My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 863

Chapter 0863

“These two little ones are going to need all of our attention

For a moment, Peter just looked at Celeste, slowly realizing what it was about her that drew him in.

It wasn’t just her outward beauty- not that she was unattractive or that he didn’t like her but, to be honest, she wasn’t the type of woman he would normally feel attracted to. It was something else. It was her warmth, her kindness–it was all the things he had always searched for In other women but never admitted out loud.

Even though his mind was a complete mess, constantly playing tricks on him–because, as far as he remembered, Katherine was his world–Celeste was everything he truly needed.

She was a woman who brought him peace, a woman who genuinely cared about him. She said he was strong, but no–she was the strong one.

Even with her pregnancy so far along, she had never left his side, never once thought about how exhausted she might be. All she wanted was to be there for him.

“Let’s go inside. It’s late, and the mosquitoes will be out soon to feast on us,” Peter said, letting go of her.

“Yeah, let’s go…

“Are you hungry?”

“No… I think you bought enough food to last us the whole trip.”

“Good… Then let’s head inside. The breeze is making it a little chilly out here.”

“Yeah…” Celeste agreed, trying to get up, though it took some effort.

Peter saw her struggling, stood up, and effortlessly lifted her by the waist, as if she weighed nothing.

“The house is supposedly ready to live in, so we shouldn’t have any issues staying the night here.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

They stepped inside, and time seemed to fly by. Celeste couldn’t deny that Peter was right–this house was a home. It wasn’t a mansion or a castle like the ones she had seen before. This place radiated warmth, something that set it apart from all the others.

It reminded her of her own home, which made her suddenly remember something–her cat, Spike. She had left him with the neighbors, who, strangely enough, seemed like his second owners. Some days, he would disappear, and when she least expected it, he would come strolling out of their house.
