The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1415

Chapter 1415

"Mom, I've missed you too. Seeing you safe and sound before me, it fills me with joy. It's good to have you back, that's all that matters."

"Mom, it was my fault for worrying you before.” Eunice reached out to wipe away Belinda’s tears, explaining, "I was investigating the whole Calvin and Arlen situation and didn't dare reveal that I was alive. I feared tipping off our enemies. Rest assured, I was well taken care of by Alexander, nothing happened, and he didn't take advantage of me in the slightest."

Not like the rumors that were swirling about her virtue being compromised.

"Silly child, what are you talking about! As long as you're alive, even if you were missing an arm or a leg, our Griffith family would still embrace you!"

Belinda caught herself, realizing her words might have come off wrong, and quickly corrected, “Tut-tut-tut, what I mean is, no matter what happens, you will always be a part of the Griffith family. We will never abandon you, no matter the circumstance."

"Thanks, Mom." Eunice said, moved as she snuggled closer into her arms.

Arabella noticed the contrast in her aunt's demeanor and found the change from strong-willed woman to this gentle figure quite endearing.

However, Serena didn't share the sentiment. She had been enjoying a warm Moment with her grandparents just before her aunt's arrival shifted the attention, leaving her feeling sidelined.

"If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have known that Calvin, Arlen, and those heartless cousins of yours were up to such despicable acts behind our backs!"

Belinda was so furious when she heard the news that she felt her blood boiling. Luckily, Arabella had left some medicine with May before she left, which saved Belinda from a potential stroke.

"It's all thanks to Bella. If it weren't for her being with me that night, I couldn't have handled it alone."
