My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0973

After a long and intense afternoon, all the Bartz, Palmer, al now Evans women were finally satisfied with the idea of that beautiful dress. Time was running out–only six days remained until the wedding–but the team Marcus Bartz had hired was professional and, of course, well–paid for their services. There was nothing to worry about.

After wrapping up that exhausting day, Marcus returned the children he had been looking after, promising himself never to get into such a mess again.

Celeste, though she would have loved to chat with Aurora a bit longer, had to leave. Her little ones were restless, and it was time to go home. They exchanged phone numbers before she left with Aria, Diana, Danielle, and the newly acquainted Ellie, whom John had just introduced.

Serenity, on the other hand, had already let them know she wouldn’t be coming horne that night, which meant Alden had the evening off. He took the opportunity to go out with Adam, who excitedly talked about how captivated he was by the country. He also took the chance to ask about his father, which surprised Alden–he was still trying to process the shock.

Adam was the spitting image of Theodore, just much younger, more easygoing, always smiling and full of energy.

Valerie looked around her house, which had been full of people all day and still was. That sight filled her with satisfaction, and her thoughts drifted to the past–to the reason she and Marcus had come back here in the first place.

“My love… You look exhausted!” Valerie said, watching her husband.

“I’m dead! Next time, I’m hiring a nanny team too. In fact, I’ll hire them for the wedding. Taking care of three big kids and four babies… At least Laura’s daughter didn’t come, or imagine that.”

“By the way, has our daughter left already?” Marcus asked, looking a bit puzzled.

“No, Marcus, she’s still downstairs with Laura. The only one who left was Celeste, along with her mother–in–law and the others. The girls looked tired and a little uncomfortable.”

Valerie felt a strange sensation as she said that, but she knew she had to get used to it. Once they returned to Hesperia, Peter would become nothing more than a memory.

“Oh! So Serenity’s staying over?” Marcus asked, intrigued.

“Yes, she wants to spend these days with us. She knows that after the wedding, we’ll be heading to Hesperia for a few weeks to sort out everything for our move.”

“Yeah, but we’ll come back to Valentia. We’ll stay until the baby is born, and after that, we’ll finally set a date to go home for good,” Marcus said, laying out his plans.

Valerie knew how hard it was for Marcus to be away from his daughter, but staying in this country was complicated for both of them–not just because of the present, but because of the past as well. Even though Marcus seemed calmer now, this place was no longer his home. His best moments were elsewhere, and that place was Hesperia.

“Hey… Guess what?” Valerie said, her face glowing with excitement.

“What?” Marcus responded immediately.

Serenity is going to look stunning. We found a way to use
