Chapter 13
Edith’s voice politely echoed from outside the door, “Miss, your parents invite you to the garden.”
Arabella understood. This must be the surprise they prepared. She closed the door and followed Edith
to the garden. As soon as she stood at the garden entrance, everything around her suddenly darkened.
Every light in the mansion was turned off.
Three seconds later, dreamy lights lit the place again.
“Miss, this way please.” Edith gestured, bending slightly.
Arabella stepped into the garden and saw beautiful star lights hanging from the trees. Countless
colored balloons floated in the air and colorful ribbons fell from the sky.
This was the surprise they prepared for her?
Having never received such a surprise from Attlee and Olga, she now felt their love and attention
towards her.
Inside the house, Serena was stunned. Why did they release the ribbons without telling her? But this
scene would definitely get lots of likes on social media. She was about to go to the garden to take
some photos when she realized her parents had already run out excitedly, shouting, “Our baby
daughter!”
Serena blushed slightly. She had never been called such an affectionate name by her parents. Was it
because they hadn’t seen her for a long time? Did they think she was in the garden and that was why
they ran out so excitedly? They didn’t know their baby daughter was still inside!
Serena had a happy smile on her face and was about to enter the garden when she saw her parents
holding hands with a girl, saying something affectionately.
The girl was slender, with delicate skin, unlike Serena’s, which had been pampered with countless
skincare products. The girl’s skin was more natural and glowing. As they approached, Serena noticed
the girl’s simple attire, but her features were striking. The girl had a face that somewhat resembled her
mother’s. A gust of wind blew, causing the girl’s hair to sway. She looked mesmerizing. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Why was there such a guest at home? Serena was puzzled. It seemed that her parents valued this girl
very much.
“Bella, how do you like the surprise in the garden? Isn’t it surprising? Do you like it?” Before Kenneth
could finish, he noticed Serena standing there, slightly surprised, “Serena? Weren’t you supposed to
arrive tomorrow afternoon? How come you’re here today?”
Hearing her father say that the surprise in the garden was prepared for the girl, Serena was surprised
and confused. She didn’t understand why her parents valued a stranger so much. But there were
guests present, so she behaved appropriately and said with a gentle smile, “Dad, Mom, I came back
early on a friend’s plane. Who is she?”
Perhaps Kenneth hadn’t expected Serena to suddenly appear here. He quickly smiled, “You came at
the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Arabella, your sister!”
Sister? What sister? A distant relative?
The girl was dressed plainly, not like a close relative. All their close relatives were very rich and had a
high social status. This plainly dressed girl might be a distant relative. She could be here to establish
connections or to borrow money?
Kenneth didn’t notice her thoughts and turned to Arabella, “Arabella, this is Serena, who I told you
about. She just finished her exams and is now on summer vacation, so she’ll be staying with us.”
Serena, with her lively eyes, seemed to understand and greeted her politely, “Hello.”
Although she addressed Arabella as her sister on the surface, she didn’t take her seriously and treated
her as a poor
relative.
“The clothes and shoes you ordered have arrived. They were personally delivered by the brand’s
manager. They’re inside.” Kenneth said.
“They arrived so soon?” Louisa was overjoyed, holding Arabella’s hand and saying, “Let’s go and see if
you like them. Serena, I have something to tell you later.”
Serena was stunned. The beautiful clothes and shoes inside were prepared for the girl in front of her?
Who exactly was this girl? Why was she so valued by her parents?
