The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1082

"I heard from Mark that you enjoy a good cup of tea. How about we skip the meal and have a few cups of tea before you leave?" Sampson suggested warmly.

Arabella could see that he genuinely wanted to thank her from the bottom of his heart, so she agreed, "Sure."

A smile spread across Sampson's face. He led Arabella to the garden where the best tea and pastries were being served.

Mark, who was accompanying them, sincerely thanked Arabella for her compassionate care.

At that moment, the villa's majestic front doors slowly opened, and eight uniformed servants hurried out to welcome the incoming guests.

Arabella followed their gaze and saw a black car parked outside the entrance. The driver opened the car door, and a man and a woman stepped out.

"My sister and her husband are here," Sampson said.

He had sent someone to pick them up from their hotel that morning, and they were finally here. He knew they'd be thrilled to know that their mother's condition could be treated.

Sampson grinned, deciding to keep them in suspense for a bit longer. "You'll be surprised when you see my sister. You two look strikingly similar."

"I'll go welcome them. Wait here," Sampson stood up, smoothed out his suit, and walked towards the entrance.

Mark also rose to his feet. "I'll go say hello too. I'll be right back."

"Sure, go ahead," Arabella nodded. Once they were out of earshot, she pulled out her phone to reply to Romeo's text.

As Louisa was led into the villa by the eight servants, she glanced at the garden to her right and saw a young woman sitting at a table, engrossed in her phone.
