My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0402 +25 BONUS After 15 minutes in the car, Peter parked his truck, helped Ethan out of his seat, and rang the doorbell, intending to meet the person who would be receiving his son. At that precise moment, a soft voice answered. “Hello, who is it? Who are you looking for?” “I’m Mr. Pietrovich. My son Ethan is friends with the child who lives here…” “His name is John…” the boy interrupted. “Your son’s name is John. My son, Ethan, wanted to come see how he’s doing, and he didn’t stop insisting until I brought him…” “Oh, yes! My son has been talking a lot about your son… Let me get him, one moment…” Valerie couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but something about his silhouette caught her attention. The child’s father had wavy hair, and she could just make out some dark glasses. He seemed quite tall, which made her think of her husband. Thanks to Peter’s lack of memories, he couldn’t recognize the woman’s voice who had ended up speaking with him, but something was for sure–he felt a sharp pang in his chest. Why? He had no idea. Ethan couldn’t stop jumping with joy at the thought of finally seeing his friend. He had been very worried when the teacher told him he’d been a bit sick, and his concern grew even more, to the point where he offered his precious toys to Grandpa Theodore, who, of the three men in the house, was the grumpiest. Peter was standing in front of the door, holding his grandson’s hand, as the door began to open. At that exact moment, Peter’s phone rang. He saw the contact and, with no choice, had to answer. He shook his grandson’s curls slightly and said, “Ethan, I have to go, but we’ve already talked about how we’ll handle it later.” “Yes, Grandpa, look, they’ve opened the door, but John’s mom isn’t coming out.‘ On the other side of the door, Valerie was stopped by Camille, who handed her the phone. On the other end of the line was Marcus–an urgent matter, and she had to take the call. Camille peeked out and saw little Ethan, also noticing the man who had brought him. Her cheeks flushed slightly when she saw the man greet her. This wasn’t the first time they’d seen each other. She was usually the one picking up John, and when they left, she sometimes accompanied Ethan to his car. His grandfather usually picked him up. There was no doubt he was a sight for sore eyes. She regretted not being 20 years younger, or at least the same age as Valerie. Coming out of her daydream, she said: “Hello, my dear! How have you been? I haven’t seen you… “Hello, Mrs. Camille…” Valerie noticed the familiarity and ease with which the little boy spoke Hesperian. While Marcus was talking on the phone, she peeked out the door but only saw the back of the car the man was driving. Seeing the model, old memories flooded her mind. That model was one of Peter’s favorites. She returned to the house behind the little boy and Camille listening attentively as the child spoke fluent Spanish. “Is your name Ethan?” “Yes, ma’am!” “I’m John’s mom. You can call me Valerie.” “Yes, ma’am! Where is John?” The boy asked, looking around the house. 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0402 “He’s in his room. Do you want to go see him?” “Yes! Oh, right! I brought cookies! I made them myself. Well, Fiona helped me, but my grandpa says I can’t visit someone’s house without a gift. I saved my Sundays and only had enough for the cookies.” Valerie took the box, and the top was clear. She could see the cookie attempts the boy had kindly brought. She smiled and said: “Thank you so much for the gesture! You shouldn’t have bothered! They look delicious.” “They are… I ate five that were left over… I’m good at making cookies.” “Okay, okay! Let’s go see John. He twisted his ankle while playing with his dad and now has his foot in a cast. I think he’ll miss a few days of school.” Today’s Bonus Offer X
