The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1247

When Hans returned to the office, he found Serena clumsily opening a lunch box with her bandaged hands, revealing the delicate pastries inside.

"Hans, you're back? Come, try the pastries I made!" Serena greeted with a smile, "I made them before I got injured. I left some at home for mom and dad, and for Clark too."

"You made these?" Hans asked, looking at the two dozen delicate pastries before him.

"Yes, the chef taught me!" Serena looked at him expectantly, "Try them."

"You've not fully recovered from your cold. You need rest more." Hans picked up a piece of honey cake and took a bite, "Not bad."

While it was not on par with a professional chef, for a first attempt, it was quite good.

"Really?" Serena was even happier. She also picked up a piece of honey cake, about to take a bite, but her jerk of mouth opening caused the pain on her chin.

"You haven’t told me what happened to you?" Hans suddenly asked.

Serena froze for a moment, thinking that Hans must have heard from the servants that she was chasing after Arabella to apologize and accidentally got hurt. Now he was asking this deliberately, surely he wanted to see if she'd take the opportunity to bad-mouth Arabella.

But Serena wouldn't fall for that!

So she put on a mature and understanding look, and calmly said, "I fell by accident."

She didn't mention Arabella at all.

"That’s it?" Hans asked again.
