Chapter 1370

"Grandpa, you finally came!" Serena quickly left her seat, went up to Darren, and took his hand affectionately. “I wanted to talk to

you last night, but Bella said you were off to bed"

"lI was pooped last night," Darren replied with a warm smile.

But Serena couldn't help thinking, if he was so tired, why did he keep Arabella in his room for a private chat?

"Grandpa, you have no idea how much | missed you while you were out of it,” Serena said as she pulled out a chair for him and

helped him sit down. She then sat beside him, still holding his hand, and cooed, “It's been such a relief to finish the semester so |

could cto see you. And Aunt Eunice made it back safe and sound, too. It's just so great to see all of you!"

At that moment, a servant brought in breakfast, and Serena hurried to help serve it in front of Darren.

“Grandpa, this is your favorite pumpkin and millet porridge."

The bowl was a bit hot, and after setting it down, Serena quickly touched her earlobe.

"Did you burn your hand?" Darren asked with concern.

"No, it's fine,” Serena laughed, serving the other side dishes in front of him and arranging the silverware before sweetly adding,

‘Eat up while it's hot, Grandpa!"

Darren chuckled. "Such a thoughtful child."

Another servant brought Eunice her breakfast. As Serena helped serve it, the bowl was indeed too hot, and just half a meter from

the table, she accidentally let go.

In a flash, Bard swept Eunice into his arms and turned to shield her.

The soup splashed onto Bard's clothes and spilled all over the table, creating a messy scene.

Serena, burned by the heat, recoiled and was visibly shaken. “I'm so sorry, Uncle Bard, Aunt Eunice, are you both okay?"

She just wanted to make a good impression but ended up messing things up again.

Seeing that his wife was unharmed, Bard finally said, “It's alright."

Eunice, noticing his stained clothes, pulled out a tissue to wipe him down, thankful that the thick clothes and cold weather

prevented any burns.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. | tried to be clever and just messed up,” Serena said, full of remorse.

"It's okay, | know it wasn't on purpose. Let's have breakfast,” Bard instructed the servants to prepare another serving.

Two more servants quickly started cleaning up the chaotic table.

Then Arabella arrived.

Everyone greeted her with smiles as she entered the room.

Serena felt a twinge of jealousy. Everyone seemed more enthusiastic about Arabella than her!

Despite her discomfort, Serena still managed to smile and called out to her sister, making sure to keep up appearances.

The servant respectfully approached, "Ms. Bella, for breakfast we have soup, pumpkin porridge, bread and pastries, milk, cheese

omelets, sandwiches, and rolled omelets. Plus, we have sside dishes. What would you like?"

“Give Bella a little of everything, Darren said enthusiastically. “It's not every day we have her over, so bring out all the good stuff

for Bella! And Bella, if there's anything you don't like, just tell me, and | won't let them make it anymore"

“I'm not picky; Arabella said with a smile. "But serving too much might mean | can't finish it all."

"You downed more fried chicken thanlast night, so I'm pretty sure you can handle it. It's no problem for you!" Darren teased.
