Given that the patriarch of the Ravenshire family was personally explaining the situation, Serena didn't dare act entitled. She quickly responded with a gracious smile, “With you looking after her, of course I'm not worried.”
Turning her gaze to Vivienne, Serena flipped a switch, her expression melting into deep, maternal guilt. “It's my fault. I haven't been taking proper care of you these past few years. You aren't still mad at me, are you, Vivienne?”
Vivienne didn't say a word, just sat there quietly watching the performance.
Seeing the conversation was about to hit a dead end, Serena scrambled to pivot. “But... don't worry. Things will be different from now on. Once I move back to the city, I'm going to take proper care of both of you.”
“That's right!” Isabella chimed in flawlessly. “From now on, our family can be together forever.”
Family?
The sheer audacity of the word made Vivienne physically nauseous. She turned to Caspian. “Grandpa?”
Caspian patted the back of her hand gently. “Your mother came to discuss something with you today. Just hear her out.”
Serena's eyes briefly flicked to Caspian before snapping back to Vivienne. “Vivienne, this might seem a little sudden, but I really hope you can accept it.”
Here it comes! The insider's ambush.
Vivienne's lips curved into a tight smile. Perhaps because she had already braced herself, she felt surprisingly relaxed dealing with Serena this time.
Serena carefully watched Vivienne's face. “Vivienne, I'm getting married.”
Vivienne froze. As mentally prepared as she thought she was, the sheer absurdity of the news still hit her like a truck.
Serena was getting married?!
What kind of plot twist was this? This had never happened in her previous life.
Was the timeline aggressively trying to auto-correct itself again?
