My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0889

Marcus and Valerie were getting ready after the exhausting task of dressing the twins. John was now watching over them carefully with Camille.

"Dad, do I really have to go?" John asked while chatting remotely with Ethan.

"Yes, it's very important. The whole family needs to be together. I know you're not into these types of events, but one day, when you're an adult, you'll understand why they matter," Marcus said as he fixed his hair in the mirror.

John sighed dramatically. Adulthood sounded exhausting.

"Remember, your sister is getting married. We need to be there to support her," Marcus added in a more reassuring tone.

"But you don't even like Alden! How can you be so calm about this?" John asked, his innocence cutting straight to the point.

Marcus turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "Who told you I don't like Alden?"

"Well... you did. Every chance you get, you say you don't like him. But I think he's awesome," John said enthusiastically.

Marcus squinted his eyes, feeling an odd chill-not anger, but something else. He couldn't let his son's words get to him, so he just smiled and said, "Go check on Albert and Caroline. Make sure they don't mess up their clothes." He gave John a gentle push toward the door.

"Daaad, that's so boring..." John groaned.

"Go on! Watch your little siblings," Marcus insisted, secretly thinking of it as a minor punishment for thinking Alden was "awesome."

As soon as John left, Valerie walked into the room, holding the zipper of her dress and asking for help. Marcus turned—and was left speechless.
