Chapter 574 The Purpose

To Cassian, Tuesday's soft-spoken concern was nothing more than a facade- fake and overdone

He fixed her with an indifferent gaze, his expression as unmoving as stone. "I'm not going to Forreb with you."

If I ever go back, it'll be with Raven, not with some woman whose past is a complete mystery, he wondered.

Tuesday froze, momentarily stunned by Cassian's unhesitating rejection. She hadn't expected him to refuse so decisively. Instinctively, her gaze shifted to Garth, hoping he could convince Cassian to reconsider.

Garth remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Cassian, maybe it's time you spent more time with your mother."

After all, Tuesday was Cassian's biological mother, and as his father, Garth felt he had no right to deny them the chance to reconnect.

As much as it pained Garth to see Cassian leave for such a distant place, he couldn't deny that going to Forreb would offer Cassian a brighter future and greater safety.
