The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode novel Chapter 1411

Chapter 1411

Serena watched as May kept her gaze lowered, never even glancing her way, and irritation bubbled within her. It was just a servant, for crying out loud, too stuck-up to appreciate a kind gesture.

Thinking she's all high and mighty.

Just then, an excited voice broke through the tension.

"Darling, my darling"

Darren heard his wife had finally arrived, and he hobbled as fast as he could, leaning heavily on his cane, wishing he could move faster.

The help trailed behind him with a wheelchair, offering a helpless smile while explaining, "Mr. Darren refuses to sit in the wheelchair. He says it'll ruin his image."

Arabella, standing by the door, had to suppress a giggle. Did he really think hobbling on a cane was any better for his image?

Belinda hurried over to steady him. "What on earth happened to you?"

"Just took a little tumble, it’s nothing” Darren wrapped his arms around his wife. “You're finally here. It feels like an age since we last saw each other! I must say, my dear, you're still radiant. Your face is more delicate than the roses in the garden."

The staff couldn't help but snicker at Darren's remarks.

Belinda swatted him playfully. "People are listening, have you no shame?

Look at all these wrinkles, and you are still comparing me to flowers."

She touched her face subconsciously as she spoke.

"You look beautiful! Even more so than when you married me." Darren kissed her forehead solemnly before saying, "From now on, you're not going anywhere. It's my turn to take care of you"

Knowing the risks involved, Arabella didn't disclose details, simply saying, "Seeing you and Grandpa together makes me truly happy for both of you."

“All thanks to you.” Darren lavished Arabella with praise from head to toe, completely oblivious to another granddaughter standing by.

Serena noted that ever since Arabella had shown up, her grandparents had showered her with affection and attention, more so than they ever did with Serena herself.

On the other hand, she felt utterly dispensable, despite being their granddaughter by blood.

She remembered how she'd gone to greet her grandmother when she arrived, and not once did her grandma embrace her, even though Serena had spent nearly an hour sweetly holding her hand.

It seemed blood ties trumped all!

And her grandpa hadn't even acknowledged her since he appeared, as if she was invisible.
