The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1047

"Mavis, you're such a tease," Joyce splashed her with water.

"So, when are you guys meeting the folks?" Mavis couldn't help but ask.

"They've already met. But remember, it's a secret. You can't tell anyone when we get back," Joyce warned.

"Relax, I won't spill the beans about Bella's love life. But I'm curious, what's it like to date a billionaire? Do you dine in upscale restaurants, booking the whole place, and take spontaneous romantic trips?"

As Mavis was daydreaming, Bella chuckled, "Pretty much."

"Did I really guess it?"

Just then, Bella's phone vibrated. She pulled it out and was surprised to see it was a voice call from Barry. He rarely contacted her.

When she picked up, she heard Barry's voice on the other end, "Bella, I heard Joyce got into some trouble. You went to save her, is she okay? I tried calling her multiple times but she didn't answer."

Bella could hear the worry in his voice. She smiled, "She's right here, I'll let her talk to you."

"Okay."

Bella handed the phone to Joyce. After their conversation, Bella teased, "So, are you two dating?"

"No way." Joyce quickly explained, "It's just that during the military training, Noreen pushed me into the water, and Barry saved me. We added each other on WhatsApp and have been chatting quite often.
