The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793

Standing on the second floor, Serena felt as if she were rooted to the spot, unable to take another step.

She hadn't expected George and Jennifer to be so taken with Arabella, nor had she anticipated their words of praise.

It was hard to deny that Arabella was truly blessed!

She had just returned to the McMillian family and was immediately showered with affection from her newfound parents and five brothers. From Grandpa Phillip to the house staff, everyone seemed to adore her deeply.

Arabella was like a shining star, her brilliance causing twinges of pain in the hearts of those who watched from the sidelines.

Serena felt as though she had been abandoned by the world, alone and helpless.

She looked at the happy families below. Once, she had dreamed of a future like this.

But now, Arabella was the leading lady, and she had been relegated to a mere spectator.

Meanwhile, Martha, who was resting in her room, heard from one of the maids that Serena had been standing on the second floor for a long time, seemingly crying and wiping away her tears in silence.

Having watched Serena grow up over the years, Martha understood her feelings well. She quickly sent someone to comfort Serena.

Debby, who always followed Martha's orders, quickly appeared with a change of clothes for Serena, feigning surprise, "Serena, what's wrong?"

Serena quickly covered her mouth, "Shush."

Arabella wasn't sure when her parents had prepared these gifts, but she could tell that both families valued her highly.

"Louisa, this is too much. We can't accept them;' Jennifer protested.

Louisa, however, insisted that her staff load the gifts into their car, "These are tokens of our appreciation. You must accept them."

Listening to their parents call each other in-laws and argue over the gifts, Arabella was left in awe. In the end, Louisa won, returning most of their gifts and keeping only a few.

Romeo then politely said, "You should rest early. I'll take Bella back to school."

But it seemed that Jennifer didn’t believe him.
