My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0584

Alden arrived at the school with Ethan, who was still teary–eyed and visibly upset. Lately, his grandfather had been the one taking him to school, and Ethan had grown used to their routine. Alden, who didn’t follow the same rhythm, had inadvertently thrown the boy off, leading to a tantrum. Alden’s patience wore thin, and he ended up scolding Ethan, forcing him into the car, where the boy cried for most of the drive.

When they arrived, Alden parked the car and helped Ethan out. The boy’s face still bore the marks of his tears, and his irritation hadn’t subsided.

“Ethan, I know it’s hard that your grandfather isn’t here, but you promised to be a good boy. Help me out with that, okay? I’m not Grandpa, but I’m doing my best,” Alden said gently.

“Tell Grandpa Theodore to pick me up this afternoon. I prefer him over someone who just scolds me,” Ethan muttered, grabbing his backpack and walking into the school without looking back.

Alden felt a sharp pang in his chest. It was only the first day without his father, and things were already falling apart. Despite Peter’s reserved nature, his bond with Ethan was undeniable. It made sense–Peter had been there for the boy since birth, even more so than Alma, who lacked the same connection.

After standing outside the car for a moment, Alden climbed into his sleek vehicle and headed toward his uncle Maximus’s house. He wasn’t sure what the meeting was about, but if Maximus had called, it had to be important. After all, Maximus was mostly detached from the company these days, aside from the monthly deposits made to his children’s accounts.

“Laura, sweetheart, how are you feeling?” Matthew asked as he entered her room carrying a tray of breakfast food.

“I’m fine, Matthew. Really. Where’s my dad?”

“I sent him to take a shower and rest for a bit. I’ll take care of you for now. You need to understand your dad’s exhausted. If he gets sick, he won’t be of any use to anyone. Just let him sleep and regain his strength–he’ll come back to check on you. In the meantime, I’ve made all your childhood favorites. Remember?”
