Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Chapter 653 Alice took Serenity around the residence before excusing herself to take a nap.

“Go and have your break, Alice.

I’ll sit here and enjoy the view.

” Serenity did not want to go back into the house.

Compared to the lavishly furnished home, she preferred the natural scenery in the yard.

She saw a few garden patches along the fence and guessed that her aunt must have done the gardening herself.

Mrs. Stone was the lady of a wealthy and powerful family, but it did not change the fact that she grew up in an orphanage.

It made sense that she would be hands–on with gardening after going through poverty and retiring from a desk job.

“Are you cold? I’ll send someone to fetch you a jacket if you are.

” Serenity and Liberty did not bring extra clothes as they were here for a meal.

They thought they would go home after a meal and a good chat.

It turned out Mrs. Stone wanted them to stay for a few days.

Serenity had to return later in the evening to bring a change of clothes.

“Thank you, Alice, but I don’t feel chilly.

” Alice smiled.

“Well, have fun.
