Chapter 1092

After that hug, Valerie walked over to Laura, Serenity's sister, with whom she'd developed a bit of a bond.

"Laura and beautiful Adele-I wish you both all the success in the world... You must finish your studies and use your degree. You're living proof that it's possible —and that's exactly what your little girl will learn from you.

"As a woman, you have to be strong-but it's always okay to accept help. And if the father of this little one is offering support and change... it's something you can at least think about," Valerie said, weaving in the subtle hints Serenity had shared with her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bartz! I'll keep that in mind..." Laura said, surprised and a little shaken-because the topic had, in fact, been on her mind for days.

After two warm hugs and lots of kisses for baby Adele came another awkward moment for Marcus-the goodbye between Valerie and Peter.

"Well, Mr. Peter Palmer... take care of yourself, look after your three little angels, and enjoy this second chance life has given you. And no more crazy stunts, okay? We don't know if you've got nine lives like a cat or not-but let's not find out," Valerie joked, unsure how else to say goodbye to him.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bartz! And take good care of my friend. I know he can be gruff and doesn't always know how to show his feelings, but I'm sure you know how to bring out the best in him," Peter said, just as if he were speaking to his friend's wife.
