The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel 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."

"I 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 I 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 I could come to 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?"
