My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

After the disastrous meeting at Palmer Group, Serenity was taken home by her father. Since then, she hadn’t heard from either of her parents and was still reeling from the shocking revelations. Serenity, who had always prided herself on being level–headed, had acted like a crying little girl today. She hadn’t supported her mother, and the thought made her feel miserable. They had been through so much together–Camille had once told her about the hardships they endured before Marcus came into their lives. I “How could I be so cruel to my mother?” Serenity kept thinking, guilt consuming her more with every passing moment. “Honey, you need to eat something,” Camille said, stepping into the room. “I already tucked John in, and Emma’s in her room too. Now we can talk. What happened today? Your father seemed upset, and your mom only asked me to take care of you all. I’ve been on edge ever since. If I’d known coming here was such a bad idea, I would’ve opposed it completely. It hasn’t even been a month, and look what’s happened‘ Camille wrapped Serenity in a comforting hug, but Serenity just shook her head. ” “Camille, I acted like a spoiled brat today. I should’ve supported my mom. If I had, my parents would still be here. I’m so worried about her. I don’t know where she is. Dad said he’d look for her, but he hasn’t returned my calls or told me if he’s found her.” “My dear, calm down. It’s normal to react impulsively to sinuations out of our control. But I still don’t know what happened to get you all to this point. Can you tell me?” Camille asked gently, looking her in the eyes. “Camille, I found out today that my father–Peter, the man always dreamed about–isn’t my father. My father is Maximus Palmer. The man I thought was my uncle.” “What? That can’t be, my dear! Your mother always said your father’s name was Peter. She said he left Valentia suddenly, which is why she didn’t have pictures of him. But she always insisted he was your father.” “No, Camille. He’s not.” “But… did Peter know?” “I don’t think so. From what I remember of him, he always treated me warmly, like family–but not like a daughter. Do you know what this means?” “No, dear, I don’t understand what you’re asking.” “My father was never dead. My mother, for reasons I can’t explain, hid that from me. And I was angry with her for it. 1 acted terribly. I didn’t want to listen to her. If I’d just gone back with her, my parents would still be here right now. Instead, look at the mess I caused.” “Serenity, no, my dear. It’s true the news must’ve been shocking, but don’t start doubting yourself. I know what you’re asking: Marcus has been your father since you were almost three years old. He’s cared for you, protected you, and made you the woman you are today. Just because this Maximus has appeared doesn’t mean he replaces your dad. Ask yourself first–why would your mother have hidden the truth?” “That’s exactly why I feel so guilty. My first reaction was to lash out. I didn’t want to hear her side of things. If only I’d listened to her…” “Serenity, honey, your mom and dad need to talk. Those at issues between them. Believe me, I’ve seen how much Marcus loves your mom. He’s a reasonable man. They just need time. They’re not kids anymore.” Chapter 0336 #25 BONUS Serenity, who often felt like the adult between her parents, how felt like an abandoned child. The truth she’d learned made her deeply uncomfortable, but curiosity gnawed at her. If her father wasn’t dead, why wasn’t Maximus with her mother? What had happened between them? She knew only the part where he had mistreated her mother. But to have a child together, they must’ve had good period, right? What had gone wrong? Was Alexia Levett really as important as her mother believed? Despite her love for Marcus, these questions wouldn’t leave her alone. Only one person could answer them–her newly discovered father. After a small dinner and a long talk with Camille, her curiosity only grew. By dawn, she couldn’t resist anymore and called Maximus, who picked up without hesitation. “Hello, Father…” “Serenity…” “We need to talk, and I won’t take no for an answer.” “I understand. But first, tell me–how’s your mother?” “She and Dad haven’t come home yet. I assume they’re trying to sort everything out.” “Have you spoken to her?” “No. She hasn’t answered my calls since we left your company. Dad said he’d look for her, but that’s it.” “Where can I meet you?” “At the café where we went with Laura…” “Alright. When?” “In an hour.” “Fine, I’ll see you there.” “There’s a lot we need to discuss…” Serenity left the house quickly and headed to her university. As she arrived in the parking lot, a familiar silhouette. was waiting for her. “Hello, dear niece,” Lucius said, flashing a cold smile. Today’s Bonus Offer
