My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 801

Chapter 0801 

“Serenity, Alden…” Maximus said, watching as they checked on Ethan, making sure he was still asleep in the car. 

“Maximus…” Serenity said softly, looking somewhat embarrassed. 

“Alden, you and I talked about this… What happened?” 

“Dad… Maximus… He and I love each other. That should be enough for us to be together,” Serenity said, cutting Alden off. 

“Serenity, sweetheart… I know I haven’t been in your life for long, and I’m probably the last person who should be questioning you–I know that! But have you two even thought about how Marcus and Mary are going to react?” Maximus asked seriously. 

“Uncle… I know you and I talked about this, but… It just happened. Nothing was planned. I love your daughter, and I’m not going to leave her,” Alden said firmly. 

“I’d kill you if you did!” Maximus snapped, his eyes locking onto Serenity’s small baby bump. “God… Do you two have any idea what you’re dragging me into? Your mother is going to want to kill us all. I have no idea how she’ll react. And Alden, have you even thought about your father? 

“We didn’t expect them to be here!” Alden admitted, feeling guilty. “We planned to tell them tomorrow… Well, in a few hours.” 

“Serenity, Alden… I won’t lie and say I’m happy about this, but I’m not going to abandon you either. I appreciate that you wanted to tell me first, but you need to sit down and talk to Mary and Marcus. It won’t be easy, but if I were you, I’d take advantage of the fact that your father is in a calmer state right now,” Maximus said, looking directly at Serenity. 

“Maximus… Do you think he’ll react badly to my baby? To my relationship with Alden?” Serenity asked, a little scared. 

“Serenity, I don’t think anyone is going to congratulate you Honestly, I’m trying to stay rational here. What father sends his daughter on a trip and expects her to come back pregnant and with a partner? I don’t think any father would take that well. But at the same time, I also know I’m the last person who should be judging.” 

“Uncle, I know this isn’t what you expected from me, but I swear to you, I will take care of Serenity and our child. We’re ready to fight for our love. My father taught me to face anything that comes my way,” Alden said with determination, wrapping his arms protectively around Serenity.
