My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 570

Chapter 0570 

Valerie parked her car in front of the house that supposedly belonged to Peter. As she stepped out, her legs felt shaky, and a wave of dizziness hit her. She steadied herself against the car and began climbing the small steps led to the front door. Standing there was Theodore Bennett, looking serious–and, if she wasn’t mistaken, somewhat annoyed. 

“Mrs. Bartz, in your condition, you shouldn’t be driving at right.” 

“I came to see Peter! I don’t know who you are, but I need to speak with him. I know he’s here. I saw him this morning–1 know he lives here. I need to talk to him.”

“Ma’am, come in. We need to talk. Yes, he lives here. Please, come in,” Theodore said, gesturing with his hand.” Let’s go to the study.” 

Valerie looked around Peter’s house. It was so different from the style she remembered. The house they had once shared near the sea was simpler, with none of these luxuries. The Peter she knew didn’t care for such things. He liked expensive cars, sure, but when it came to a home, he preferred something more modest. 

“Ma’am…. This way,” Theodore called out again when he noticed she had fallen behind. 

Valerie entered an elegant office. Theodore motioned for her to sit, and she did. The more she looked around, the more she felt like this house belonged to a stranger. 

“Mrs. Bartz, I’ve spoken to Peter. He told me he did visit you. However, he was very clear that it was to say goodbye. Ma’am, I’m afraid that if you’re looking for him here, he’s no longer in the country. He’s left, and he believes it’s for the best–for both of you. 

“What are you saying? Why did he leave like that? He didn’t even let me talk to him! He just shows up, wrecks my life, and then disappears? What was the point? To show up, ruin everything, and leave?” Valerie said, clearly frustrated. 

“Ma’am, I think you need to calm down. In your condition, getting worked up like this isn’t a good idea. For heaven’s sake, if something happens to you in this house, can’t imagine what your husband would do. Let me remind you of one thing–you’re a married woman.” 

Those words shattered Valerie. She hadn’t fully processed her own actions until now. She wanted to argue, but the man in front of her had just struck a nerve she didn’t want to acknowledge. 

“Ma’am, your bodyguards are outside, waiting for you to leave. Don’t drag this family into trouble. Your husband is a very powerful man, and our family doesn’t want any issues with him. You should think about your children and leave.” 

“You know Peter, don’t you?” 

“Peter and I are family. I’ve been by his side for over twenty years. During the time you believed him to be dead, I was with him every day. Believe me, Valerie, it hasn’t been easy for him to deal with what happened–what his family did to him, and what you did to him.” 

“I didn’t do anything! To me, he was dead. My husband didn’t know either. It wasn’t my fault I fell in love with someone else. It wasn’t my fault I wanted to rebuild my life Can’t anyone understand that to me, he was dead?” 

“Valerie, what I find hard to understand is how, in your condition, you’re here, desperate to see him and talk to him. I know he was important to you, but you’re a married woman now–and not just to anyone. You’re married to his best friend. I don’t blame you. Marcus is a good man, but you could have rebuilt your life with someone else not Marcus. That’s my opinion, not Peter’s. But I’ll add this: you need to let him go. He doesn’t belong to you anymore. He wants to start a new life, to have a chance at something real. Do you think he can do that if you keep
