Chapter 0792

Once Alden ended the call, he leaned down and kissed Serenity’s cheek. Slowly, she stirred, her eyes fluttering

open.

“Sweetheart, wake up… Hey…” he whispered, his voice tinged with concern.

Serenity rubbed her eyes. “Alden? What’s wrong?”

“I just got off the phone with Maximus. We need to return to Valentia immediately.”

Her drowsiness faded instantly. “Why? What happened?”

“It’s my father… He’s in the hospital. Maximus asked me to come back as soon as possible.”

Serenity sat up, alarmed. “But… what about us?”

“We’re all going back,” Alden said firmly. “It’s time.”

“Alden! But… what are we going to do?”

“We’ll face whatever comes, together,” he reassured her. “Remember–you’re my wife now. Whatever affects. you, affects me. We’re a family, and nothing will tear us apart.

And before we ever let anything come between us, before we let anyone get in our way, you, me, and Ethan will leave this country and never look back.”

Serenity swallowed hard, nodding. “Yes…”

“Then let’s start packing. In less than an hour, a security team will be here to take us to the airport. Serenity, I don’t know exactly what’s happening in Valentia, but no matter what, no one is going to separate us. Understand? “Alden held her face between his hands, his eyes burning with determination.

Serenity exhaled shakily. “I know we have to go back… but honestly, I’m scared. I can’t imagine how my father and mother will react. Or Maximus. Or… or even your father…”

“My love, my life,” Alden said, pulling her into his arms. “Calm down. First of all, you and I are adults. No one can force us apart–that kind of thing is in the past.

I know this won’t be easy. But we knew this day would come. So I need you to be strong, okay?”

Serenity nodded against his chest, inhaling his scent, grounding herself in him.

After a brief moment of comfort, they got up and left their room.

Emma and Laura, as always, were tending to Adele. The little ones were playing in their room. And Paul? He was lounging on the couch, texting his girlfriend–who was currently vacationing in the Maldives.

Alden took a deep breath and called out, “Family, I need your attention. Maurice, Ethan, John–I know you’re in your room. Get out here now.”

“What’s with the shouting, Alden?” Emma asked, adjusting Adele in her arms.

“Yeah, what’s going on?” Laura chimed in.
