The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 339

Martha spoke in a sincere tone: "Since we've only been dating for a few days and there's a lot of uncertainty, I didn't tell you about this yet, not because I wanted to hide it."

"I planned on telling you guys after the summer holidays." At this point, Serena's face showed the unique bashfulness and sweetness of a young girl. Clearly, she had really fallen for Martin.

"You and Martin are really dating?" Louisa asked doubtfully.

"Martha!" Serena pretended to scold Martha for revealing her secret.

Martha quickly explained, "Serena, you've got someone who cares and loves you; your mom would be happy for you too. It's okay to say it. Mister, Lady, if you don't believe me, Mr. Cooper will come tonight. He said he's taking Serena to the movies; you'll know then if what I'm saying is true."

Kenneth and Louisa exchanged glances, thinking, If Martha or Serena were lying, what were the odds they'd mention that Mr. Cooper was taking Serena out to the movies tonight?

They must really be dating. If Serena really had someone she liked, that's a good thing. She would finally move on from Romeo.

They knew Serena; if she really couldn't let go of Romeo, she wouldn't accept another boy's pursuit, let alone be with him.

It seemed like they're really dating.

Edith couldn't help but say, "Just now Lily had Ms. Bella call Mr. McMillan to prove her innocence; can Serena also call Mr. Cooper to confirm their relationship?"

"Edith, do you not trust Serena? Or do you not trust me? Do you think I'm making up a person? Even if I made up a person, how could Serena just casually date someone? Serena is a person with standards! Plus, how would I know that this person I supposedly made up is free to take Serena to the movies tonight?"

"Besides, Serena and Mr. Cooper have only been dating for a few days; if you call now, it would just be weird and could affect their relationship!"

The Cooper family was also quite well off; although not as wealthy as the Collins family, the gap wasn't large. Martin was a good-looking and understanding lad.

Louisa asked again, "Then why did you bully Arabella?"

"Lady, you've really misunderstood!" Martha took over the conversation again, explaining, "Lily did that on her own because she didn't like Ms. Bella. You can't blame Serena for that."

"Just because Lily treats Serena well, you can't pin her wrongdoings on Serena; that would be too unfair!"

"Mum, dad, if I really treated sis poorly, I would be severely punished!" Serena didn't believe in karma, but she knew her words wouldn't come true, so she spoke more fervently: "I would be hit by a car when I go out, choke when I eat, and get hit by something falling from above when I walk."

"Enough!" Louisa couldn't listen anymore. "If you don't have any other intentions towards Romeo and you didn't let anyone bully Bella, we'll let this go. But if I find out you're bullying Bella and still harboring illusions about Romeo,"
