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.

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

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.

Her tone was polite.

Her eyes?
