The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 976

Louisa paused and added, “Serena, I understand that Bella's return to our family might make you feel a bit put off, but Bella is our flesh and blood. She needed to be here. I hope that you two can get along, because you both mean so much to me.”

Serena was puzzled by her mother's sudden statement.

“Bella had a tough time with the Murphy family in the past, and now that Clark is willing to take her on a trip abroad, don’t let it bother you. Your brothers took you out a lot when you were younger.”

So that was it!

Serena sighed with relief and laughed, “Mom, why would I be upset? I'm not petty. Bella is so amazing. Not only do the other brothers like her, but I do too. Don't worry, and we'll get along better than real sisters. No matter how long she spends with the brothers, I won't let it bother me. Seeing our family so harmonious makes me happy. Why would I be upset?”

To dispel Louisa's concerns, Serena added, “If sis doesn’t like me, I can get married and move out sooner.”

She stuck her tongue out at Louisa playfully, making her mother laugh, “You silly girl.”

Louisa had felt that Serena was somewhat unhappy about Clark taking Bella out these past few days, but it seemed she was overthinking.

Serena was perfectly fine with it, and it was Louisa who was being overly concerned.

Meanwhile.

The plane landed at Mystic Oak House, Clark's private residence. The lawn alone was several acres, giving it a grand appearance.

Dennis received the coordinates and had been waiting. When he saw Clark carrying Carol down the stairs of the plane, he hurried over.

“I’ll take her.” Dennis extended his arms.

But Clark did not hand Carol over, “She's injured. I don't want to jostle her. I can carry her.”
