After finishing breakfast, the housemaid brought over a stack of beautiful window decals. "These are all static clings. Just wipe the
window with a damp cloth, and they'll stick right on."
"I'll take some; | want to help Bella put them up."
too."
"I'm with Bella!"
"Bella, | will clean the windows for you. You can put them anywhere you like," said Arabella’s grandpa.
"Don't worry aboutbeing too old. | can stand on a chair. Just tellwhere you like them, and I'll stick them on for you!" said
her grandma.
There was nothing left for the brothers. The housemaid said awkwardly, "We have more decals with fireworks and Happy New Year
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcoming soon."
"Con, Bella, let's go put up the decals." The elders were already escorting Arabella away with laughter and chatter.
"Hans, this isn't working!" Clark blurted out anxiously, "We finally made tto chand spend it with Bella, and from the
moment we got up, we've barely exchanged a few words with her."
Before he could finish, the elders had shooed them aside.
Their presence was barely acknowledged!
"Now | have to sacrifice myself." David decided, taking a few steps forward and then letting out a loud, exaggerated groan as he
pretended to trip.
But the elders ahead were deep in their merry conversation and didn't even notice him.
Clark couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to the pitiful David, "They didn't even notice you."
David never imagined there'd be a day when even his hundreds of millions of fans couldn't save him.
"Spending this year putting up window decals with our darling Bella is sure to bring a smooth sailing next year."
"In the past, every New Year, the housemaids would put the decals up early in the morning, and we'd wake up to see them. But
this year is different. Being able to do this with Bella really makes it feel like home."
"Exactly, | feel like these activities are only meaningful when the whole family does them together."
The brothers watched the elders and Arabella laughing and talking as they adorned the large floor-to-ceiling windows with various
decals, feeling envious.
David cheekily squeezed through. "Grandpa, aren't you tired? Lethelp. Leave this to us young folks. Con down; it's
dangerous standing on that chair!"
"I'm still strong and fit. I'm not tired from sticking one decal, let alone a hundred! Step aside, and don't block Bella. Bella, is this the
spot you mentioned?"

David quickly intervened, "That's not a good spot; it's too low. Letdo it! The decals should be placed higher to look better."
"Bella decides what's best. What do you know?"
Arabella, feeling a bit sorry for David, handed him a decal. David was just about to celebrate when he heard their grandma say,
"David, you go stick it over there. Bella, wherever you want to put it, | can help you too."
Eventually, David took a single decal back to his brothers, gazing longingly at his sister in the crowd. There was a distance
between them, not of life and death, but the fact that despite Bella standing right before them, they couldn't get close.
At that moment, a housemaid approached Louisa to report, "Ma'am, the photography team has arrived."
"Perfect timing to capture this moment. Invite them in," Louisa instructed, then turned to Arabella. "Bella, there will be a
photography team taking pictures and recording all day. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."
"Ms. Bella, we'll try to keep our distance and stay as unobtrusive as possible." the photographer assured.
"Bella's no stranger to cameras. She's received so much acclaim on stage, singing and playing piano. These cameras are nothing
out of the ordinary for her."
Grandma's words reminded Louisa, "Right, of course."
