The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1947

"What did you just say?" Louisa raised her hand to swat at him, but Sean quickly dodged with a nimble sidestep.

Romeo held onto the girl in front of him, the haze of enchantment still lingering in his eyes, his voice a smooth caress.

"Tomorrow, everyone will know you're my fiancée."

With that, he couldn't resist but to lean in and kiss her jelly-like lips, whispering, "I've been waiting for this day forever."

"See you tomorrow," Arabella said as she started to head inside.

But Romeo pulled her back for another tight embrace. "I'll be there earlier than any of them."

"There's no need to cearly. Just meetat the venue," she replied.

"No way, this is a huge moment in our lives. | want to be there with you, to experience it together." Romeo gently brushed a strand

of hair from her face. "Get srest tonight, I'll text you when | get home."

"Alright."

Just then, the lights at Reflections Villa dimmed, and the night sky erupted with dozens of brilliant fireworks, their booming echoes

deafening.

"How about that? Setting off the fireworks now was a perfect touch, right? It'll give them an unforgettable memory." Louisa had

been monitoring the entire scene, watching the young couple gaze up at the fireworks. "Can someone capture this moment for

me? It's just too beautiful!"

Because the sky was lit up, the grounds were shadowed, the surveillance feed only showed their elongated silhouettes and the way

they looked up at the sky.

The scene was stunning, and David had already whipped out his phone to snap a photo.

Firework after firework exploded in the sky, a relentless cascade of color and light, until the last one had faded and Reflections Villa

calive with cheerful music. Spotlights illuminated the villa, and they started playing a montage of happy family videos from

the past six months.

It was like a movie, frby frame, scene by scene, a dazzling light show playing out for Arabella, choreographed to the warmth

of a family she never expected to have.

With Romeo's hand in hers, he glanced at her and saw the warm glow in her eyes, his own smile mirroring hers.

The light show, synced to the rhythm of the music, displayed all the joy Arabella had experienced over the last six months. She

realized that, with her family's company, she smiled more often and more brilliantly than she ever remembered.

As the light show concluded and the music faded, the video ended with her entire family's cheerful blessings: "Bella, Happy New

Year!"

Each family member's smiling face appeared in the video.

The lights at Reflections Villa flared back to life, and the main house doors swung open, with all her family members rushing

toward her.

"Bella, Happy New Year!"

Arabella smiled, her eyes glistening with a hint of moisture.

Perhaps not expecting such a thoughtful surprise, Arabella greeted her family with a laugh, "Happy New Year."

"Your outfit for tomorrow is all set, | will show you," Sean chimed in, grabbing his sister's wrist.

Arabella didn't forget to turn back to Romeo, "Drive hsafe, and take it slow."

"Romeo, you better show up tomorrow." The elders made small talk and fussed over him a little longer before letting him go.
