My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0874 Days after their trip to Galea, Peter was finally taking Celeste home to Willowcombe. The drive promised to be refreshing. Since that trip, their relationship had been growing stronger. Celeste still found herself surprised by some of Peter's changes, but she was noticeably more relaxed.

"Peter, are you sure you want to drive all the way to my house?" Celeste asked with concern.

"Of course! The road must be interesting, and besides, it's only five hours. We'll stop along the way to rest, and if we find a nice place, we can take a break there," Peter said, wrapping his arms around her from behind and resting his hands on her rounded belly.

"Alright... but we need to stop often so I can stretch my legs. You know how swollen they get in the afternoons."

"Of course. No need to worry. Oh, and I already packed the carrier in the car- Spike is finally coming home with us for real. What's with him living at the neighbor's place?"

Celeste felt warmth spread through her chest at his words. She had fallen in love with the old Peter, but she certainly wasn't rejecting the one standing in front of

her now.

In so many ways, this Peter was different. His clothes, his mannerisms, his way of thinking, even how he expressed himself.

This Peter was extremely affectionate he loved touching her belly, openly sharing his feelings, and making sure she was cared for and pampered.

At first, that change had frightened her. But now, if she was being honest with herself, she was completely smitten with this new version of him.

In private, Peter was careful-but that didn't mean he wasn't fire. He was intense, passionate, and he always made sure she reached pleasure more than once. Pregnancy hormones were driving her crazy, but Peter knew exactly how to handle them.

Celeste watched as he packed a picnic basket full of food-for the long drive, he had said.

That was another thing she admired about him. He didn't need anyone's help. He took care of everything himself, never relying on others to do things for him. And that made his little gestures all the more special.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Peter, after loading the basket into the car, turned to her and grinned.

"If you keep staring at me like that, cielo, you're going to swallow a fly," he teased, winking at her.
