My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0895

She couldn't believe it.

It was her.

Angela Palmer.

Yes-she was Angela.

Which meant her fiance was none other than THAT Peter Palmer.

Aurora Rennard had mentioned it once-back when Celeste was just a teenager. She had seen Peter back then, and he had immediately caught her attention.

But, of course, a man like him would never notice a girl like her.

There was no doubt about it-this night was only getting worse.

It was bad enough that Katherine was here-the woman Peter still remembered loving.

But now Angela was here too-the woman who, as far as Celeste knew, had once been his great love.

A wave of dizziness hit her, and she quickly sat down.

But Peter didn't notice.

His eyes were locked onto the stunning woman embracing Serenity and Alden.

"Mamá, this is Valerie Bartz, Serenity's mother," Alden said, gently guiding his mother forward to greet her.

Katherine studied Valerie carefully, offering a polite yet distant smile. Unlike with Celeste, she let her gaze slowly sweep from head to toe.

It was a subtle gesture-but Valerie noticed.

She knew exactly what that meant.

It was irritating, but she kept her composure.

Tonight wasn't about them-it was about their children. So they had to behave.

"A pleasure to meet you, Valerie," Katherine said smoothly. "I've heard so many wonderful things about you. It's nice to finally meet you."

Her tone was polite.

Her eyes?

Not so much.
