    Chapter 788


    "Oh, by the way, the outfit that your parents are wearing today was a gift from Arabe, and yours,’


    Martha added once again, "you might want to take a look at the seasonal wardrobe."


    The seasonal wardrobe, as the name implies, was where the unwanted and unused clothes were


    temporarily stored. After a while, some of the better pieces would be picked out for donation, a kind of


    charitable act.


    The wardrobe was packed to the brim, taking up a massive space.


    It was teeming with clothes, too many to count.


    Serena could hardly contain her surprise. When she went to take a look, she found her carefully


    selected pieces, some of which she had even paid a pretty penny for a designer to tailor specifically for


    her parents, all shoved to the back.


    They were not worn, not even once!


    She felt a pang of disappointment.


    Tonight, Romeo''s parents wereing over. Her beloved parents were wearing the designs of Arabe


    and not the ones she gave them. Did this mean they thought her gifts were not up to the mark?


    “Serena, have you noticed that your fate is quite simr to these clothes? Initially, you thought you


    could catch your parents"


    attention, but it turned out that they didn''t even give those clothes a second look."

    Serena''s eyes dimmed.


    Meanwhile, a glint ofcence shed in Martha''s eyes.


    Yesterday, she had told Keh and Louisa that she would take Serena''s clothes to be ironed. With


    their consent, she secretly moved these brand-new pieces to the seasonal wardrobe, intending to let


    Serena see and misunderstand.


    The clothes Serena gave this time were mainly ck and white. To avoid being found out, she took a


    few ck and white pieces that Serena had given to Keh and Louisa half a year ago, tried to make


    them look worn and old, and asked if they wanted to keep them.


    Naturally, they wouldn''t wear such clothes and allowed her to move them to the seasonal wardrobe,


    intending to donate them.


    Later, Serena hesitated before going downstairs. Louisa was arranging flowers, and Serena casually


    struck up a conversation, pretending nothing was amiss. After a while, she finally asked, "Mom, I was


    just moving some old clothes to the seasonal wardrobe, and I noticed those ck and white pieces I


    gave you.


    Don''t you like them?"


    "Oh." Louisa suddenly remembered what Martha had said and gave her a smiling nce, "The design


    is nice, but we can''t wear them anymore, dear. You''re very thoughtful, but don''t spend so much on


    clothes for us in the future."


    Serena pressed, "Why can''t you wear them?"


    "Well, the color isn''t quite right. They don''t look good on.” Louisa was puzzled by her daughter''s


    questioning.


    The color wasn''t right.


    They didn''t look good on.


    Serena pondered for a moment and then it clicked.


    Of course, ck and white symbolized ill fortune. They couldn''t wear these colors for such an


    asion.


    But, they could save those clothes forter, right? There was no need to move them to the seasonal


    wardrobe.


    She looked again at Louisa''s beautiful dress. That was the color of celebration, wasn''t it?


    Finally, Serena epted the truth. Martha wasn''t lying. Her parents really did this.


    They had thrown her heartfelt gifts into the seasonal wardrobe.


    Earlier in the seasonal wardrobe, she had even seen many of her favorite pieces, discarded without her


    knowledge.
