The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 367

"Sure thing."

Hans' confident tone brought a smile to Serena's face, "I knew my big brother is the best!"

"Bella just returned home, and everyone is understandably worried about her feelings. This might make you think we're treating you differently than before."

"But let me tell you," Hans said heartily, "In our parents' eyes and mine, including the other brothers, you're still a part of this family and that has never changed."

Upon hearing this, Serena felt uneasy, sensing an undercurrent in his words. Did he come to her late at night to warn her about something?

"How have Mom and Dad been treating you these years?" Hans asked.

"Obviously great," Serena answered without hesitation, "They've always told me that I'm their most precious treasure, and they'd give me the world if they could."

"And how about me? How have I treated you?"

"brother, you've always bought me anything that suits me. Some new styles that I couldn't find. You managed to get them for me."

"And our other brothers, how have they treated you?"

"They're great too!" Serena was puzzled and decided to take the initiative, "Brother, why are you asking all these out of nowhere?"

"I want to tell you," Hans said solemnly, "Bella has been lost for 18 years, and it's been a struggle for her to come back home. Mom, Dad, and I want to make it up to her. It may seem to you that we're favouring her over you, but what we're giving her now is what you've had all these 18 years."
