Chapter 283
Speaking of which, she innocently turned around, ready to leave.
Just then, the living room phone rang. As soon as Edith picked it up, she hurriedly brought it over and said, “Madam, someone’s looking for you.”
She handed the phone to Louisa, adding, “It’s from Brooklyn”
Brooklyn?
Serena wanted to snatch the phone, but it was too late. With one foot already out of the dining room, she was in a state of indecision, feeling uneasy and anxious.
“Brooklyn“” Louisa took over the phone and asked affectionately, “What’s up?”
“Auntie, Serena’s phone is off, I’m worried about her. I have to tell you something about your relative, Arabella.”
Brooklyn wanted to say that Arabella had violent tendencies.
But Louisa asked naturally, “Oh, you mean my daughter Bella? What’s wrong with her?”
“Your daughter?” Now it was Brooklyn’s turn to be stunned. He stuttered for a few seconds before asking! “Arabella is your daughter?”
“Yes.”
“Your own child?”
“Yes.”
“So she’s really Serena’s?”
“Sister.”
“Then why did Serena say she’s.”
“What?”
Brooklyn asked subconsciously, “Isn’t Arabella your relative?”
“Did Serena tell you that? That Bella is a relative?”
Hearing this, Serena hurriedly ran over and took the phone. “Brooklyn! Why are you calling again? What relative! Stop talking nonsense! We’re busy; stop causing trouble!”
After hanging up, Serena quickly explained, “Mom, don’t listen to Brooklyn’s nonsense; she must have heard wrong. I never said that sis is a relative.”
Seeing her panicked and angry, Louisa’s gaze darkened a bit. “Serena, you’ve always been an understanding and kind child. You should know what to do next.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll tell all my friends that sis and Romeo are the real couple; I’m just an adopted daughter. I absolutely won’t compete with her for a husband. I won’t take anything that belongs to her! Believe it or not, in my heart, sis is the most important. I’m really sorry if you guys misunderstood!”
She shed two lines of tears and took the opportunity to leave.
Arabella had been watching this drama while eating and was now full.
“Dad, mom, take your time. I’m going upstairs.” She was preparing to leave.
“Bella.” Louisa quickly stopped her and said, “Let me put some medicine on you.”
“No need; I can handle this minor injury myself.”
Arabella didn’t think much of the injury, but Louisa insisted on making her sit down and, following Romeo’s handwritten instructions, first applied some swelling medicine and then some pain relief cream.
“Did Brooklyn give you trouble today? What did she say?” Louisa wanted to get a clear picture of what happened.
“She didn’t say much.”
It was all a load of bull.
