But Serena chuckled, “It's okay. I'm eighteen now. This toast is for my mom and dad, my uncle
Sampson, my brothers, and Arabella, my sister, and to myself. Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas to
us all."
She drained her glass in one go, setting it down gracefully as if nothing had happened.
But those eyes of hers, they looked even brighter than usual, as if they had been washed by tears.
“Serena, it's not what you think." Louisa wanted to tell her that Arabella had come here to treat a
patient at a friend's request, unexpectedly running into her grandmother and uncle.
And they had come to visit their mother, not expecting to see Arabella here.
But Serena just smiled, "Mom, I didn't misunderstand anything. There's no need to explain. I was just
bored, because Martin had some work to do and needed to make a trip to Lidaria, so I came with him."
“You mean, Martin is outside? Now?" Kenneth was about to get up to invite him in.
"lL asked him to drop me at the door and told him to leave"
“How can you not invite him in for dinner when he's already at the doorstep? He could sit for a while
before leaving." Kenneth felt somewhat remiss in his hospitality.
But Serena just laughed, looking gracefully charming, "I didn’t even know that you were having dinner
here, let alone Martin. It's okay, he had some work to do anyway. Besides, we already celebrated
Christmas Eve and Christmas at home."
“It's good that you celebrated together.” Kenneth nodded repeatedly, but felt a little uncomfortable. It
seemed like his daughter was blaming them for having a family reunion and forgetting about her.
“Let's not talk about it now. Serena has been on the plane for twelve hours. She must be starving.
Come, have some food." Sampson put some into Serena's bowl.
Serena looked at the leftover food on the table, her smile deepening, “Thank you, uncle Sampson."
“These are practically untouched.’ Sampson put down his utensils and ordered again, "Prepare some
more dishes: “No need, uncle Sampson. These are enough for me."
“It's okay. They'll get it done pretty soon.’ Sampson said, not forgetting to urge the staff, "Try to be
quick."
"It's Christmas Eve. Let the staff have some fun. I've been traveling all day. I don't think I'm able to eat
much."
Everyone could tell she was unhappy. Arabella stood up, "I'll go to my room."
"Wait, Bella, have you had enough? You haven't finished the soup.” Louisa blurted out.
“And your uncle has prepared some shows.” Kenneth kept on, but felt that it was inappropriate to say
that at the moment, so he stopped.
“I'm full.” Arabella had wanted to leave before Serena arrived. She wanted to prepare some gifts for the
elders and her brothers before they left.
She hadn't prepared anything before. Now she wanted to go back to her room, not knowing whether
she would make it.
Serena thought Arabella was declaring war on her. She smiled and said, “Bella, you're not upset
because I'm here, are you? If that's the case, then I won't eat from here. I'll leave now."
"Serena, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chasel spoke up, "Why would Bella think that way?"
“I'm just going back to my room to get gifts. Don't overthink it.” Arabella left the dining area, leaving a
cold silhouette for everyone.
Serena felt even more indignant. Why, after everything, didn't Arabella feel at least a bit guilty?
