Chapter 0605

Serenity was frustrated. She had hoped things would go differently, but realistically, she knew her mother wouldn’t take her decision well. If anything, Serenity doubted that even explaining her true reasons for leaving would get Valerie’s approval. She packed a small suitcase with a few changes of clothes, determined to leave before her mother returned home. However, her plan was thwarted when she ran into her parents walking into the foyer together.

Marcus was carrying bags with the café logo from earlier, clearly containing her mother’s favorite desserts. The sight confused Serenity. They were supposed to be divorced and just a short while ago, they’d been arguing.

“Serenity, what’s with the suitcase?” Marcus asked, his tone serious as his gaze fixed on her.

“Dad, like I said, I’m moving out,” Serenity replied, matching his gaze with equal intensity.

It was the same look Maximus gave. “Serenity,” Valerie said gently, stepping forward. “Your father and I talked, and he explained why you want to leave. I know I can’t stop you, but I’d like to talk with you first.”

“Mom, I don’t want to argue or upset you…”
