My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1058

Valerie looked at the urn holding her grandpa Albert's ashes and couldn't help feeling a heavy weight in her chest. She was overwhelmed with nostalgia.

Just remembering the life she'd shared with her grandparents, and how suddenly her grandfather had passed, brought it all back.

"Oh, Grandpa... So much has changed since that day you came to pick me up from school," Valerie said wistfully.

She remembered that day so clearly-how her grandfather had suddenly shown up to take her somewhere unknown. That had been twenty-five years ago.

An adventure that led her to meet new people who, from the moment they came into her life, never left it again.

Today, Serenity and Alden were coming back from their honeymoon. Serenity, the daughter born from her youthful love, whom she adored, was about to start a new chapter. Soon, she'd be having her baby. She was lucky-she'd found a good partner. She'd learned to recognize those true sparks of love.

In just a couple of months, the newly formed Palmer Bartz family would be welcoming its newest member, a baby girl named Isabelle.

"My love... Valerie?" Marcus called from the doorway.

He'd been talking to her for five minutes, but she hadn't responded. Her eyes were fixed on her grandfather's ashes.

"Sorry! What were you saying? Did you call me?" Valerie said, snapping out of it. "My love, are you okay? I was talking to you for a while..." Marcus asked, curious. "Oh, it's nothing. Just women things... Actually, more like memories flooding in. What's up, tell me?"

"Hey, I talked to Serenity. She wants us to help with that house they saw in Hesperia. She wants us to tell the agent to check it out and work out the details so they can buy it-the one they liked in Hesperia."

"Wow! So, these kids are really serious about moving to Hesperia?"

"Of course, love! They already narrowed it down to five options Ethan showed them, with John's help."

"With your brilliant help, I assume..." Valerie said with a touch of sarcasm.

"What can I say? After they asked if it was possible to buy Silvercrest Castle or the Pines Estate... I had to step in and help a little. The Palmers really are born with a flair for the exotic."
