My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 872

Now, with her own daughter expecting a child, Valerie did everything she could to take care of her, to spoil her. Everything she hadn’t had when she was pregnant with Serenity, she was now making sure her daughter did have.

Serenity and Alden had agreed to keep up the act—that they didn’t know their baby’s gender. It was a harmless lie, one they both held onto.

At the very least, they wanted to give both of their families the excitement of a big reveal.

And Marcus and Valerie?

They had been the first to know the sweet secret.

“Mom, Dad,” Serenity said as they ate breakfast in the garden.

“Yes?” Marcus responded, masking his curiosity with a serious tone—mostly because Alden, his future son-in-law, was sitting right there.

“We want to tell you something…” Serenity said excitedly.

“Do you finally have a date for the wedding?” Marcus asked again.

“No, Dad… It’s something else,” Serenity said. “Alden, tell them—you give them the news.”

Alden took a deep breath, gripping the handle of his coffee cup with his thumb and index finger while his other hand reached for Serenity’s.

“We know the baby’s gender,” Alden said, his voice filled with emotion.

“What is it?” Valerie asked eagerly while feeding the twins.

“It’s a girl!” Serenity exclaimed.

“A girl? Really?” Marcus asked, clearly moved but wanting to make sure he had heard correctly.

“Yes, Dad! Our baby is going to be a beautiful little girl!” Alden said with excitement.
