The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1932

"Zip it! Eat your dinner." Sean was clearly irked.

"If you don't know how to woo a lady, just hire me to teach you. I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve,"

David said with a mischievous grin.

"Oh yeah? How come you're still flying solo?"

"I just don't want a girlfriend right now."

"Enough!" Louisa interjected sharply. "Both of you better bring home girlfriends next year, or I'm

keeping Bella away from you!"

"That harsh?" Sean and David said in unison, taken aback by how their mother had them by the short

hairs.

Meanwhile, Arabella sat to the side, her lips curled into a gentle smile.

The meal ended in high spirits.

Looking at the clock, Arabella noted it was just past six.

"Bella, before you and Romeo head over to Fairfield Manor, I want to give you a gift for the New Year,"

Louisa said, pulling out two bank cards. "Here's yours, may the New Year bring you success and take

you to new heights. And Romeo, this is for you, wishing you prosperity and advancement in the coming

year."

Romeo hadn't expected to be included and thanked her softly.

"Here's mine!" Kenneth also handed them each a bank card. "May all your dreams come true in the

New Year, may your worries vanish, and may your days be merry and free."

The other relatives presented their prepared gifts, one for Arabella and one for Romeo.

"Wishing you both health and safety year after year."

"May your hearts' desires be fulfilled and good luck follow you."

Arabella flashed a warm smile. "I've also prepared some New Year's gifts for you all. Just give me a

moment. I'll go get them."

She turned and went upstairs.

Romeo then brought his gifts and began to distribute them.

"We can't accept this, dear," Cornelia protested. "We're the elders. We can't take money from the

younger generation." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Grandma, it's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it and give me the chance to honor

you," Romeo insisted, holding out the gift.

"You're too thoughtful. but we really can't take it. It wouldn't feel right."

"Nothing to feel bad about, it's from your grandson-in-law. Just take it," David interjected, snatching the

gift from Romeo's hand and slipping it into Cornelia's pocket. He then helped Romeo hand out the rest

to the elders, winking at Romeo, "What about mine?"

"Every brother has one." Romeo passed out the gifts, offering New Year's blessings to each.

David hadn't expected to receive a gift from Romeo this year.

But why’s it a toy? And just a toy? For him?

Romeo couldn't be that stingy, can he?

Wait, there’s something in it..

While everyone was busy chatting with Romeo, David turned away and sneakily peeked inside the toy,

only to find a check for ten thousand bucks!

A ten-thousand-dollar gift for the New Year!

Romeo really didn't hold back when it came to Arabella's family.

"Here comes Arabella." Clark noticed his sister descending the stairs with an armful of gift boxes and

hurried to help her carry them.
