The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1143

"Alright, alright, alright." Belinda was overjoyed today.

A servant hurried over, bringing a scarf and woolen hat, which Arabella quickly put on her grandmother.

Belinda watched her considerate granddaughter, feeling a warmth spreading in her heart.

When Serena arrived, Arabella was pushing her grandmother back home, their happy chatter filling the air, as if they had just finished a family photo shoot.

Serena's steps awkwardly halted as she watched them in the snowy landscape. She suddenly felt like the ultimate outsider.

"Serena, what are you doing out here? It's freezing, come inside," Kenneth called out to her, not understanding why she was standing at the door.

"I came to pick up Grandma." Serena tried to hide her emotions, forcing a smile, "Arabella, let me push her. You've been looking after her for so long."

The implication was clear: It was her turn now!

"I'm tired, I need to rest," Belinda said, a hint of fatigue in her voice, signaling that she didn't want to engage in idle chatter anymore.

However, a thought crossed her mind. There was still something she wanted to discuss with Arabella. "Bella, take me to my room, I have something to talk to you about."

Serena was taken aback, feeling as awkward as a cat on a hot tin roof. She couldn't understand why her grandmother seemed so close to Arabella since she woke up, even though they were not blood-related.

And even if her grandmother liked Arabella, why was she being ignored? Left feeling awkward?

"Serena, you should go get some rest too," Sampson, sensing her discomfort, tried to smooth things over.

Serena felt humiliated. She refused to believe that her grandmother had so much to talk about with Arabella. Was this just a way to get rid of her, the granddaughter without any blood ties?

All the excuses about being tired and needing rest were just that - excuses!

Her grandmother merely wanted to talk to Arabella alone, that was it!
