The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1053

The voice of him echoed through the phone, "Huh, kid, you thought you could stump me so easily?"

Arabella couldn't help but chuckle, "I'll be there in a bit."

She had barely hung up the phone when she saw Barry, Adair, and Mya racing towards them.

"Bella." Barry and Adair greeted Arabella in unison, both panting, as if they had just heard some news and had hurried over to meet them.

Arabella nodded in acknowledgement.

Barry's gaze immediately fell on Joyce's face, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

"I tripped and hurt myself."

"Liar. That clearly looks like a punch. Who was the lunatic who laid hands on you?" Barry barely touched Joyce's injury when she winced in pain and let out a stifled gasp.

"Who the hell did this?" Barry looked angry, as if he was both sympathetic and ready to stand up for Joyce at any moment.

Recognizing his concern, Arabella knew he must have feelings for Joyce. She softly added, "The guys who did this have already been dealt with by my men."

"Why did they attack Joyce?"

"Why do you have so many questions? It's so annoying!" Joyce stomped her foot and walked ahead.

Barry followed her, "You're injured and can't I even ask? What are you carrying? Let me hold it."

Joyce refused, but Barry snatched it from her anyway, "Even when you're hurt, you're hoarding food. You're such a foodie."

"You're the foodie! This is for Nydia."

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"We just had, Bella treated us to a feast!"
