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.”

Garth explained, “Ever since you left for Broson City and cut off contact with us, I’ve been worried sick about you every single day. With the current instability across nations, Forreb seems like the best choice.

“Don’t worry. Your mother has already promised to take you there first. Once things settle down, she’ll return to bring me and the rest of the family over. That way, we can reunite in Forreb, and you won’t have to worry about anything.”

“I promise, once we’re back in Forreb, I won’t interfere with any of your choices. You don’t even have to follow my arrangements until the day you truly forgive me. And-”
