Chapter 827 Bernard sat up suddenly as though he had remembered something.

"What is it now, grandpa?" Clark asked, his tone laced with good-natured exasperation.

"Does anyone have Bella's number?" "As a matter of fact, | don't have it either.” Cornelia chimed in, reaching for her phone to record the number.

From the sidelines, Serena watched as her grandparents fawned over Arabella, their affection for Bella souring her mood. Why did Arabella always manage to steal the spotlight so effortlessly? After Arabella shared her number, Bernard and Cornelia carefully noted it down, repeating it back to her to confirm.

"Bella, are you on Fall Break right now? What time do you usually wake up?" Bernard asked, recalling a landscape painting he had once done in an attempt to mimic Mirabelle’s style. He wondered if Arabella could offer some feedback.

"I usually wake up at six." "Six? Why don't you sleep in a bit?" Cornelia asked with motherly concern. "You're finally on break and you usually have so much school work. Don't tell me Kenneth is preventing you from catching up on some much- needed rest?" "On my honor, Mom, I'd love nothing more than for Bella to get a good night's sleep." Kenneth quickly defended himself.

"I'm just used to waking up early, it's not anyone's fault; Arabella explained.

Cornelia heaped praises on Bella. "It's rare to find youngsters who can maintain such good habits these days." "Alright, time to get back in bed; Clark finally intervened, reaching to switch off the light.

"But Bella, I'll call you tomorrow.” Bernard protested, feeling that their conversation had been cut short.

"Dad, Bella has a lot on her plate, managing her own corporation and juggling other commitments. She doesn't have too much free time. Why don't you focus on getting better first?" Kenneth suggested, worried about his daughter's already packed schedule.

"Don't worry. Call me whenever you want, Arabella reassured them gently.

"In that case, I'll add you on WhatsApp later. Make sure to accept my request!" Bernard added, which prompted Clark to remind him again to get some rest.

After a few more words exchanged between Arabella and the elderly couple, the room finally settled down for the night. Everyone wished each other goodnight and tiptoed out of the room.

"It's obvious Mom and Dad are very fond of Bella,” Kenneth remarked with a pleased grin. After all, how could anyone not appreciate such a remarkable young woman? Arabella, however, was engrossed in her phone, responding to messages and didnt notice their conversation.

Serena, on the other hand, had heard every word and couldn't help but feel a touch of melancholy. If it weren't for Arabella, she would be the apple of her grandparents’ eyes.

"Texting someone?" Clark noticed his sister's preoccupation with her phone. "You can continue. Just follow me." Arabella politely declined Jennifer's invitation for a late-night snack.

Jennifer had noticed Arabella's absence in the past couple of days and wondered if she had become a nuisance.

She messaged Romeo to find out that that girl had been busy visiting her grandparents who had recently awakened from a coma. Jennifer's Spirits instantly soared upon hearing the news.
