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 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.
