The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 817

"I'm just curious." Clark noted her wariness, his smile intensifying. "Seems like you two aren't exactly getting along."

Serena lowered her gaze, taking a moment before opting for honesty. "At first, Mom and Dad suddenly brought her home without any warning. I wasn't prepared at all. That day, they had prepared a magical surprise for her. I thought it was for me, and ended up making a fool of myself."

Her eyes seemed to dim, "Then I found out she was the real daughter of this family, and I was the adopted one. Her arrival divided my parents' attention, and even Romeo started to like her. So, if I say I have zero resentment towards her, it would be a lie."

Serena's gaze dimmed for a while before she spoke again, "Afterwards, after everything that happened, I suddenly wanted to be friends with her, but she doesn't seem to want to be friends with me."

"What do you mean?" Clark seemed a bit puzzled.

"She doesn't seem to care about these trivial matters."

In Serena's memory, Bella was either soaked in her lab doing experiments or busy with her business across the country. She didn't seem to care about sisterly bonds.

"And what about her?" Clark asked again.

"Her personality is pretty neutral. She treats everyone the same. It's not like she's targeting me."

Clark was surprised to hear this. Unlike Martha, Serena didn't take the opportunity to badmouth Bella, but expressed her thoughts fairly.

"What about other aspects?"

"Other aspects?" Serena pondered for a moment, "She's quite outstanding. Anyway, you'll know when you meet her, Clark."

It seemed that his younger sister was not too bad in Serena's eyes.
