The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 615

"Alright."

Romeo watched as she lifted her slender neck, taking sips from her cup, his heart aching more with every drink.

Already uncomfortable from her period, she still had to drink this crap. It was too much.

He decided he'd check later to see which manufacturer produced it to see if it could be improved. He couldn't bear to see his girlfriend suffering like this.

Once she finished drinking, Romeo took the cup and placed it aside, whispering, "Why not use it? Is it too cool or too hot?"

"It's a bit heavy and uncomfortable on my stomach."

"Then let me warm you up." Romeo gently caressed her lower abdomen and asked, "Is this better?"

Arabella wanted to say his hand was too cold, less warm than the hot-water bottle. But seeing his earnest effort, she nodded her head in the end.

His eyes didn't miss the expression on her face. Romeo thought for a moment and placed his hand on his stomach. He realized his palm temperature wasn't warm enough, despite the clothing.

He grabbed the hot-water bottle again, warming his hands first before placing them on Arabella's abdomen.

"Is this better than before?"

Seeing his sincere inquiry, Arabella felt warmth in her heart.

He could catch and comprehend every single expression and glance from her.

"Yeah, much better," Arabella replied with a smile.

"I have some painkillers that the doctor said can help if the pain gets too intense."

Just then, Arabella's phone started to vibrate. Romeo stood up and said, "I'll get it."

The phone screen flashed. It was a call from Caden.

Seeing that name, Romeo hesitated. Was this guy always calling Arabella? For what reason at this late hour? Did he think Arabella was alone at school without her fiancé?
