The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1951

"Did Romeo's uncle's kids come over early?" Louisa was surprised but mostly delighted. "The house is

going to be even livelier now."

"It seems Bella got along really well with them last night," Kenneth said with a chuckle, always knowing

their darling girl was a hit wherever she went.

Cathy was sweet as pie. As soon as she walked in, she won over all the elders and gave Arabella a big

hug.

"Bella, I didn't expect you to look so gorgeous in pajamas! No wonder my brother is head over heels for

you—I, a gal myself, am totally charmed. So, how do I look today? I hope I'm not embarrassing you. I

put on my most treasured and prettiest clothes and jewelry to show you my affection and how much I

value this homecoming party!"

Arabella smiled softly at her, "You look stunning."

"Getting a compliment from you, Bella, makes me happier than admiring myself in the mirror," Cathy

beamed.

"Cathy sure has a silver tongue," Louisa hadn't expected the McMillians to take such a liking to Bella. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Luna and Jeffery may not have been as skilled in flattery as Cathy, but their polite and modest

demeanor made them just as endearing to everyone.

As everyone gathered for breakfast, Cathy sang praises of the food and the Collins family without a

single repeat.

"Just eat your food," Romeo said, feeling she was talking a bit too much and stealing the spotlight from

today's main event.

"The breakfast is so delicious, and I want to enjoy it too, but it's my first time here, and everyone is so

warm, not to mention having you by my side, Bella—I'm just really happy." She chirped like a lively,

energetic little bird.

Cornelia found the girl utterly charming and thought how wonderful it would be if she could pair up with

David.

Previously, she had her eye on Ophelia, but Ophelia was the one Sean fancied.

Grandma Belinda, on the other hand, felt Luna's demeanor and character were so similar to Bella's,

she couldn't help but wish to play matchmaker for her and David.

Meanwhile, David, oblivious to all this, was being a hospitable host, encouraging them to eat up.

After breakfast, Arabella headed upstairs to get ready.

Cathy followed on her heels, eager and bouncy.

Luna trailed behind them.

Jeffery couldn't follow due to propriety, so David, slinging an arm over his shoulder, kept him

entertained with various conversations.

Kenneth and Louisa had been busy since they'd woken up, fielding calls from friends and family asking

how preparations were going. The homecoming banquet was set for noon at the most luxurious hotel

owned by McMillian Corporation, and some relatives who lived farther away were already on their way.
