The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1932

"Zip it! Eat your dinner." Sean was clearly irked.

"If you don't know how to woo a lady, just hireto teach you. I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve," David said with a

mischievous grin.

"Oh yeah? How cyou're still flying solo?"

"l just don't want a girlfriend right now."

"Enough!" Louisa interjected sharply. "Both of you better bring hgirlfriends next year, or I'm keeping Bella away from you!"

"That harsh?" Sean and David said in unison, taken aback by how their mother had them by the short hairs.

Meanwhile, Arabella sat to the side, her lips curled into a gentle smile.

The meal ended in high spirits.

Looking at the clock, Arabella noted it was just past six.

"Bella, before you and Romeo head over to Fairfield Manor, | want to give you a gift for the New Year," Louisa said, pulling out two

bank cards. "Here's yours, may the New Year bring you success and take you to new heights. And Romeo, this is for you, wishing

you prosperity and advancement in the coming year."

Romeo hadn't expected to be included and thanked her softly.

"Here's mine!" Kenneth also handed them each a bank card. "May all your dreams ctrue in the New Year, may your worries

vanish, and may your days be merry and free."

The other relatives presented their prepared gifts, one for Arabella and one for Romeo.

"Wishing you both health and safety year after year."

"May your hearts' desires be fulfilled and good luck follow you."

Arabella flashed a warm smile. "I've also prepared sNew Year's gifts for you all. Just givea moment. I'll go get them."

She turned and went upstairs.

Romeo then brought his gifts and began to distribute them.

"We can't accept this, dear," Cornelia protested. "We're the elders. We can't take money from the younger generation."

"Grandma, it's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it and givethe chance to honor you," Romeo insisted,

holding out the gift.

"You're too thoughtful. but we really can't take it. It wouldn't feel right."

"Nothing to feel bad about, it's from your grandson-in-law. Just take it," David interjected, snatching the gift from Romeo's hand

and slipping it into Cornelia's pocket. He then helped Romeo hand out the rest to the elders, winking at Romeo, "What about

mine?"

"Every brother has one." Romeo passed out the gifts, offering New Year's blessings to each.

David hadn't expected to receive a gift from Romeo this year.

But why'’s it a toy? And just a toy? For him?

Romeo couldn't be that stingy, can he?

Wait, there's something in it..

While everyone was busy chatting with Romeo, David turned away and sneakily peeked inside the toy, only to find a check for ten

thousand bucks!

A ten-thousand-dollar gift for the New Year!

Romeo really didn't hold back when it cto Arabella's family.

"Here comes Arabella." Clark noticed his sister descending the stairs with an armful of gift boxes and hurried to help her carry

them.
