Chapter 649
Dad lied without batting an eye, did he really think he can pull the wool over her eyes?
Instead, it’s the sharp Louisa who suddenly turned to Martha on the side and asked, “Did you spill the beans on Serena?”
“Serena has been missing Chasel. When Chasel suddenly came back today, I was so excited that I let the cat out of the bag.” Martha added, lowering her head on purpose, “I’m sorry, madam, it’s all my fault!”
Louisa was left speechless, as if she didn’t want Serena to see Chasel!
“Serena’s back?” Chasel saw his other sister, treated her no differently, and gently said, “Come eat.”
“Chasel, you’re finally back! It’s been so many months since our last meet–up; I missed you so much!” Serena’s eyes turned red as soon as she saw Chasel, as if she had been wronged.
“You’re all grown up and still crying?” Chasel laughed and pulled out a chair for her. “I’ve been busy with work, and now Bella is back home, so I’ll try to come back whenever I can.”
A servant bowed and handed Serena her cutlery: “Serena, here’s your cutlery.”
Serena, looking at the things in the living room, couldn’t help but ask, “Chasel, did you buy these for me?”
Chasel had said before he left home last time that he would bring her a gift when he returned.
Chasel glanced at the living room and said somewhat guiltily, “No.”
“Huh?”
“They’re for Bella.”
The light in Serena’s eyes dimmed, and she said nothing.
“What do you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
Because he had never bought a gift for Arabella before, he had indeed forgotten about Serena when he was picking out gifts today.
Serena smiled and said, “It’s okay. My sister just came back to this home; it’s only right to buy her more.”
This made Chasel feel even guiltier.
Serena’s eyes fell on Arabella again, and she couldn’t help but compliment her, “Sis, your skin is still so delicate; look at me, I got sunburned! I bet the sunscreen David bought for you works wonders. I’ll have to ask David what brand of sunscreen he bought for you.”
She said this to let everyone know that David only bought for Arabella, not for her, and that Chasel had forgotten about her that day.
Everyone in this family said they treat her as their own, but in the end, every single thing they did was biased.
“I didn’t use the sunscreen David bought.” Arabella suddenly said.
Serena was a bit skeptical, how could it be possible without using sunscreen after being outdoors so much?
“I was born with it,” Arabella spoke the truth.
Edith, on the side, keeping a poker face, tried to defuse the situation: “Ms. Bella’s skin is naturally good, just like the madam!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I never get sunburned, no matter how much sun I get.” Louisa laughed.
“Is it genetic?” Serena lowered her head, feeling like she had no connection with this family.
The atmosphere became awkward once again.
Just then, a voice came over, saying, “Sorry, I’m late.”
It was Romeo!
Hearing his voice, Serena’s eyes lit up again. Was Romeo also coming home for dinner?
“Romeo, have you finished all your stuff?” Kenneth brought over a chair himself and said, “Come over; we’re about to start dinner.”
He placed the chair next to Serena and said, “Serena, stand up and give your seat to Romeo.”
