The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1573

Was that really Romeo?

The same Romeo they knew, who was so reticent and icy, devoid of emotion?

It's true what they say, every man in love turns into a boy. That's no joke.

From the looks of it, Romeo seemed to be more head over heels for that girl. She, on the other hand, had been playing it cool throughout.

That level of composure was impressive.

"Today, I suddenly realized David is quite a looker," Romeo said, paying his friend a rare compliment.

"Isn't it just because you're in a good mood and everyone seems nice to you?" Arabella chuckled. "Don't you think that the backup dancers are really dedicated and have some slick moves too?"

Romeo nodded, "Yeah, and I also think you're looking particularly charming today, really adorable."

Arabella couldn't withstand his gaze and once again turned her attention to the stage.

"If I were to start performing, would you watch me with the same eyes you have for David, attending every concert?" Romeo asked in a low voice.

"Nope, no time for that."

Romeo watched her with a smile. The girl's blunt response made her even more endearing to him.

As the concert was drawing to a close, Arabella leaned in and whispered, "I'm going to the restroom."

"I'll come with you," Romeo instantly offered, starting to get up.

"Just stay here and shoot the video, I'll be right back," Arabella patted his head, signaling him to wait patiently.

Romeo leaned in again, whispering, "Call me if you need anything."
