The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 1991

"Your daughter? Well, if your daughter attracts attention with her thick glasses, suitors for my daughter

would line up from Times Square to the Golden Gate Bridge." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, let's all calm down. The marriage prospects of the younger generation have you all too

concerned; I feel terribly burdened for making you all worry so much."

Before David could fully broker peace, everyone's gaze suddenly fell upon him.

"David, tell us, what do you think of Melissa? Is she a good match?"

"David, now in front of me, just give it to me straight—do you fancy Linda?"

"David, why don't you just lay out your criteria for choosing your partner?"

"The daughters and nieces of the guests here, even Mrs. Lee's granddaughter —who would you pick?"

David hadn't expected that the difficult question had been kicked to him.

Just then, Arabella walked in, and David had an idea, "Truth be told, I do have a girlfriend. It's just that

due to certain sensitivities, we haven't gone public."

"What?" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Which family's darling is she? She’s better than our Melissa? Or do you just look down on my girl?"

"David, do you really have a girlfriend? Are you serious?"

"But I was on the phone with your mother just yesterday, and she was quite sure that you're the only

single person in the family."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my sister." David hooked his arm around Arabella's neck, pulling

her close, "Bella, tell them, am I dating Kelly?"

"Kelly? The Miss Piper from the Piper family?"

The guests were stunned. The standing of the Piper family was leagues above anyone else present.

If David was really dating Kelly, then their kids really didn’t stand a chance.

"Just nod if it's true," David said with a smile, shooting a pleading look at his sister.

Arabella knew he was fibbing, but given the circumstances, she obediently and seriously nodded her

head while internally dissenting.

"Forgive me, it is due to company policies that we've had to keep quiet. Please understand."

Arabella noticed the man's expression which didn't seem truly happy.

"Yes, now that you have a girlfriend, your parents can finally be relieved, and we don't have to worry

about you anymore." Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com

The guests quickly shifted to polite small talk, as if the earlier quarrel had never happened.

Arabella's eyes were wide open once again.
