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.

And they had cto visit their mother, not expecting to see Arabella here.
But Serena just smiled, "Mom, | didn't misunderstand anything. There's no need to explain. | was just bored, because Martin had swork to do and needed to make a trip to Lidaria, so | cwith him." “You mean, Martin is outside? Now?" Kenneth was about to get up to invite him in.
"IL asked him to dropat 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 swork 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.

You haven't finished the soup.” Louisa blurted out.
“And your uncle has prepared sshows.” 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 sgifts 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 | 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.
