Novel1Chapter 1006 +25 BONUS As Valerie, Marcus, Serenity, and Laura traveled to the church, they all smiled, but each was lost in their own thoughts.
Marcus glanced at the rearview mirror and saw his little gir-his Serene-the sone who used to take out her mother's wedding dress and put it on, saying it was beautiful...
A lump formed in his throat. He couldn't wrap his head around how that six- or seven-year-old girl was now a grown woman.
Laura, as soon as she got into the car, carefully adjusted Serenity's dress, making sure the veil and train were perfect. As the car moved along the road, she stared out the window, lost in memories of how deeply in love she had been-or maybe still was with her daughter's father.
She couldn't help but wonder how things would have been if Adrian had reacted differently to her pregnancy. He would probably be the one waiting for her at the church, holding little Adele in his arms. They would have had a dream wedding, and their life would have been perfect.
But fate had different plans for her. One thing was certain over the past year, she had been forced to grow up.

The only thing Laura knew for sure was that she had to work hard, improve, and fight-for herself and for little Adele.
As she had said before, her daughter was and always would be her priority. The dreams of solitude, the youthful fantasies, were all in the past. Now, she had to put in more effort than anyone else.
She felt a deep sense of responsibility—not just for her daughter, but for her siblings and her father. That thought brought back the conversation she had with Lucius and their father...
[One day earlier] Like every night, the Evanses gathered around the table, sharing laughter and jokes as they tried to have a peaceful dinner.
But tonight's dinner was a little different. Three new seats had been added: one for Lucius, one for Amanda, and one for Diana.
"Guys! Guys! Put the tablets away. We're going to eat properly," Laura said from the head of the table. "Listen to your sister!" cMagnus's deep voice.
"Yes, Grandpa!" Maurice said, walking over and taking his hand. “Grandpa, sit next to me. Hey... after dinner, will you tellanother one of your stories?" Despite not knowing Magnus for long, Maurice had quickly grown attached to him. There was something about the man's elegance and mannerisms that fascinated the boy.
"I will, but you can't stay up too late. You have to wake up early tomorrow, remember? Serenity said you'll be helping carry her train, and I don't want you showing up with dark circles under your eyes." "Yes, Grandpa..." the boy murmured, full of admiration.
"Does anyone know where everyone is?" "Lau... Dad's in the study with Diana, and Lucius is probably sneaking around with Amanda," Paul said teasingly.

"What? I didn't say anything that wasn't true," he replied shamelessly.
"Con, everyone, take a seat. Let's eat," Laura said, taking charge.
A few minutes later, Lucius and Amanda walked into the dining room. As Lucius looked at the table, something about it felt strange.

He rarely got to eat in a place that felt this warm, this welcoming. He m squeezed Amanda's hand, looked at her, and smiled. She did the sbefore they sat down together.
"I'm glad you're here, Lucius! Now we're just waiting for Dad," Laura said as she fastened Adele's bib. Lucius dere couldn't help scanned the table and d the tableland couldn't but notice the older man sitting next to his brother. The way they interacted so closely didn't go unnoticed-not by him and certainly not by Magnus. "Lucius, right?" Magnus said, resting his hands on the table.
"Yes..." Lucius answered, feeling a little nervous.
"Your father, the idiot with no manners, hasn't introduced us. I'm Magnus Evans-your grandfather," the man said confidently.
"What?" Lucius asked, confused.
"You heard me, kid. I assyour father hasn't mentioned me, but I'm introducing myself now."
"No, no... My father did talk about you. It's just... I'm still processing it. I mean... never imagined you as a grandfather," Lucius admitted, nervous but honest. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
