Chapter 0753

Peter had been taken out of Valentia by Theodore, just in time to avoid being arrested. He didn’t even have the chance to check if Mary was in good hands and safe–his friend and companion had stopped him, and no power on earth could convince him to go see her.

He was being taken to his home in Slovenia, carrying a storm of emotions that were burning inside him and giving him a severe headache. His clothes still carried the scent of Mary, and he hadn’t had time to change.

When he arrived at the airport, Brock was already waiting for him, with orders to take him straight home. For now, he would be under the scrutiny of his driver.

Peter closed his eyes as he saw the door to his house–the one he hadn’t returned to in over two months. He didn’t know what awaited him and, for the moment, he didn’t feel like seeing anyone.

Celeste was in her painting studio when she noticed a car parking outside. Something made her look a little longer, and she saw Peter get out of the car, with Brock carrying a suitcase and accompanying him inside the house.

For a moment, she sighed in relief, as, regardless of how she felt, she did worry about Peter. She stood there, frozen, staring out at the garden. She didn’t know whether to go out to greet him as she had before or to wait for him to seek her out.
