Chapter 0120

After a couple of hours, Peter woke up feeling rested. The trip had exhausted him, and being with Mary always made him feel pleasantly drowsy. As soon as they’d arrived at Catherine’s house, all he’d wanted was to cuddle up with his beloved and take a nap.

Mary was still asleep, but as Peter shifted, she began to stir. As always, she stretched like a cat, and he took the opportunity to tickle her. Her laughter filled the room, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Catherine, who had been eagerly waiting for the pair to emerge, pretended to pass by the hallway and knocked on the door. Mary clapped her hands over her mouth in surprise, having momentarily forgotten they were at Catherine’s house.

“Peter, my dear!” Grandma called.

“Yes, Grandma? What is it?” Peter replied, stifling a laugh.

“Can I come in?”

“Grandma, I’m not… presentable!”

“Peter Palmer, what are you hiding?” Catherine said, pushing the door open unceremoniously.

Mary immediately sat up, positioning herself behind Peter on the bed.

“Grandma! Haven’t you ever heard of knocking?”

“Peter Palmer and Mary Preston! Do you really think I don’t notice what’s going on? Are you going to explain what’s happening here?”

Peter knew this moment was inevitable. Clearing his throat, he decided it was time to come clean. “Well, Grandma, I guess there’s no point hiding it anymore. Mary and I are together,” he said with a serious expression.

“Together? Mary, is this true?” Catherine asked, turning to the woman hiding behind Peter.

“Yes, Grandma, it’s true. We’ve been together since I returned home. I love him, and he loves me, Mary confessed, her voice steady despite her nerves.
