The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 91

“Mr. Collins is in the loop and he’s cool with you staying over.” The butler added.

Arabella was puzzled. Her dad agreed, just like that?!

No way!!

“Here’s a voice message from your dad.” Phillip opened his phone and played it for her.

“I’m definitely more at ease with Arabella staying at your place, so I guess I won’t wait up for her

tonight.” Kenneth’s voice came out.

After all, she was bound to become a McMillian sooner or later. Plus, Phillip promised there’d be no

room–sharing with Romeo. He just fancied his future daughter–in–law and wanted her to stay a night

at Fairfield Manor, With dozens of servants around the manor, there was no way anything could NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

happen under their watch.

At this point, Kenneth couldn’t really object and had to let it slide.

Arabella did not expect her dad to agree so casually.

“Romeo, take Arabella to the room on the south side of the third floor. I’ve had it cleaned.” After Phillip

finished, he turned to the butler, “Get Arabella a lantern, and also find out when the power would be

back on. It has been a while!”

“Right away.” The butler promptly brought a lantern with a Zen vibe to Arabella.

“I got it.” Romeo reached out to take it, leading Arabella upstairs with his other hand.

Although everything was dark, the warm light from the lantern and the warmth from his hand gave

Arabella a sense of security.

“Are you afraid of the dark?” Romeo turned to ask the little lady following behind.

Before Arabella could answer, Romeo put his arm around her shoulders, “If you are, just stay close to

me.”

Arabella wasn’t even afraid of ghosts, let alone darkness. It was nothing compared to what she had

been through. When they arrived at the room, Arabella realized that the lantern was kind of

unnecessary. The room was so large that the dim light did little to brighten it up. Overall, it was still

dark.

In the dim light, Romeo looked at the girl in front of him. Her sparkling eyes were like stars in the night

sky, radiating a captivating glow. Her casual aura was like a charming queen.

“I’ll stay with you until the power’s back.” He couldn’t resist touching her face.

Only then did he realize how soft, tender, and smooth her face was. It was a bit small, and his hand

could easily cover it.

Arabella turned her face away, “You go do your thing.”

“I’ve got nothing to do.” Romeo said.

“Then go keep your grandpa company.” Arabella said.

“Grandpa’s had a long day. He’s going to bed.” Romeo said.

Arabella looked at the clingy guy in front of her, somewhat helpless, “Then you go to your own room.”

“I want to stay here with you.” Romeo could feel his breathing becoming more rapid. The girl’s elegant

scent made him want to get closer and closer. Just then, his phone rang. After answering, he told the

girl in his arms, “There’s a power outage due to equipment failure. No electricity tonight.” Arabella didn’t

reply.

“I’m going to check if there are any clothes that need washing.” If he didn’t leave now, he was afraid

he wouldn’t be able to control himself. Walking into the walk–in closet in the room, Romeo found it

empty.
