Chapter 1853

The brothers stepped forward to lend their hands, with Sean being the first to take the present from

Ophelia's hands. When the girl thanked him, he was on the verge of introducing himself, but her hand

was promptly taken by her mother in the next moment.

"This child, she's a real beauty, just like our Bella. Those features, that grace, simply stunning," Louisa

said warmly as she gently took her hand. "It's chilly out here, let's head inside to chat."

"Hey there, I'm Bella's dad. Right this way." Kenneth said with a welcoming gesture and a beaming

smile.

Ophelia hadn't expected such a grand reception just for coming to visit Arabella. She was utterly

flabbergasted. "You're too kind, even coming out to greet me personally."

"You're Bella's friend; we're just as thrilled as she is that you're here. Welcome! Do come by more often

when you have the time!" Louisa said enthusiastically, linking arms with her and Bella. "We'll grab a bite

in a bit, and then Bella can show you around. Oh, and these gentlemen are Bella's brothers—there's

Hans, Chase, Clark, and Sean. There’s also another brother named David, who’s been tied up with

work and hasn't made it back yet."

When she got to Sean, he instinctively held his breath.

Dressed to the nines tonight, he looked as though he'd just returned from an evening gala, shedding

his usual aloof coolness for a more polished charm.

At first, his brothers were puzzled by his attire since it seemed a bit too formal for home.

It wasn't until he offered an excuse about attending a friend's wedding and carefully timed his return.

A closer look revealed that from his hair down to his shoes, including the color of his socks, everything

was different from his usual style.

But with so many brothers to meet, Ophelia could hardly take it all in, nodding with a smile, "Hello, it's a

pleasure to meet you all."

Sean was about to say something when he overheard her asking Arabella, "Why does your house

have so many bodyguards?"

It looked like the place was on high alert, as if something had happened.

"Something came up at home recently, which has prompted an increase in security—but rest assured,

it's safe here. Feel free to relax and enjoy yourself. And if you get tired, you're welcome to stay over.

We've got plenty of guest rooms; pick whichever you like. I'll have Bella show you around later so you

can choose." Louisa explained.

"You're so kind, thank you for your generosity, Mrs. Collins. My place is only a twenty-minute drive from

here, which is quite close, and with the holidays coming up, I wouldn't want to impose. But thank you

again for your warm hospitality."

"Thank me? Dear, you're being too formal."

For the first time, Ophelia was experiencing the warmth of the Collins family. She exchanged knowing

looks with Arabella as if to say: OMG! Your family is just so welcoming and friendly!

"You don't need to change shoes; just come on in," Louisa invited her warmly as they entered the main

house.

"No, no, no, I’ll change them. Your floors are so clean, and the atmosphere is so cozy. You are all so

warm and kind. Bella must feel so blessed and happy coming home to this."

Louisa beamed with joy upon hearing her words, "You're such a charmer. Oh, I just realized, we didn't

even ask your name?"

"The daughter of the Almond family, Ophelia," Hans and Sean suddenly chimed together.
