Serena came back when it was getting dark.

She looked a little distraught, with swollen eyes, obviously from crying.

I ignored her and sat on the sofa petting the cat. But she came over, sat next to me, stared at me blankly, and said nothing.

I noticed that her hands were swollen and her nails were broken. Serena followed my gaze and fell on her hands. She said with disgust, "Ethan tried to touch me, and I beat him. His nails were broken!"

She said this on purpose, as if she wanted to prove something to me. I said calmly, "You have a special physique. You will be fine after you get to know him for a while, just like you and I." After saying this, S erena turned pale. She asked with fear in her eyes, "River, what do you mean by this?"

I looked at her deeply and said, "It's nothing. I'm sleepy. You should also go to bed early."

Then I got up and carried Dexter to the study.

I locked the door and Serena knocked desperately, but I didn't respond.

To be honest, Serena saw Echo today, and I was worried that she would go to Echo to cause trouble again, so I didn't tell her clearly. Otherwise, I would have broken up with her immediately.

Now, I plan to leave first, ignore her for a while, and then bring up the breakup.
