NovelEndChapter 53 However, to Serena's surprise, Aaron didn't react with anger. Instead, he simply nodded with a nonchalant "hmm." Was this his way of agreeing that she didn't have to attend the celebration dinner? Serena found it hard to believe and searched Aaron's face for any clues.
But Aaron's expression was unreadable, giving nothing away.
She averted her gaze, abandoning her curiosity.
As long as Aaron wasn't forcing her to go to scelebration dinner, she didn't care why he had suddenly changed his mind.
Heading upstairs, Serena returned to her room.

Skipping breakfast had left her genuinely hungry.
However, upon seeing Aaron seated at the dining table, Serena's brow furrowed.
Didn't Aaron have work today? Why was he hall day? She was too hungry to care about Aaron, grabbing a fork to start eating.
Just as she took a bite, Aaron spoke up, "Even though we can't leave Alderburg for a while, if there's anywhere you'd like to visit, I can have Julia arrange it." Serena paused mid-bite.
Was Aaron suggesting they go on a trip? But she quickly dismissed the notion.

So...
Aaron's offer was likely just an attempt to get her out of the wayn Lout of the Cynthia Lynwood must be uncomfortable with her presence in Alderburg. Serena wasn't naive.
Though she did want to leave Alderburg, Samuel had made it clear she couldn't leave for the tbeing. "No need, Mr. Vance. Thank you." Her curt refusal made Aaron frown, displeasure evident. "Se=" "Aaron, just be quiet. Don't you know you shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping?" Aaron fell silent, clearly taken aback.
The rest of the meal continued without conversation, and Serena's mood noticeably improved. Watching the slight curve of her lips, Aaron's brow furrowed.
There was a twhen Serena loved talking to him.
After finishing her meal, Serena headed back upstairs, giving Aaron no chance to speak.
Her retreating figure might as well have had "no communication" written across it.
