The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1876

Just as Ophelia stepped out of the main building, Sean caught up with her. "Wait up."

Why did he follow her out??

She felt even more uncomfortable now.

"About the project thing. It was a fault made by my team. It's sorted now, and no one will block your projects again," he said.

Ophelia hadn't expected him to cout and talk about this. She nodded, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," Sean replied. Seeing her about to leave, he couldn't help but try to keep her a little longer, "Maybe stay a

while?"

"Bella's leaving for a trip abroad. | don't want to delay her schedule."

She intended to let Bella finish her work early, then go back and rest at home.

Seeing that Sean was still standing in front of her and not planning to move, Ophelia asked in a cool voice, "Is there anything else?"

Sean suddenly remembered something and handed her a tube of ointment, "Bella wantedto give this to you. You should take

care of that cut on your forehead. Don't get it wet. And if it hurts, you can tell me."

Ophelia was puzzled. Why should she tell him?

"I can ask Bella to see if she has a solution to the pain," Sean said, worried that his ulterior motive would be revealed, "Last night,

Bella said your wound was from a glass shard, and it was kind of deep. You'll need to apply this ointment for a couple of weeks to

prevent scarring."

Bella hadn't mentioned any ointment last night, but today she had asked him to pick up the tube from the coffee table, probably

this very one.

"Alright." Ophelia took the ointment, and they fell into an awkward silence.

Then, as Sean saw sflowers in the dirt beside them, it occurred to him, "Oh, right."

He picked up the potted plants, "These are your flowers; don't forget them."

Ophelia didn't expect Bella to be so thoughtful to have even refreshed the soil, and just as she was about to take them.

Sean held onto them, "Bella askedto carry them to your car."

Huh??

Though surprised, Ophelia accepted Bella's gesture and walked with Sean towards the gate.

"I haven't lived with Bella for long, so | don't know her usual likes and dislikes. Since she's traveling, I'm worried | won't cater to her

tastes well enough. Can you tell me?" Sean started a conversation.

Hearing that it was about Bella, Ophelia felt her tense nerves relaxed a bit, and she began to chat away.

"What about you, what do you like?"

Ophelia paused, blushing slightly. So, after all this roundabout talking, he wanted to know her favorite foods??

"It's nothing, just making conversation," Sean said, again trying to cover his tracks.

"I like strawberries, mangoes. Not a fan of pineapple, but if Bella's around, | can handle anything."

Sean looked into her eyes and said, "You're really good to her."

"It's her who's good to me. She's protective ofheart and soul. I'm blessed to have such a friend in this life."

Not to mention friends like Kelly.

Ophelia could not help but feel she must have saved the world in her past life to deserve such fiercely loyal friends in this life.

"I'll call a cab."
