Chapter 1334

"Is it Arlen's birthday today?" Serena's eyes sparkled with surprise and joy. "Well, they say the early

bird catches the worm. I simply must go and celebrate with him!"

Before Eunice could object, Serena chimed in, "I've got a few dresses in my suitcase, and for a

birthday gift. I'll pick something from the presents I brought for Uncle Bard. It's the thought that counts,

right?"

Seeing Serena's enthusiasm, Eunice smiled with her glossy red lips and said, “Serena, honey, your

sister and I will handle it tonight. You just stay home and take it easy, okay?"

Serena hadn't expected Aunt Eunice to turn her down again, and her eyes betrayed a hint of hurt.

"There will be plenty of other birthday parties to attend, but we'll skip this one for tonight,’ Eunice said,

then turned to Arabella, “We should get going. It's getting late."

“Okay.” Arabella followed Aunt Eunice, passing by Serena, who couldn't help but sense Serena's

boiling resentment and jealousy.

That girl never seemed to learn from her past mistakes.

Serena watched Eunice leave the main house and couldn't hold back any longer. She hurried after her,

quickly catching up and taking Eunice's hand with a firm grip.

“Aunt Eunice, let me at least see you off.

Though she said "you,’ Serena clung to Eunice’s hand with an almost possessive air, as if to assert her

territory over Arabella or deliberately leave her out in the cold.

Normally, Serena would sprinkle the conversation with sweet nothings, like "I must not be doing as well

as my sister; that's why Aunt Eunice prefers her company. After all, I'm not really a Collins by blood; it's

only right that I shouldn't go"

But Aunt Eunice was sharp as a tack, so Serena dared not lay it on too thick.

Instead, she just clung to Eunice's hand, playing the sentimentality card.

“Aunt Eunice, it's been so long since we've had a chat, and now you're leaving again. I just want to

walk you out; at least that way, I can spend a little more time with you."

Eunice laughed, “Since when did you become such a clingy kid?"

Serena grinned sweetly, “Ever since last time, when I thought I might never see you again, I've been

kicking myself for not making more time for the people I care about. Auntie, when was the last time we

had a proper walk together like this."

“It's been a while, Eunice admitted, stopping in her tracks to turn and wave Arabella over, “What's

taking you so long? Hurry up."

As Arabella caught up, Eunice took her hand and said, "There'll be a bunch of relatives at Arlen's

place. Don't be nervous, I'll introduce you to each one."

“Okay."

"My sister's not one to get stage fright easily, Serena said, her voice bright with admiration. "She's a lot

like you, Aunt Eunice. I need to learn from both of you."

Eunice smiled but noticed that Arabella was very quiet, not joining in the laughter, as if she hadn't

heard Serena at all.

Serena walked them to the driveway, her voice tinged with reluctance, "Auntie, you and my sister come

back early. Otherwise, I'll miss you."

“Sure thing, Eunice replied as she opened the car door for Arabella to get in before instructing, "If you

get hungry or thirsty, just tell the staff what you want"

"Don't worry, Aunt Eunice, it's not my first rodeo here!" Serena flashed a sweet smile. "Goodbye, Aunt

Eunice.

Goodbye, Bella. Have a smooth ride."

Arabella couldn't help but feel speechless. Just yesterday, Serena had drenched her with two bottles of

wine, and yet today, she could smile and say goodbye as if nothing had happened.
