Alden had just dropped off Serenity and the girls at Valerie house. Even Celeste and the little ones had joined the group. They all planned to help Serenity with the design of her wedding dress.

While that was happening, Alden received a call from a familiar contact.

“Theodore? How are you?” Alden said as he answered.

“Good, Alden, good!” Theodore replied casually. “Hey, is your father home? Is he busy?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

“Yeah, he’s here. Do you want me to put him on?” Alden asked, a bit intrigued.

Theodore never asked–he just showed up.

“I just wanted to check if you’d be home. There’s something I need to go over with you both,” Theodore said, his nervous tone returning.

“Of course! When will you get here?”

“I’m arriving from Dubai. I just need to stop by the hotel for my reservation, then I’ll head to your place.”

Alden and Peter waited in the study for Theodore’s arrival. He had already mentioned he was coming for Alden and Serenity’s wedding but would be arriving a few days early. However, something felt off. Normally, Theodore would just show up unannounced and leave without saying goodbye. This time was completely different–he had actually called ahead to say he was coming to Valentia.

Another strange thing? He was staying at a hotel.

Peter didn’t remember much about Theodore, but Alden did. After nearly six years of living together, he had learned all the quirks of the two men he had shared a home with. So the fact that Theodore had not only given them a heads–up but also mentioned staying at a hotel was enough to raise suspicion.

“What are you thinking about, son?” Peter asked, placing his hands on Alden’s shoulders from behind.
