phillip promised with gusto. "I'm going to make sure every reporter out there knows that you're my

granddaughter-in-law, the darling of the McMillian family—someone they can only envy. No one can

replace your place in our hearts, especially in Romeo's."

"Absolutely, at tomorrow's homecoming banquet, I heard it's going to be nationally televised. I will

declare in front of everyone that you, Bella, are the McMillian family's and personally my most

satisfactory, most beloved, and proudest daughter-in-law!"

"We'll all be there early to support you, as a united front," Tomas said, his charm undiminished by his

warm smile. "We'll show everyone the esteemed place you hold within the McMillian and Collins

families."

"Thank you all so much." Arabella's heart swelled with emotion as she thanked them for their kindness.

"Bella, before the banquet starts tomorrow, can I come over to Reflections Villa to see you?" Cathy

asked eagerly. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Her request was met with a firm "No," from Romeo, with a chilling tone.

But Cathy was undeterred, her eyes pleading with Arabella for approval.

"Anytime is fine by me."

Arabella's response made Cathy beam with excitement. "I'll text you before I head out tomorrow!"

Having said her piece, Cathy then turned to her older brother Jeffery and sister Luna, "Jeffery, Luna,

let's head over early tomorrow! See if there's anything we can help with."

"You just better not cause any trouble," Romeo interjected, doubtful of her assistance.

"Hey! At least I can help with styling, makeup, carrying things, even holding up a dress hem!"

Jeffery smiled gently, "No problem, we'll go together."

Luna chimed in as well, "Sure, no problem."

Romeo hadn't expected such a rapid warming of relations between them and Arabella, who had only

just met that evening.

Their fondness for Arabella seemed to surpass even their blood-related big brother.

"See you tomorrow, Bella," Cathy said cheerily, hurrying to open the car door for Arabella and buckling

her in, essentially doing Romeo's job for him.

"Goodbye for now, Bella," Cathy said with a sweet smile.

Luna, too, smiled and waved goodbye to Arabella.

"See you tomorrow, Bella," Jeffery said respectfully.

"Have you noticed our families have a similar vibe?"
