Chapter 0119

Catherine’s birthday had arrived. Peter had checked is schedule and ensured they could leave on Friday to awold rushing. He was well aware he couldn’drive too fast anymore. They packed their bags, and Agnes prepared a small bag of desserts and fruit for the journey–Mary couldn’t go without eating. In her condition.

Mary felt more than a little nervous that day. She knew this would be the day Catherine found out about their relationship. And it wasn’t just any relationship they were already living as a couple. The thought of explaining everything to Catherine made her stomach twist in knots.

Peter entered the room and saw Mary standing by the window, lost in thought. He walked up behind her and wrapped her in a warm hug.

“Relax! Everything will be fine. You’ll see–Grandma won’t take our relationship badly. And even if she does, which I doubt, so what? We’ll just head back home.”

her voice.

“You have every right to rebuild your life. I love you, and that should be enough for both of us, right? Peter said, turning her to face him and planting a tender kiss on her lips. “Come on, it’s time to go. I don’t want to drive at night.”

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For loving me–for loving us just as we are.

“Let’s go. As long as you’re with me, nothing bad can happen. I love you, Peter Palmer!”

Those words came straight from her heart. She couldn’t deny how deeply she was beginning to feel for him. Peter’s face lit up; her words made him the happiest man alive. He was winning her heart little by little, and he couldn’t imagine anything going wrong

They loaded up the car, with Agnes handing them the snacks she had prepared. Mary placed them on her lap and opened the basket, her mouth watering at the sight.
