The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819

"How could I let you do that? As long as I'm here, you won't have to lift a finger to crack any shellfish." Clark cracked a few more for her, but then fell silent.

He wanted to ask his sister, "How did you become such an expert hacker? Where did you learn this? How can you manage your studies while being so skilled at hacking?"

But with so many people around, he only asked, "Are you getting used to being back home?"

"Yep."

"Is there anything you need to improve with regards to food, clothing, shelter, or transportation?"

"Everything is good."

Clark dropped the peeled shrimp into her bowl, "Nobody bullies you at home, do they?"

At this, Martha quickly glanced at Arabella, afraid she might say something out of line.

Arabella was a bit surprised. Why was Clark asking such a question? Was it just a casual inquiry, or had he noticed something?

"If anyone bullies you, remember to tell me."

"Okay."

Clark put the peeled shrimp into her bowl. He found her very obedient. Whether it was the way she talked or ate, she was just too adorable.

At that moment, Serena placed a peeled shrimp into Clark's bowl.

"Clark, you should eat too. The food will get cold."

Clark only then remembered that he had another sister.

He had been so focused on peeling shrimp for Arabella that he had neglected Serena.

"You can peel shrimp now." Clark saw the poorly peeled shrimp in his bowl. His eyes softened, he placed the shrimp back into Serena's bowl and didn't eat it. "You eat it. You're too thin."

"Debby, you talk too much.’ Clark lifted his eyes and looked at Debby, his voice a bit cold. "Bella also served me a lot of food. Why haven't I heard you praise her?"

"Right, Miss Bella also did well."

"Serving food is not a competition. If you serve me, should I have to serve you in return, and it's not okay if I serve less? Then what are we all eating for? We might as well just serve each other."

Seeing her son getting angry, Louisa was a bit startled. They were all eating peacefully. Why did he start criticizing the help?

"I'm sorry, Clark. It's my fault. I just saw Serena doing well."

"If you want to praise, then praise all the people. If you pick one to praise, what would the other think?"

At this, Louisa finally understood why her son was angry. It made sense. Debby kept saying Serena was doing well, that Serena was a good sister, but what about Bella? She must have felt terrible.

"Debby, if you don't know how to talk, then keep silent. You can leave, we don't need your service here.” Louisa was also a bit upset.
