The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1211

A gaggle of girls surrounded Edith, showering her with compliments. Edith, all smiles, returned a few kind words before making her exit.

As the girls prepared to snap some photos for Facebook, Christine chimed in, "There's a lovely corner of Serena's garden filled with exquisite flowers and plants. Plus, there's a swing and some bespoke garden furniture. Should we take our pictures there instead?"

The idea was obviously appealing, promising an air of elegance and class.

"Sounds good!" The girls, clutching their food and drinks, began to head to the designated area when they spotted Romeo and Arabella sitting together, engaged in a seemingly intimate conversation.

"Who's that girl? And what is she doing in Serena's garden?"

"Isn't Romeo engaged to Serena? Why is he chatting with another girl in the Collins family's garden? What's happening?"

"Can someone explain this to me?"

At that moment, Sylvia, who had been quietly observing, let out a sigh. "Oh, Romeo, why the drama! Serena's taking a nap. She can't see any of this!"

"Sylvia, do you know something?"

"Your tone suggests there's more to the story."

"Spill it, Sylvia. What's going on with Romeo and Serena?"

"Why the silence? Aren't we friends?"

"Sylvia, we've been through thick and thin together. You're not keeping secrets from us, are you?"

Cornered by the group's pleas, Sylvia finally spilled the beans.

"What? So Romeo's cozying up with this girl in the Collins family's garden to make Serena jealous and win her back? That's incredibly romantic."

The girls couldn't help but be moved. Where could they find such a man?
