Chapter 460
David suddenly realized there was someone else next to him after a while, swiftly turned his head, and said, “Serena?”
“Mm,” Serena responded, a small smile forming on her lips as she heard David call her name.
“How much did you score on the college entrance exam this time?” David hadn’t asked about her scores since he came back; he only knew Bella got full marks.
Even though David’s voice was quite low, Serena’s face turned awkward immediately; she could even hear Alma’s snicker from the side.
“David.” Alma called out with a laugh, volunteering, “Serena got 722 points, and I got 731.”
“I heard the exam was pretty tough this time; good job on getting 731.”
Alma lifted her chin in a challenging manner, throwing a glance at Serena. Before she could even feel proud, she heard David add,
“But Bella is the real badass here.” David said this and took some food for Arabella as the restaurant manager served a plate. “Bella, eat up; you’re too skinny!”
Romeo peeled a shrimp for Arabella and placed it in her bowl. Not to be outdone, David used a tool to extract crab meat and put it in Arabella’s bowl as well.
Louisa served Arabella some veggies, Kenneth refilled her soup, and all eyes were on Arabella.
A calculating glint flashed in Alma’s eyes. She glanced at Serena’s hemline, pressed it down with her chair leg, and raised a glass of orange juice, pretending to say, “Cousin, this one’s for you.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she pretended to drop the juice on Serena’s dress.
“Ah.” Serena didn’t expect this little imp to prank her in front of everyone.
Beverly, who had seen through this little drama, pretended to scold, “Alma, how could you be so careless? Apologize to your sister now!”
“I’m sorry, sis, it wasn’t on purpose!” Alma looked genuinely sorry.
“Are you okay?” David took out some napkins to wipe Serena’s dress, oblivious to the girls‘ squabble.
The hemline was too long to be cleaned completely.:
Serena couldn’t lose her temper in front of everyone, especially with Romeo there, so she stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom to clean this up.”
A gleeful glint flashed in Alma’s eyes, for she had trapped Serena’s hemline under the chair leg.
Serena was in a hurry to go to the restroom. She let out a scream as she stood up and fell to the ground.
“Sis, are you okay? How did you fall?” Alma rushed to help her up, actually just wanting to get a close–up view of her embarrassment, and gave her a smug look. “Did your long dress trip you? You really need to be more careful. Did you hurt yourself?”
