The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 31

“If I don’t go home, the woman marrying Zachary would be my sister. I’d be seen as the one who

wrecked my sister’s happiness, and for that, God would deliberately punish my family who I care about.

If that’s the case, I don’t want to be this rich girl anymore, I don’t want to marry Zachary either…”

“You’re a Murphy, and going back to the Murphy family is your duty, marrying me was because of our

engagement, you haven’t done anything wrong.”

As the night fell, Romeo’s car was speeding through the traffic, heading towards Emerald Park.

During this time, his phone kept buzzing. He glanced at the caller ID for the first time, then hit the

button on the steering wheel, hanging up the call. But the person on the other end of the line didn’t

seem to give up, calling again and again.

“Just let me get off at the front, please.” Arabella thought her presence was making it difficult for

Romeo to take the call, and was about to get out, but heard him explain, “It’s a nuisance call.”

The nuisance calls kept buzzing…

Finally, to keep Arabella comfortable in the car, Romeo had no choice but to put on his earphones and

answer the call.

“Romeo, you finally picked up my call…”

Serena on the other end of the line was sobbing hard.

“I really didn’t know that your grandpa would have such a big issue as soon as I left. It wasn’t on

purpose, I heard that HeartRevive in soup has a great effect on treating heart disease. So, I carefully

made a pot of soup with Heart Revive and gave it to him….thought it would help your grandpa, but I

didn’t expect it to worsen his condition….It’s all because of that medicine seller who defrauded me, he

sold me the medicine and I didn’t check it, I was fooled…. If I knew the medicine had issues, I definitely

wouldn’t have bought it, let alone let your grandpa have it! Romeo, you have to believe me… I consider

you as family and your grandpa as my own grandpa, I would never harm him…”

“Are you done? Romeo didn’t have the patience to listen to her sobbing, after she finished, he hung up

the call.

After taking off the earphone, Romeo continued to drive, noticing from the corner of his eye that

Arabella looked a bit awkward, he asked, “What’s up?” “That person seemed to be crying really hard. I

could hear it….

While Arabella didn’t know why that person was crying, she felt that person seemed really pitiful…

That was the person who hurt my grandpa calling to plead.” Romeo explained softly.

“Okay…” Arabella saw that they were near Emerald Park and said, “Please drop me off here.”

“It’s already dark, I’ll drop you off at the garage.”

“No need.”

Arabella didn’t want others to see her car. The license plate was too conspicuous.

Next time she’d choose a more low–key car.

“Are you sure you can manage alone?”

Romeo saw that the park wasn’t completely built yet, and there weren’t many streetlights at night, most

places were pitch black.

Even the road to the garage was very dark.

She was a girl. Wouldn’t she be scared? This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
