Louisa paused and added, "Serena, I understand that Rose's return to our family might make you feel a bit put off, but Rose is our flesh and blood. She needed to be here. I hope that you two can get along, because you both mean so much to me."
Serena was puzzled by her mother's sudden statement.
"Rose had a tough time with the Harris family in the past, and now that Clark is willing to take her on a trip abroad, don't let it bother you. Your brothers took you out a lot when you were younger."
So that was it!
Serena sighed with relief and laughed, "Mom, why would I be upset? I'm not petty. Rose is so amazing. Not only do the other brothers like her, but I do too. Don't worry, we'll get along better than real sisters. No matter how long she spends with the brothers, I won't let it bother me. Seeing our family so harmonious makes me happy. Why would I be upset?"
To dispel Louisa's concerns, Serena added, "If sis doesn't like me, I can get married and move out sooner."
