Chapter 1158
While she was preparing or overseeing breakfast, Serenity and her little family
were walking along the beach, occasionally playing with Ethan, who darted in and out of the water's edge.
Alden would lift him up and pretend to throw him into the sea. The boy just laughed and begged for more. While
her two favorite boys played on the beach, Serenity sat down in the sand, and naturally, Isabelle did too. She
was just starting to take her first steps-not quite walking yet, but with a little help, she could go a few paces.
Serenity looked at her family and felt happy-though not completely. She knew her brother would be arriving
today.
He was bringing his daughter with him, and she wouldn't be there to greet him, though Frederick and Camille
would be they were in charge of showing him his new home.
She felt a deep sorrow for him. She didn't know what kind of karma he was paying off, but losing the only woman
he'd ever cared about had been painful. Seeing how he had to make such tough decisions with wisdom and
strength had truly impressed her.
Lucius was nothing like the man who once kidnapped her and acted like he ruled the world. The young man she
saw now was alone, with a baby, a sad look in his eyes, a scared look. He had no clue how to care for a baby, but
he wasn't asking for help either. On the contrary, he kept to himself.
Serenity wished she could be there to welchim, but what her mother was about to do today needed all the

"Serenity..." said Alden, approaching with Ethan in his arms.
"Yes... Tell me..."
"Let's go back home. The sun's starting to cup, and Isabelle's going to get sunburned..."
"Yeah. Can you helpup?"
"Of course!"
"Ethan, sweetheart, what do you think of the beach? Do you like it?"
"It's amazing! It's so beautiful! | wish we could live here all the time!"
"Hmm... There's a season when it's not that nice," Serenity said, thinking back to the summer.
"Hmm... I'd still like to live here all the time."
"Maybe someday we could, but | think you'll need to grow up a bit more first," Alden said, hugging his son.
"Well... But next vacation we have to cback here."
"Alright! When | was a little girl, I loved it too. But sometimes it got so hot | couldn't even go outside, so my mom
and dad decided it was better to live in Hesperia."
"You lived here?"
"Yes, when | was a kid. My dad loved the beach, so we lived here."
"Well, well... Let's head home. Besides, right now Mommy can't live at the beach, remember she's studying at
the university. We can plan to live here when she finishes her degree. What do you think?"
"Yes!!! I'd love that! And Isabelle will be bigger by then too."
"Alright, let's go home. They're probably waiting for us..." said Serenity, taking Ethan's hand.

"Mom! We're back!" Serenity called out as they walked in.
"Yes, sweetheart, we're in the dining room. Go wash up and let's eat..."
