Chapter 0853

Valerie sat at the small garden table outside the house, the baby monitor resting on the table beside her. She sipped her coffee, lost in memories, replaying over and over the first time she and Marcus had spoken. She remembered that moment so vividly–Marcus had given her a coat and a little money to help her escape.

Back then, Marcus had seemed like a guardian angel sent to protect her. She had been scared, hurt, and terribly alone. Years later, Marcus had appeared in her life again–when she was frightened and worried. This time, she wasn’t alone, but she still needed more support.

After a moment of reflection, she spoke out loud to herself

“Was this really our destiny? Oh, Marcus… How much did we have to go through just to be together? And how much have we gone through together?”

Then, another memory surfaced–Peter. The man who was how lost in his own mind. She felt sorry for him. He had once been her knight in shining armor, a man with a heart of gold. She smiled as she thought about the one time she had visited the hospital with Marcus. It was obvious she didn’t belong there anymore. That chapter of her

life was over.

The people who needed to be there were there. Sure, they would always be connected because of their children, but that didn’t mean she needed to visit him.

Things between her and Marcus were finally getting better. Her husband had become the loving, grounded r she had fallen in love with again. She wasn’t about to disrupt that balance.

Right now, her biggest concern was her babies–including her eldest, Serenity, who had suddenly left the nest and was now about to become a mother herself. Valerie had to admit–life had a cruel sense of humor. The irony of her son and her daughter meeting, falling in love, and getting married was something she never could have predicted.

“Peter, Peter Palmer… What’s going to happen to you? I really hope that one day you remember us and get to live a happy, peaceful life,” Valerie said softly.

Another thought came to her–Peter’s current partner. The woman was younger than her, but that wasn’t what stood out. There was something about her that felt oddly familiar. She couldn’t quite place it. Even the name sounded familiar, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
