LittleNovelChapter 0498 [Marcus Bartz] Marcus froze the moment he saw Peter at the shospital. It felt as though fate itself was going out of its way to ensure Valerie and Peter would cross paths again. He knew it was only a matter of tbefore they inevitably met, but the real question wasn't when-it was how his wife would react.
Throughout their marriage, nothing had ever truly shaken their relationship-until they moved to Valentia. For a fleeting moment, Marcus had felt insecure when Valerie saw Maximus again. However, she had quickly dispelled his doubts, and he had to admit that their little ones were a result of those reassurances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, though, things were different. If Valerie and Peter met again, Marcus had no idea how his wife would respond. The two of them had been deeply in love once, but she had built a new life. She was married now, with children and two more on the way.
These thoughts stole Marcus's peace. He vividly recalled his jealousy when Peter's brother had cinto the picture. It had almost torn their marriage apart. How would he handle this situation, knowing it was bound to happen? It was clear Peter was trying to rebuild his own life and stay out of the way. He had even confided in Marcus about his relationship with his son's teacher a woman Marcus had met and had to admit was stunning. But Peter wasn't the issue; Marcus trusted him. It was Valerie he worried about, especially with her carrying their unborn children-innocent lives caught in the middle of it all.
Lost in these thoughts, Marcus finally reached the room where Valerie was sleeping peacefully. Instinctively, he kissed her forehead and sat down to gaze at the woman he had loved for over 20 years, even though she had once loved someone else.
A couple of hours later, Valerie stirred awake. She found Marcus beside her, his head resting on her hand as he dozed off. Seeing him asleep brought a smile to her face. A challenging tlay ahead, and neither of them was as young as they used to be. Changing diapers, preparing bottles, and taking care of babies wasn't something they'd envisioned returning to after all these years. Yet soon, they'd be back in that routine.
Marcus began to wake as he felt her fingers gently running through his hair.
"Valerie, my love... you're awake!” he said, his voice groggy but warm.

"Yes, my darling, and I love you too! I already miss our children," Valerie replied, gazing at him with a smile. Marcus tenderly stroked her face and hair. Outwardly, he appeared calm, just a bit tired. Inside, though, a storm was raging. Even if Peter claimed he had no intention of seeking Valerie out, Marcus knew his wife well enough to suspect that, upon learning Peter was alive, she might want to find him.
That thought made Marcus wrap his arms tightly around her, as though trying to merge with her so no one could take her away.
"Marcus, love, you're squeezingtoo hard!" she laughed softly.
"Hey... I've been thinking. What if we go back to Hesperia? We chere to avenge Peter's death and reclaim what rightfully belonged to your family. But now... well, I manage your businesses, and Alexia Levett is dead. There's no one left to blame."
"Marcus, my love, I'd love to go back to Hesperia! But there's so much to consider If we do go, it has to be after Chapter 6498 +25 BONUS
the babies are born. John is already settling into his new school and has becgood friends with Ethan. Serenity is also starting to adjust to this life. And I'm not sure if Erma would want to go with us."
"You're right, my love. Once the babies are born, we can revisit the idea. What do you think? Once everyone is here, we can discuss the possibility with the family.'
