All Arabella ever wanted was a happy family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs long as Serena can keep her act together, the family harmony could last.
Serena was wondering: if one day Arabella noticed her change, would she see her differently and accept her as a sister? If that was the case, she was willing to keep trying.
As she was just stepping out of Westerly College, Serena heard two voices.
"Serena, what are you doing here?" Kenneth and Louisa just got off the car, hands full of stuff, obviously here to visit Arabella.

Louisa curiously asked, "Serena, why are you here?" "I wanted to bring smilk and bread for my sister, but." Serena thought for a moment, she couldn't say that Arabella didn't accept her goodwill. Wouldn't that be badmouthing Arabella? So she changed her words: "But | didn't run into her." Oh, so she didn't run into her.
"Did you call her?" Louisa asked with concern, "I heard you've been visiting Westerly College a lot lately. How cyou're going there so often? Since when did you start reading medical books? Is this also for your sister?" "Um, she might be busy. I'll cagain next time." Seeing Louisa was about to call Arabella, Serena quickly said, "Don't mentioncoming to Westerly College. | want to give my sister this book and the other food in person next time. You guys go visit her first and | need to get back to Summerfield College." Louisa glanced at Martha. "You take Serena back to Summerfield College first and we'll clater.” "Okay." Martha had noticed Serena was different from the start. After Kenneth and Louisa left, she couldn't help asking about the situation.
Upon hearing that Serena had been trying to make friends with Arabella but to no avail, she was very anxious.
"Serena, you're really too naive! How could someone like Arabella ever be your friend? She's clearly messing with you!" "I chose to chere every day. Besides, | did a lot of wrong things before. It's normal that she doesn't trustright away." As Serena walked towards Summerfield College, she said, "I've realized it's better to get along with her than to be her enemy in secret. At least | can still stay in this family and enjoy the love from my parents, grandparents, and brothers." Martha: "Serena, you're so clueless! Arabella just cback to this family so her relationship with your parents isn't deep. This is your best chance. Wait until her relationship with the family is strong and everyone respects her, then how could she possibly accommodate you then?" Serena: "As long as | get along with her, she will naturally accept me. The Collins family is so big. Is there no place for me? She's not the type to be petty." Martha: "Serena, who misled you? Do you really know her? How do you know what kind of person she is?" Martha was even more anxious. "Even the deepest feelings can be shattered in the face of interests! You're young, unaware of the complexity of human nature and the darkness of society. You and her have no blood relationship and are not very compatible. You two could never live in peace." Serena: "Martha, she never caused trouble foron purpose. We were always the ones who started the fights. She only warned us lightly and never did anything excessive to us. Why can't we live in peace and get along?" Martha: "That's because her relationship with the rest of the family isn't close. She needs tto adjust, so she won't do anything rash now. Wait until she's close with the family, you'll see how she treats you." "Alright, Martha, | know you mean well, but | have my own thoughts.” Serena said this, then remembered Chasel's disappointed look, lowered her head, and said, "I really don't want to see Chasel's disappointed face again."
