My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0389

The next day, Valerie and Marcus shared the news with their children about taking a week off for a trip to unwind. The past few days had been stressful, and they needed a break. To their surprise, both Serenity and John flat–out refused to miss school. Serenity explained that she had already missed a day at university and had an important exam she couldn’t skip. Meanwhile, John was excited about his classes and the arrival of a new student he didn’t want to miss meeting. Sharing a glance of mutual understanding, the siblings urged their parents to travel on their own.

Marcus considered canceling the trip, but Serenity insisted they go. She reminded him that they needed time together as a couple without the kids. She reassured him about the increased security measures in place and promised there was nothing to worry about. She even suggested Santorini, emphasizing how beautiful it was. Though she regretted not being able to take pictures there herself, her studies took priority.

“Come on, Dad! Go! We’ll be fine. Camille and Emma are here, the house is secure, and you’ve reinforced security outside. You need some quality time together, and if we’re around, you’ll just focus on us,” Serenity said with an air of maturity.

“I think it’s better to wait until the kids are on vacation. We can take a family trip then. I don’t like the idea of leaving them alone again,” Marcus said, his voice thoughtful.

“Marcus, Serenity’s right! You should go. We’ll manage just fine, and this house is like a fortress. Considering what happened, I doubt anyone will dare cause trouble anytime soon,” Camille chimed in.

“I agree with Marcus. We can wait for a family trip. There’s no rush,” Valerie added, hugging John tightly.

“No, Mom! Go and enjoy some time alone. Think of it as your second honeymoon,” Serenity pressed, this time more emphatically.

Marcus turned to Valerie, and after a moment’s hesitation, she gave in. Their children were so loving and clearly had conspired to give them some much–needed alone time. It had been an emotionally charged few weeks, and a break was long overdue.
