My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1018 As everyone gathered in their spots for a big family photo, Marcus was holding little Albert, playing with him, blowing raspberries on his belly, making him squirm with laughter.

If there was one thing about Marcus, it was that he was an exemplary father. He played with his kids without caring what anyone thought. He didn't mind if his clothes got covered in milk or drool. With John and Albert, he was rougher-teasing them, tossing them in the air, tickling them, making them fly like airplanes. But with Caroline, he was gentle and tender, kissing her with devotion, holding her close, and playing more softly. erick asked, walk "What's the plan?" Frederick asked, walking up to Marcus.

"The plan is in Hesperia, my dear Frederick..." Marcus said, still playing with his son.

"Are you absolutely sure?" Frederick asked.

"Yes... There's nothing left for us here, and in Hesperia, everything is going full speed ahead." "Well then... Hesperia it is!" Frederick said with a big smile "Hey! Hey! Who said I needed you?" Marcus cut in sharply.

"What?" Frederick replied, caught off guard.

"My friend, it's tfor you to live your own life. I'm a big boy now, in case you haven't noticed," Marcus said sarcastically.

Frederick gave him a curious look.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked, still intrigued.

"Well, I was waiting for you to tell me, but you never did. Do you really think I haven't noticed that you and Camille have something going on?" Marcus asked seriously.

Frederick instantly blushed, looking nervous.

"Marcus... I..." Frederick murmured.

"Frederick, you've been my most loyal and faithful companion. More than that, you've been my friend-my best friend.

"I can even say, with complete sincerity, that you've been like the father life took away from me. But now, it's tfor you to live your own life. You're not a young man anymore, and if life has placed Camille in your path, what more could you ask for? "I have to admit, I never imagined you two-well, you know-ending up together, especially given that woman's personality. But I'm happy for you. You and I both really needed someone in our lives.

"You know something?" "Tell me," Frederick replied, still a little embarrassed.

"Do you know why it's been so hard forto let go of Serenity?" Marcus asked with a nostalgic tone. "Because you're a jealous lunatic?" Frederick said sarcastically.

"Partly... but no, that's not it. That girl-well, what am I saying, girl? That woman cinto my life the day you and I almost died." "Don't exaggerate. Nothing even happened to you," Frederick said seriously.

"You don't know what I felt, seeing her lying there, her cheeks all red and sweaty. The poor thing was asleep, but even then, she was whimpering.

"It hurt to see her like that. Not that it was wrong, but it broke my heart to know she was practically the owner of a fortune and yet lived in completely different circumstances. You could tell just by looking at her clothes, her shoes, her blanket.

"Then I got angry, because I could've taken care of her from the start. Seeing her mother so worried, counting every coin she had, hurt me.

"I mean, I was a complete idiot. She askedfor help, and caught up in my own pain, I did the only thing I could think of-I left them with nothing.

"Marcus, let it go, my dear friend. In the end, you didn't abandon them. You gave them smoney, and that helped them," Frederick said, watching as Marcus relived it all.

"Serenity saved me. That day, without her mother noticing, I snuck in and sat beside my little girl. She woke up, not fully just searching for her mom.

I held her hand, and she hugged me. She didn't know me, but she hugged me. I picked her up and held her until she was completely asleep.

"That was the first tI felt a strange warmth. The first tI held a child-well, a little girl My girl. My baby... silently promised her that I would never leave her alone again, no matter if I had to face her mother's wrath." "And what a wrath! I still remember our countless fights... But hey, from hate to love," Frederick said, patting Marcus's back.

"Frederick, you and I started this journey together, but that doesn't mean we have to end it that way. You need to find your own path.

"If you want to stay by my side, I have no problem with it. But I think the healthiest thing is for you to start your own life... Go on vacation with Camille, enjoy your fortune." "My friend, what fortune?" Frederick asked sarcastically.

"I transferred the shares that belong to you. That means a great deal of money for you to live your life however you please. What's mine is yours, remember? "You and I built our businesses together. Just because my nand surnare on them doesn't mean I own everything. You own 50% of what I have, and I won't deny that." "Marcus, that's a lot of money!" Frederick said, pale with shock.

"It's your money, my friend! It's yours!" Marcus said with a smilę, patting him on the back. "Now pull yourself together, let's go take that picture already. This is taking forever." Marcus started walking toward Valerie and her friends. Albert had fallen asleep, and Caroline was peacefully resting in Aurora's arms.

"God, when the hell are we taking this picture?” Marcus grumbled, starving.

"Relax, sweetheart. You don't bring three families with kids together and expect to cout unscathed, do you?" Valerie said, handing her husband a chocolate bar.
