My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0977 +25 BONUS Finally, Laura's driver arrived. She said goodbye to all the women in the lounge, none of whom noticed that Valerie hadn't returned yet. They all assumed she was busy taking care of her twins, but the truth was far from that.

Marcus and Valerie were completely lost in each other, tangled in kisses and touches they hadn't indulged in for a long time. Valerie caught sight of car lights fading into the distance, and only then did she remember she hadn't gone back to see the girls.

"Marcus... Marcus... The girls are in the lounge..." Valerie murmured, her face flushed.

"So...?" Marcus replied, still kissing her skin and pressing her body against his.

"Marcus... I need to go see them..." she said, struggling to focus.

"Just a little longer... Who knows when we'll get another moment like this," Marcus murmured, completely absorbed in her.

He loved seeing her writhe beneath him, lost in pleasure. The desk was a mess, but none of that mattered. Having his wife like this was a luxury he didn't want to waste.

Meanwhile, in the lounge, the women were starting to leave one by one, exhausted from the long day. Serenity had hoped to see her mother, but she assumed Valerie was with the twins. Feeling drained, she made her way to her room. The moment she stepped inside, nostalgia hit her-everything was just as she had left it.

She sat on her bed, gently rubbing her rounded belly. A soft smile crossed her lips as she took in the familiar space around her. Just over a year ago, she had arrived in Valentia. And from the moment she met Alden, she had known -he would change her life. He would be the love of her life. He was everything.

She couldn't deny it. She had chere with dreams and plans, but no boy had ever captured her heart the way Alden had. A blush crept onto her face as memories surfaced-their first encounters, their secret getaways in the Maldives, where it had all truly begun. Those long walks at night, their deep pillow talks, the moment she gave herself to him for the first time, their first kisses...

She grabbed her phone and sent a text: [Hi, my love! I miss you! I love you!] A reply calmost instantly.

. [I love you! I miss you more! I'm out for a drink with Adam!] Serenity frowned at the name.

[Who's Adam?] Alden chuckled when he saw her response. He snapped a photo and sent it.

[Who do you think he looks like?] Serenity stared at the picture in surprise. The young man looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place him. [Who is he?] Alden smirked at her confusion.

[You really don't recognize him?] Serenity, now slightly impatient, typed back.

1/3 Chapter 0977 [No! Who is he?] Alden's reply cright away.

[He's Theodore's son!] Serenity's eyes widened as she read the message.

[Are you serious?!] [Yep!] [I knew I had seen that face before, but I couldn't figure out where!] [Theodore and his mother are spending stalone, so Adam and I went out for a drink.] [Alright! Be safe on your way back.] [I will, my love. How did your day go?] [Amazing! I found my dream dress!] [That's perfect, my love! I'll cpick you up tomorrow.] Okay, my love. I love you.] [I love you more. Get srest, sweetheart.] Their messages were short and sweet, but they filled the couple with warmth.

Serenity got up and glanced at herself in the mirror on her dainty vanity. A smile formed as she studied her reflection. Somehow, she no longer saw a young girl staring back at her-she saw a woman. She turned to the side, observing how her belly had grown. It was more noticeable now, heavier. Her little one was growing, and that filled her with pride.

Back in the study, Valerie let out a shaky breath. "Marcus, let's go... The girls must be asleep by now," she said, flustered and out of breath.

Marcus grinned against her skin. "Alright, alright... Let's go see if they're still up. But I bet they've already gone to bed." He helped her get dressed, smiling all the while.

A few minutes later, they stepped out of the study, looking relaxed and sharing a knowing smile. When they reached the lounge, it was empty-just as they had expected.

On the way to their room, they stopped by Serenity's. She was already fast asleep.

"Serenity, sweetheart..." Valerie whispered, pushing the door open gently.

Her daughter was completely out. Marcus grabbed a blanket, draped it over her, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. No matter how much tpassed, Serenity would always be his little girl.

"Our daughter is beautiful, isn't she?" Marcus murmured.

"Yes... A beautiful momma," Valerie replied, watching him with affection.

"She's going to be an amazing mother. I'm really going to miss her when she moves into her own home," Marcus admitted, pulling his wife into an embrace.

"She's going to be just fine, and you know it. She chose her partner well-you raised her right," Valerie reassured 2/3 Chapter 0977 him, knowing how hard this was for him.
