Chapter 1119


    But Serena chuckled, “It''s okay. I''m eighteen now. This toast is for my mom and dad, my uncle


    Sampson, my brothers, and Arabe, my sister, and to myself. Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas to


    us all."


    She drained her ss 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 Arabe hade here to treat a


    patient at a friend''s request, unexpectedly running into her grandmother and uncle.


    And they hade to visit their mother, not expecting to see Arabe here.


    But Serena just smiled, "Mom, I didn''t misunderstand anything. There''s no need to exin. 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?" Keh 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." Keh felt somewhat remiss in his hospitality.


    But Serena justughed, 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.” Keh nodded repeatedly, but felt a little ufortable. It


    seemed like his daughter was ming them for having a family reunion and forgetting about her.


    “Let''s not talk about it now. Serena has been on the ne 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. Arabe stood up, "I''ll go to my room."


    "Wait, Be, have you had enough? You haven''t finished the soup.” Louisa blurted out.

    “And your uncle has prepared some shows.” Keh kept on, but felt that it was inappropriate to say


    that at the moment, so he stopped.


    “I''m full.” Arabe 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 Arabe was dering war on her. She smiled and said, “Be, 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 Be think that way?"


    “I''m just going back to my room to get gifts. Don''t overthink it.” Arabe left the dining area, leaving a


    cold silhouette for everyone.


    Serena felt even more indignant. Why, after everything, didn''t Arabe feel at least a bit guilty?
