My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0701

Alden couldn’t sleep after Serenity’s words echoed in his mind: “We love you too!” He kept glancing at her as she cuddled Adele, replaying the moment in his head. He wasn’t naive, and one thought kept nagging at him, though he wasn’t sure how to process it.

When Serenity woke up after a long nap, Alden was nowhere in the room. He’d gone to the living room to spend time with Ethan. John, Ethan, and Alden were roughhousing on the couch when Serenity walked in.

“What are you up to?” she asked with a smile.

“We’re trying to take Dad down, but he’s too strong!” Ethan declared as he launched himself at Alden.

The time spent in the Maldives had clearly strengthened the bond between Alden and Ethan. Even with Alden managing his businesses remotely and handling tasks that Theodore assigned him, he still made time for his son. Life felt calmer, more balanced.

Serenity stood watching them, convinced that Alden would make an amazing father for their future child. The only question was how to tell him the news.

Since Adele’s birth, their nights had been sleepless, and they barely had time to talk. Their relationship was still a secret, developing quietly during the late hours when everyone else was asleep. They hadn’t yet felt comfortable making their love public.

“Serenity, want some dinner?” Alden asked, balancing both kids on his lap.

“Have you eaten already?” she asked, unsure.

“These little monsters have, but I was waiting for you.”

“Alright, let’s eat–I’m starving!”

“Okay, kids, time to take a bath and get to bed. You’ve been playing all day and need to rest.”

“Can we see Adele first?”
