The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2016

Martin was no match for the moment; he tangled with Serena's lips, ferocious and fiery.

After giving him a taste of sweetness, Serena shyly pushed him away.

Desire still smoldered in Martin's eyes. He rasped, his voice husky as he looked at the demure girl

wearing a blissful smile, "Are you serious?"

A flicker of disappointment and hurt crossed Serena's eyes, "So my big confession just now fell flat?

You don’t believe me? You think I'm just toying with you? Or do you despise me because I'm in a

wheelchair, thinking I'm an embarrassment. If that's the case, just pretend I never said a thing. Let me

down, please."

Her words were cut short as he silenced her with a kiss.

After a long, passionate moment, Martin gazed at her with excitement and joy he couldn't contain, his

smile unstoppable, "Alright, let's get engaged. But it should be me asking you. Give me a bit of time, I'll

organize something special tonight."

"No need," Serena quickly interjected, "I don't care about the formalities. I just want to settle down, be

with someone I love. No matter how many great guys are out there, no matter what the world says or

thinks, as long as we’re happy together for the rest of our lives, that's enough for me."

As she spoke, Serena's eyes sparkled with anticipation and sweetness, "I even want to have two kids

with you, a boy and a girl."

Moved and elated, Martin watched her, "I'm glad you feel this way. Serena, you've changed, you love

me even more."

"But," Serena hesitated again, "I'm afraid your family won't accept me. I don't want to cause you

trouble."

"I'll handle that," Martin assured her. "Just tell me when you want to get engaged, and I'll take care of

the rest."

"The sooner, the better!" Serena said eagerly, "I want to cut ties with the past quickly and start a new

life with you, a fresh identity." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Okay, I'll talk to my family, pick a date, and we'll get engaged as soon as possible."

Martin's words made Serena wrap her arms around his neck with sheer joy in her eyes.

She had one thought: she had to hold on tight to this man. Otherwise, from every member of the

Collins family to the clerks at the mall, anyone could look down on her, take her for granted.

That was the advantage of marrying into the Cooper family!

With that thought, Serena hugged Martin's neck tighter, her smile beaming. Coոtent of
