My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1137

Diana and Celeste were chatting in the garden, sipping tea and indulging in desserts Diana especially, as her

cravings were in full swing.

"How's married life treating you?" Celeste asked with a curious smile.

"Good. | really can't complain. Maximus is a great man. Yes, | know he's a bit older than me, but that's never

mattered to me. You know, on our honeymoon, the poor guy got jealous a few times..."

"Really?" Celeste asked, surprised.

"Yeah. He kept saying he could be my dad, and that a bunch of younger guys were checkingout. | mean, |

never looked at them—I wouldn't, ever. He's the only one | care about. | don't even see anyone else."

"And how are things with you and Peter?" Diana asked, trying to sound casual.

"Good. We're still adjusting to our life together-and to parenting."

"How's it going between you two?" Diana pressed with a little grin.

"| think... really well. | haven't had any complaints so far," Celeste laughed softly.

"You look happy with him," Diana said, nudging her playfully.

"I am. Very happy."

"Have you two set a date for the wedding?"

"No, not yet. But honestly, that's not what matters to me. What matters is that we have a life together, that we

love each other, that we love our daughters and everything this family represents. Though, I'll be honest..."

"Go on, tell me..."

"I never thought I could be this happy with someone. After my first husband died, | didn't think happiness like

this was even possible especially not here, in this house," Celeste said, glancing around at her home.

"I'm really glad to hear that. Truly. We've barely talked about your past, but | can imagine it wasn't easy."

Celeste went quiet for a moment, her mind drifting back to those hard days when it was just her and Spike.

Whether things were good or not, she still got up every day and fought to move forward.

"Can | tell you something?" Celeste asked cautiously.

"Of course."

And they stayed that way for days. He never realized it, but it was obvious-he didn't remember me. It was

uncomfortable. He looked at my belly with confusion. I've never told him, but it hurt."

She paused, then smiled. "But now? Now I'm just thankful he stayed with us. He's amazing with the girls.

Honestly, | think our daughters feel the sway | do."

"What do you mean?"

"They fall in love with him every tthey see him. You should see the way they look at him—it's like he's the

most magical thing they've ever seen. And he looks at them the sway. They're his whole world."

"You need to let go of those early moments. That was months ago. If he stayed, it's because he chose to. Have

you ever seen even a hint of doubt in his eyes?"

"No, not at all. He's toldthat himself that he stayed because he wanted to. Not because | begged or pushed.

But | can't pretend those early days didn't hurt."

"Chere..." Diana said, opening her arms.

She understood. She'd seen Celeste fight tooth and nail during the tPeter was unconscious. Despite

everything, despite her own

vulnerable state, she never wavered. When everyone else had nearly given up on Peter, she was the one who

held on-believing he would wake up, even if it wasn't the way she hoped.

Celeste had been strong. Maximus had told her that Celeste had endured the suspicion of an affair between

Peter and Valerie. She'd had to see Valerie, face her, deal with it all.

The Peter everyone knew now wasn't the sman she had spent a year and a half with. That man had been

serious, bitter. And no one really knew if he had ever loved her or if she had just been a distraction from his pain

over Mary.

As if fate had wanted to give them both a second chance, Peter had lost those memories—and the man who

woke up was someone entirely different. He was a 25-year-old version of himself, carefree, unburdened.

This new Peter had slowly, naturally won Celeste over with his warmth, his kindness, the way he cared for her

and their daughters. He wasn't the man she once knew—but what he made her feel now was even stronger than

before.

"My love," Peter said, wrapping his arms around Celeste from behind and handing her a bouquet of roses and

freesias.

"Peter... How did you know?" she asked, looking at the bouquet.

"They're your favorites, right?"

"Yes..." she said softly, turning to look into his eyes.

The moment touched Diana deeply. In silence, she and Maximus both

understood: Celeste was the right woman for Peter. No doubt.

woke up as someone new.

"Hey, lovebirds... Get a room!" Maximus called out, laughing at how lovey-dovey they were.

Diana elbowed him.

"Don't say that! Let them enjoy the moment. Besides... you didn't bringany flowers," she added, eyeing his

"Wow! | want it now!" Diana said, her mouth watering.

"| love you, Maximus!"

"I love you even more..." he replied, kissing her forehead.

"Get a room, you two!" Peter called, bursting in and catching them in their tender moment.

"Peter!"

"What? You said it to us first! And I'm four rooms away-you two need the room more than we do," he said with a

teasing grin.
