The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1603

Every bout of sickness, every injury, every tear shed, they felt a wrenching pang of heartache, a surge of urgency, a wave of worry.

Kenneth's eyes welled with tears as he read each line. After all, eighteen years of nurturing had entwined his heart and soul with hers, awakening memories of warmth and joy that now tugged at his heartstrings.

"Let's give her another chance." Kenneth said, his heart melting, "It seems like she truly realizes her mistake."

Edith was busy directing the house staff in decorating the house. New Year was around the corner, and the home was adorned with festive cheer. Seeing Serena attempting her old tricks, Edith couldn't help feeling anxious as she noticed Mr. And Mrs. Collins being swayed by Serena's act.

"Mr. and Mrs. Collins, you can't take Serena's words at face value!" Edith blurted out, stepping forward, "Do you remember Ms. Antonia, Melissa, Una, and Christine? They were Ms. Serena 's best friends, and they had a falling out with her last time!"

Louisa looked up, momentarily distracted from Serena's words, inquiring in somewhat surprise, "What happened?"

"The last time they came to visit Ms. Serena, they ran into Ms. Arabella. They insulted her, calling Ms. Arabella a home-wrecker. It was only when Hans interrogated them that they revealed Ms. Serena had told them she broke up with Mr. McMillian. Ms. Serena claimed Mr. McMillian, in a bid to win her back, took up with Ms. Arabella to make her jealous."

"What did you say?" Louisa was initially moved by Serena's plea but now felt a mix of confusion and shock.

Kenneth couldn't believe his ears. What kind of lies were these? How could she?
