NovelEnglishChapter 24 Aaron took a sip of wine from his glass, savoring the rich taste before speaking, "Why are you so sure it isn't because of Serena?" "Because you should be the happiest now that Serena's gone," Frederick replied. Much like Aaron, he had striking features, but while Aaron's were sharp and imposing, Frederick's were softer and more approachable. His tone was matter-of-fact. "Weren't you always the one who found Serena annoying?" Aaron frowned. Had he ever really found Serena annoying? Seeing the confusion in Aaron's eyes, Frederick continued, "Every twe had a gathering and Serena called, you'd impatiently hang up on her." Aaron remembered, but it wasn't out of impatience.
He simply didn't want Serena to hear the crude jokes and banter at the table.
Frederick, noticing Aaron's troubled expression, patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. Serena will be back in a few days." Hadn't it always been that way before? Serena could never really stay away from Aaron.

The bitter taste slid down his throat.
Frederick nearly bit his tongue in shock.
It took him a moment to find his voice. "You're not joking with me, right?" Aaron turned his head, his expression completely serious.
Frederick still felt like he was in ssort of surreal dream.
The idea of Serena, who had always been chasing after Aaron, actually going back to Northspire to get married was impossible! Unbelievable! It was as unlikely as him becoming the wealthiest man in Alderburg, surpassing Aaron! Frederick took several gulps of wine, trying to ground himself back in reality. "So, you two broke up?" he asked.

Then, because Cynthia went abroad for treatment, Serena took the opportunity to becyour girlfriend. Now that your real girlfriend is back, Serena is stepping aside, which is smart of her." Aaron's head buzzed with confusion.
"I was never in a romantic relationship with Cynthia Lynwood. Who told you that?" "Didn't you yourself tell the media that Cynthia Lynnwood is someone you want to protect?" Aaron pressed his long fingers against his temple. "I said she's someone I want to protect, not that she's my girlfriend."

Frederick, having grown up with Aaron, nudged him with his elbow trying to lighten the mood. "so, what's the deal with you and Cynthia Lynwood?" "There's no deal!"
"Then why are you so good to her? You told the media you want to protect her, you gave her the only Porsche MISSION X, Frederick's heart ached just mentioning it, "and you missed getting your marriage license because you went to the airport to pick her up!"
