The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1112

The brothers set Arabella down.

Arabella couldn't help but giggle at their costumes, particularly the white beards.

Snowflakes were cascading down, making the scene even more magical, as if straight out of a fairytale.

Hans gazed at his sister with affection, "When David came up with this idea, I thought it was boring, and I kind of rejected it when he forced me to wear this white beard,. But now, seeing you laugh, I think I might keep it on just to see you smile more."

"Shoo, stop being so cheesy!" David playfully pushed Hans away, then grinned at Arabella, "So sis, what do you think of my idea?"

"It's pretty silly." Arabella chuckled, "But it's a nice surprise. I love it. Thanks, Hans, Chasel, Clark, David, and mom and dad, and uncle Sampson."

When Arabella wasn't being aloof, she had the most beautiful smile.

The brothers made a mental note to make her laugh more often.

Her laughter was therapeutic, infecting everyone around her with joy.

"Sweetie, no need to thank us." Chasel affectionately ruffled Arabella's hair, instigating protests from the other brothers.

"Stop messing up Bella's hair! Bella, let David help you."

"Hands off, did you wash your hands? Bella, my hands are the cleanest. I’m a forensic scientist, always disinfecting."

"Who's the cleanest of us all? Don’t you know that?" Hans attempted to keep fixing Arabella's hair.
