FreeGoodNovelChapter 0710 Chapter 0710 Your kids are with Alden too?" Marcus asked, his voice edged with disbelief.
"Marcus, you're letting jealousy cloud your judgment. All of our children had to leave.

Maximus continued, his voice calmer. "Frederick was focused on getting you out of prison, and Serenity had to make the decision to leave with Alden. It was chaos." "Well, now they can cback," Marcus said. "There's no need for them to be away anymore. I want to see my kids." "They can cback," Maximus admitted, "but not instantly.
