My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1137

Diana and Celeste were chatting in the garden, sipping tea and indulging in desserts Diana especially, as her cravings were in full swing.

"How's married life treating you?" Celeste asked with a curious smile.

"Good. I really can't complain. Maximus is a great man. Yes, I know he's a bit older than me, but that's never mattered to me. You know, on our honeymoon, the poor guy got jealous a few times..."

"Really?" Celeste asked, surprised.

"Yeah. He kept saying he could be my dad, and that a bunch of younger guys were checking me out. I mean, I never looked at them—I wouldn't, ever. He's the only one I care about. I don't even see anyone else."

"And how are things with you and Peter?" Diana asked, trying to sound casual.

"Good. We're still adjusting to our life together-and to parenting."

"How's it going between you two?" Diana pressed with a little grin.

"I think... really well. I haven't had any complaints so far," Celeste laughed softly.

"You look happy with him," Diana said, nudging her playfully.

"I am. Very happy."

"Have you two set a date for the wedding?"

"No, not yet. But honestly, that's not what matters to me. What matters is that we have a life together, that we love each other, that we love our daughters and everything this family represents. Though, I'll be honest..."

"Go on, tell me..."

"I never thought I could be this happy with someone. After my first husband died, I didn't think happiness like this was even possible especially not here, in this house," Celeste said, glancing around at her home.
