The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 44

“You…”

This naughty boy, deliberately let him into trouble!

Arabella, standing by, briefly glanced over and said with a smile, “No more meds needed, but you can’t

drink anymore.”

“Alright, alright.” Phillip nodded in agreement, “Arabella’s right.”

Brodie, who was also standing by, nodded repeatedly, “Ms. Arabella, I will definitely take good care of

Phillip from now on.”

Arabella, slightly helpless, corrected him gently, “Just call me Arabella.”

Romeo, smiling, changed the subject, “If you hadn’t teamed up with grandpa, how could he have

gotten drunk?”

“I promise I’ll never make that mistake again!”

“Right!”

Phillip suddenly remembered something, pulled out a delicate little wooden box, opened it to reveal a

gorgeous crown necklace. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“This was one of the favorite pieces of jewelry of Romeo’s grandmother… She said that if one day

Romeo brings a girl home, this must be given to her.” The crown on the necklace was made up of 999

top grade diamonds, looking extremely magnificent.

Arabella knew this necklace had made headlines worldwide back in its day, because it was made of top–grade diamonds and designed by a top–notch designer. Back in that era, such a necklace cost

three hundred million!

Now, the value of this necklace had gone up even more.

“Such a precious gift, I can’t accept…”

Arabella was refusing, when she heard Phillip say, “This is the greeting gift from Romeo’s grandmother

to her future daughter–in–law, you must accept! If she was here, she’d surely put it on you herself…”

Mentioning his wife, Phillip suddenly seemed a bit sorrowful.

Arabella noticed he looked quite sad, and couldn’t help but turn to look at Romeo.

Romeo explained lightly, “A few years ago, grandma had a car accident and has been in a coma

since.”

Though she was alive, it was no different from being dead.

Couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, had no sense of pain…

Even though they had invited many famous doctors, none could cure grandma’s condition.

“Romeo, you put it on Arabella.”

Hearing this, Arabella felt a little moved.

“Alright Phillip, let’s not talk about this today since Miss Arabella is here.” Brodie feared that the old

man would be too sad and his condition would

worsen.

“Yes, Arabella’s here, let’s not talk about this!” Phillip managed another smile.

“Come, let me put it on for you.” Romeo took out the necklace and leaned closer to Arabella.

Arabella could smell the faint fragrance on him. She wanted to refuse, but seeing the old man’s

expectant eyes and remembering his words just now, she couldn’t bring herself to reject him.

“You look great.” Romeo looked at Arabella’s face. Her features were delicate, her eye’s bright, and the

gorgeous crown hung on her slender white neck, as if it was tailor–made for her.

“It suits you.” Romeo raised his eyebrows, his eyes as gentle as water.

“If only your grandma could see all this.”

Arabella replied, “If things remain stable, then it can be done in three more days.”
