"I suggest we keep an eye on her and see how she behaves next," Myrna said, sipping on her


lemonade. "If she doesn't show any signs of remorse in the coming days, or if she's up to no good


behind our backs, we'll let your parents know and they can kick her out. But if she truly realizes her


mistake, Bella, should we give her another shot?"


"So, you mean we should make more friends than enemies?" Arabella glanced at them, seemingly


grasping their point.


Myrna: "I'm just throwing it out there. After all, your parents have quite a soft spot for her. Your brothers


have also put a lot of effort into dealing with her. If we suddenly kick her out, your parents might find it


hard to adjust. They've been together for eighteen years. But it's just a suggestion, the ball's in your


court."


Chasel: "Bella, you don't have to worry about anyone else's feelings. I've got your back, no matter what


you want to do, even if you want to kick her out of the Collins family."


Myrna: "True that, I'm with you, too. If you want her gone, she's got to go."


Arabella tapped her finger against her cup, falling silent for a moment. "Alright, we'll see how she


behaves next."


Having Serena in the house didn't really bother her. Over the past couple of months, Serena had been


a handful, but she never got anything good out of Arabella.


If it came down to dealing with Serena, Arabella could do it in a snap. She was mainly concerned about


the feelings of her family members.


They seemed to have quite a soft spot for Serena.


"One more thing," Chasel suddenly piped up.


Arabella and Myrna both turned their attention to him.


"I'm sorry for what Serena said earlier," Chasel apologized. "About the travel destinations. Whenever


you have time, wherever you want to go, we're all in. We can make new memories, just us, as a family."


Arabella's gaze softened.


When Serena mentioned their childhood and everything Chasel had done for her, Arabella felt a pang


of envy. She never experienced that kind of familial warmth growing up. Attlee and Olga never showed


her an ounce of love.


Even though Grannie Grace adored her, it was not the same as being pampered by her brothers.


She had never been spoiled by her brothers growing up.


Chasel seemed to understand what she was thinking, but before he could say anything comforting,


Myrna beat him to it. She draped her arm around Arabella's shoulders, patting her consolingly. "Don't


worry. From now on, I'll spoil you rotten. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want, I'll make it


happen."


Arabella cracked a smile and said, "I'm content with what I have now."


She might not have any deep memories from the past, but the genuine love and care from her family


were palpable.


Now she had Myrna as well. That was more than enough.


Chasel: "Bella, remember, you always have more say in this house than Serena. If you need anything,


everyone would choose you over her, no questions asked. Of course, the choice might be painful, but


that's just how it is. We can handle that pain. You're a part of this family, no one has the right to


threaten your place here, not even Serena. You're more deserving of our love and care than she is.


Remember, we're family. Next time you see me, don't be a stranger. If you need anything, I'm here for


you."
