My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1105

After thirteen hours of flight, the Bartz family — now also the new Palmer family — finally began to see the city skyline coming into view.

The sight brought a sense of deep peace to both Marcus and Valerie, while Jonathan and Ethan were practically vibrating with excitement. Alden, on the other hand, was a bundle of nerves, holding Serenity and their baby close. Everyone had traveled fairly well — except for Albert and Caroline, who had burned off endless energy like the little ones they were.

During the landing, Alden couldn't help but replay his father's parting words over and over in his head:

"Son… It's time for us to walk different paths, but know that my home will always be your home. I might not remember everything I taught you, but use the advice I gave you well: Live your life as it comes — simple and easy. Don't get caught up in work — there will always be more of it. But your wife and children… they are your priority. Always remember who and what you work for."

"Yeah... Thanks for everything, old man!" Alden had said, hugging Peter tightly.

"Hey! The mountains are old, not me! I'm in my prime — can't you see I'm stealing collagen from my woman?" Peter joked, pulling Celeste close by the waist.

"Definitely," Alden laughed, seeing Peter's massive grin stretching from ear to ear.

"Oh! So that's your plan in marrying me, huh?" Celeste said, narrowing her eyes playfully.

"What plan? Getting you pregnant with another set of twins and going for six kids total?" Peter teased shamelessly.

"Peter!" Celeste exclaimed, blushing a deep cherry red.

"Dad... stop teasing poor Celeste," Alden said, thinking this had to be a joke.

"I'm not teasing her! I'm telling her upfront that I want six kids with her," Peter said, totally serious.

"Are you serious?" Serenity asked, shocked.

"Of course! We've got a huge house, my wife is young, and there's no reason we can't have more kids. Besides, I've discovered I absolutely love children," Peter said, hugging Celeste tighter.
