Chapter 148

The side gallery held some pieces too, though not as abundant as the main hall.

Samuel followed Serena into the side gallery. Seeing there were only a few

people around, he whispered, "Serena, if you want to leave, we can just go. Why stay just to spite Aaron?"

Serena chuckled softly, "I'm not staying to spite Aaron. I've realized something."

"Realized?"

"Yes, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I avoid Aaron? Besides, there are a lot of antiques here tonight that I haven't seen before. And I heard there's an auction. What if there's something I like? Missing out on a piece because of a man would be such a waste."

Seeing Serena's relaxed expression, Samuel smiled, "Alright, as long as you're happy."

Serena smiled back and was soon captivated by the antiques displayed in the side gallery.

Samuel watched her, a slight smile curling his lips.
