Everything was wrapped up in the eastern country, and all of them headed to Chaverol, the place where Alexander and Serena had planned to live.
Before that, the entire family went to visit Alexander’s grave. They left with the promise that they would be coming to visit him once in a while.
The journey was long but not tiring, as Justin’s private jet was equipped with everything. Separate additional arrangents were made for Serena, with a private doctor and nurse to attend to her.
No one forced her to recognize anything or anyone, giving her enough ti.
They reached Chaverol at night. Their stay was arranged in the best hotel. Once all had rested enough through the night, the next day they headed toward the place that was the very ho.
Serena, who was always quiet, sat in the car and observed the view along the way. When the car moved toward the hilly area, with very few hos, it was beautiful and surrounded by natural beauty that seed to have been preserved just as it was.
Her gaze started to show an expression of noticing sothing familiar. As the car reached the place, her hands gripped her dress, and her lips trembled.
The man, Jude, was there to welco them, along with an elderly man.
Justin t them, and Jude introduced them to his father—Richard.
"Good to see you two," Richard said. "For a mont, I thought Alex from the past was standing in front of ."
Marina and Natalie were introduced as well.
Soon after, Aaron helped Serena get out of the car and then pushed her wheelchair.
Jude and Richard were surprised to see him. Justin told them it was Aaron. Then Richard’s gaze followed the woman in the wheelchair.
"Serena, is that you?" he asked, as he walked toward her.
Serena looked at him, "Richard."
"Yes, you recognize even after so many years?" the man said, but in response, Serena simply looked at the ho behind him and said, "Ho."
Justin told him that she was not well, while Richard was just happy to see her alive.
Richard guided them inside that beautiful and cozy ho, which was built on the most beautiful part of the hill. A small ho with just a few rooms, enough for a family of four, and surrounded by a beautiful garden that still had a small play zone built for the kids along with swings and slides.
It was more like a beautiful countryside ho, not a luxury villa, but it was charming and reflected the sentints of the ones who built it.
As they entered the premises, Serena’s gaze observed everything while Richard said, "I don’t know why I kept this ho as it is, despite so many people coming to with offers to buy it, but I couldn’t. Maybe it was waiting for its real owner."
"Thank you for keeping it," Aaron said.
"Don’t ntion it," Richard replied. "What I owe Alexander is far bigger than this—that I won’t be able to repay in this lifeti. Alexander was such a good man."
When they entered the ho, they saw that it was entirely ready, as if Alexander had prepared everything, ready to move in. There was a beautiful portrait of a family of four hung on the wall.
The ho was maintained so well that one could easily imagine how they would have been living in this ho happily.
Serena continued to stare at the portrait, tears running down her face. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn’t and continued to cry while looking at the portrait.
Aaron knelt in front of her and said, while wiping away her tears, "You rember everything, right?"
"Alex..." she said in a crying voice. It showed how much her heart still hurt for him.
"He must be happy to see that you finally ca here," Aaron said, his own voice a little shaky. "We ca here."
Natalie and Marina found their eyes turning moist, despite both of them trying their best to stay composed.
Justin simply looked at his mother, as there was nothing he could do to help her. Only if he could bring his father back alive—but that was not possible.
The family spent ti together in that ho, where they heard so stories about Alexander from Marina. Serena was quiet, but they were sure she was listening to everything as well.
When they decided to leave, Serena said, "Stay."
Aaron turned to her, "What did you say?"
"Stay," she repeated, her eyes gazing at everything as if she couldn’t bear to leave this place.
"She wants to stay here," Justin said, while the others had understood it as well.
Aaron assured her, as he held her hand, "I will stay here with you. We will stay here."
Serena, who barely reacted to what others said, let her lips curve into a light smile. Her hand gripped his hand, as if saying she was happy.
"I will stay here as well," Marina said. "This ho feels like my Alex is still here."
Finally, it was decided that Serena would stay here with Aaron and Marina for so ti. Aaron would handle his work from here, and Justin would take care of the rest if needed. Serena was more important than anything.
The next day, Justin and Natalie returned to the Imperial City, ready to be reminded that there were still matters waiting to bother them a little.
On the way to ho from the airport, they got the news which was not new to them.
Ford and Brown industries in a little trouble, and Jay Ford was not sick. There was another news that Briena and Ivan were going to get married, so both companies could support each other and bring the positive effect on the company.
"Now, back to seeing the news about these morons," Natalie sighed as she closed her eyes and leaned on Justin’s shoulder.
"Just a while more, later there won’t be a single new about them ever," Justin replied.
"That would be even better," she said and yawned.
"Are you tired from journey? Feeling nauseous...."
"Just tired," she said, "Once we reach ho, I am going to sleep for the days," he voice turned a cute as she caressed her belly, "My babies needs rest."
He smiled lightly. "Sure."
