My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0031

“Change of plans, sweetheart! I need to tell you something, but get in the car. We’re heading back to the

mansion.”

“Okay, Grandma, I guess we’ll have lunch at home.”

Mary got into the car, feeling disappointed. She had looked particularly beautiful today and wanted to spend more time looking that way–especially hoping that Maximus would notice her more. ‘I’m not a child, I’m a woman,‘ she thought to herself.

“My dear Mary, there’s been a change of plans. I need to move you.”

Grandma, is it because of what I told you this morning? Don’t worry! It won’t happen again. But I don’t want to leave. Please! 1 feel comfortable here. I haven’t caused any trouble.”

“No, no, my dear. It’s not about that. My plan is to give you more freedom, and you won’t have that here. It’s not that I don’t want something to happen with Maximus, but he and I couldn’t come to an agreement about you staying here. So, it’s best to move you. I trust that distance will make Maximus reconsider.”

“Grandma,” Mary sighed, her voice heavy with sadness.

“Come on, dear! I know what’s best, and I know my grandsons. Neither of them is bad, but they’re both stubborn. You’ll meet Peter Palmer soon. He’s very different from Maximus. I think you’ll have more fun with him. You’ll have more freedom, and where he lives, it won’t be of interest to anyone who might be looking for you.”

“You’re right, Grandma. You know what’s best for me. I promised my grandfather I’d follow your advice.

“Thank you, my dear, for trusting me! Now, let’s get back to the mansion. You’ll need to pack your things as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Grandma,” Mary replied, resigned.

After a few minutes in the car, they arrived at the mansion, where Emma was waiting for them.
