Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413

After a while, a servant came over and invited, "Clark, Serena, dinner’s ready."

"Let’s go, it’s time to eat."

Clark and Serena walked back side by side, laughing and chatting along the way.

From a distance, Martha watched them with a glint of obscure darkness in her eyes.

For some reason, each time she saw Serena getting along well with the Collins family, a thorn seemed to prick her heart.

At the dining table

Upon their arrival, Louisa immediately scolded, "Where have you been, Clark? Rose’s been waiting for you for ages."

Clark glanced at the girl seated at the table. The girl’s appearance, aura, and physique all reminded him of a girl named "Alex" whom he had met earlier at the security center.

"Let me introduce you. This is your sister, Rosemary Collins, a student at Westerly College."

Looking at the girl’s stunning face and the barely noticeable smile on her lips, Clark felt as if he had turned to stone.

"Rose, this is your brother, Clark. He often deals with corpses as a forensic investigator."

Forensic investigator?

Wasn’t he supposed to be Astronisia’s top hacker, Clark?

"Nice to meet you, Clark." Rosemary’s voice was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Clark realized that not only did this girl look exactly like Alex, but her voice was also identical. She was definitely the girl he had met at the security center!

"Aren’t you going to greet your sister back?" Upon noticing Clark’s lack of response, Louisa playfully smacked him, whispering, "Did you grow ears or not?"

"Are you Rose?" Clark tried to suppress his shock, quietly asking, "Have we met before?"

"Of course you have. Remember the girl who was all over the news for topping the college entrance exams in June and July? That’s your sister. She scored full marks."

Clark was once again taken aback. He never expected his sister to be such a prodigy, returning home with an array of skills.

Kenneth smiled, "Let’s have Clark sit next to Rose. He can serve her some dishes."

Upon hearing this, Martha moved Serena’s chair to Clark’s other side. "Serena, you sit next to Clark as well. It’s only fair after all the times you’ve missed him."

"Huh?"

"Serena missed Clark?" Louisa was somewhat curious.

"Yes, she talks about him all the time. So much so that I’ve got calluses on my ears from hearing it."

Martha and the others laughed.

Clark looked at the girl’s naturally beautiful face and unconsciously asked, "The firewall?"

He spoke very softly.

Rosemary smiled and casually asked, "Haven’t found a way to break it yet?"

It was her!

Clark took a deep breath. He was surprised to find out that his sister was the hacker Alex, whose hacking skills surpassed his own.

His pride as a big brother lay shattered on the ground.

Louisa, seeing the siblings whispering to each other, assumed they were having a pleasant chat. While she was pleased, she didn’t forget to remind Clark, "Don’t get too caught up in your conversation. Serve Rose some dishes! Rose loves seafood."

"I’ll peel a shrimp for you." Clark picked up a shrimp, peeled it, and placed it in his sister’s bowl.

"The shrimp isn’t completely peeled. Look, there’s still some shell left." Louisa noticed this and told Rosemary, "Don’t blame your brother, Rose. He hasn’t peeled a shrimp for anyone in years. He’s a bit clumsy."

"Sorry, Rose. I’ll peel another one for you." Clark picked up another shrimp.

"No need, Clark. I can do it myself."

"How could I let you do that? As long as I’m here, you won’t have to lift a finger to crack any shellfish." Clark cracked a few more for her, but then fell silent.

He wanted to ask his sister:

- "How did you become such an expert hacker?"

- "Where did you learn this?"

- "How can you manage your studies while being so skilled at hacking?"

But with so many people around, he only asked, "Are you getting used to being back home?"

"Yep."

"Is there anything you need to improve with regards to food, clothing, shelter, or transportation?"

"Everything is good."

Clark dropped the peeled shrimp into her bowl. "Nobody bullies you at home, do they?"

At this, Martha quickly glanced at Rosemary, afraid she might say something out of line.

Rosemary was a bit surprised. Why was Clark asking such a question? Was it just a casual inquiry, or had he noticed something?

"If anyone bullies you, remember to tell me."

"Okay."

Clark put the peeled shrimp into her bowl. He found her very obedient. Whether it was the way she talked or ate, she was just too adorable.

At that moment, Serena placed a peeled shrimp into Clark’s bowl.

"Clark, you should eat too. The food will get cold."

Clark only then remembered that he had another sister.

He had been so focused on peeling shrimp for Rosemary that he had neglected Serena.

"You can peel shrimp now." Clark saw the poorly peeled shrimp in his bowl. His eyes softened as he placed the shrimp back into Serena’s bowl and didn’t eat it. "You eat it. You’re too thin."

"Do you think I peeled it ugly, Clark?"

"Not at all. I just can’t bear to eat it."

"But this is for you, Clark. You have to eat it." Serena placed the shrimp back into Clark’s bowl.

Martha glanced at Debby, who immediately spoke up. "Serena is always thinking about Clark, even peeling shrimp for him. What a wonderful sister. She could be considered a sweetheart."

(In contrast, Rosemary had never peeled shrimp for any of her brothers!)

After a while, Serena served soup to their parents and Clark, earning more praise from Debby.

"Serena is becoming more and more thoughtful. She not only thinks about her parents, but also about her brother."

(The implication was: She was not like some people, who only think about eating.)

"Clark, these are your favorites, eat more." Serena served more food to Clark.

"Having a sister like Serena, Clark is really lucky."

"Debby, you talk too much." Clark lifted his eyes and looked at Debby, his voice a bit cold. "Rose also served me a lot of food. Why haven’t I heard you praise her?"

"Right, Miss Rose also did well."

"Serving food is not a competition. If you serve me, should I have to serve you in return, and it’s not okay if I serve less? Then what are we all eating for? We might as well just serve each other."

Seeing her son getting angry, Louisa was a bit startled. They were all eating peacefully. Why did he start criticizing the help?

"I’m sorry, Clark. It’s my fault. I just saw Serena doing well."

"If you want to praise, then praise all the people. If you pick one to praise, what would the other think?"

At this, Louisa finally understood why her son was angry. It made sense. Debby kept saying Serena was doing well, that Serena was a good sister, but what about Rose? She must have felt terrible.

"Debby, if you don’t know how to talk, then keep silent. You can leave, we don’t need your service here." Louisa was also a bit upset.
