Chapter 562

Pulling the plug right before school starts, that’s quite a curveball.

“Maybe we can just let Bella skip it, or we could get her a sick leave,” Kenneth proposed. “we could get

our family doctor to write her a sick note.”

“Right.”

That should work, right?

“Dad, Mom, I’m swamped with work most of the time, so taking part in these extracurricular activities

could be a pretty cool thing.”

She’s been wanting to get in on these extracurriculars for a while.

But Kenneth and Louisa just can’t bear to see their baby girl suffer; it really broke their hearts.

“I’m against the idea of buying land to build a mall; you guys better toss that plan.”

“Bella.”

Louisa wanted to say more, but then David came back, carrying a big and a small bag.

“Bella, these are the skincare products I find most useful. You take them; you’ll find them handy.”

Arabella watched as he emptied the bags; there were over a dozen sunscreens.

Who knew David was such a skincare guru?

“Also this, I heard girls need shower caps; oh, and this is a towel for drying hair, and this.” David

brought out a bunch of stuff, all for girls, like he was showing off his treasures.

Louisa couldn’t believe her son had thought things through more carefully than she had; she was

incredibly touched!

David stuffed everything into Arabella’s suitcase, gave her head a pat, and said affectionately, “I will

visit, you whenever I’m free!”

Hearing this, Arabella immediately retorted, “No need You face is too conspicuous.”

“I can wear a mask and a hat; I promise no one will recognize me!” David finished, gave her head

another pat, and then made to leave.

Louisa was confused. “Where are you off to now? Your sister’s starting school tomorrow; can’t you

spend more time with her?”

“I ordered some stuff for her; it’s about to arrive; I’m going to get it.”

Arabella didn’t expect that just going to school would create such a hustle and bustle.

“Mom, I don’t need to bring so much stuff.”

“I’ll have someone deliver all this stuff to your dorm; you don’t have to carry anything.”

Kenneth chimed in, “Take them, just in case! These fruits are all your favorites; I’ve even brought extra

so you can share with roommates, and these snacks are all your favorites.“.

“This box is full of school supplies; these two are bedding; and this,” Louisa was getting choked up

towards the end. “Bella, come home on the weekends to see us.‘

“I know; I will definitely come back often.” Arabella could see her reluctance and gave her a hug. “I’ll

come back when I have free time on weekends.”

“Good, that’s great.”

Watching secretly from upstairs, Serena was boiling with anger.

Her luggage was always packed by Martha; her parents never helped her pack for school.

Even though they verbally asked her if she needed help packing, when she said no, they really just left

her alone.

It was so infuriating!

“Serena, don’t get mad; once you get to college, you’ll have plenty of chances to get back at her,

right?” Martha stood behind Serena, her eyes gleaming with a scheming light.

They couldn’t do anything to Arabella at home, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t elsewhere.

Serena bit her lip hard, “Arabella, enjoy your high and mighty act while it lasts!”

Her Summerfield College wasn’t far from Arabella’s Westerly College.
