My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 998 [Evans' residence] +25 BONUS Maximus drove hafter dropping his daughter off. He was exhausted. As soon as he arrived, he parked in the driveway. His father, Magnus, was watching from the living room and immediately noticed that Maximus looked stressed or irritated.

"Maximus..." he called out from the couch.

"Hey, Dad. What's up?" Maximus asked, carefully controlling his tone.

"That's what I was going to ask you. You don't look too great... What's on your mind?" Magnus asked calmly.

"Oh, this? Just sthings I need to drop off for the Palmer and Evans girls," Maximus said as he approached and greeted his father.

"Cwithto the study. We need to talk," Magnus said sensing that his son wasn't telling him everything. Once they were in the study, Magnus poured them both a drink. He handed a glass to Maximus before taking a sip of his own.

"I think you need this," Magnus said.

"Do I really look that bad?" Maximus asked before downing his drink in one gulp.

"A little. So? What's going on?" his father asked, intrigued.

"A lot... But one thing in particular." "And that is?" "There's something I haven't told you... It's about one of my sons," Maximus said, deciding to just lay it all out.

"Who? Lucius?" "Well... I was going to tell you about that too. But no, it's not Lucius." "Then who?" "Paul." "Ah, I see! What about our blonde kid?" "Well... Paul... Paul isn't my biological son," Maximus admitted, pouring himself another drink.

Magnus barely reacted. “Hmm? And that's a problem?” he asked as if it were no big deal.

Maximus was surprised by his father's reaction.

"No, it's not a problem. I've known for a year and was hoping I'd never have to bring it up, but... his real father showed up," he said with obvious frustration.

"Hmm... And what do you plan to do?" Magnus asked, trying to understand his son's thoughts.

"You know, I've learned from our own situation. You only started treatinglike your son when I was already an adult. I handled it well because my so-called father turned out to be a piece of shit.

"But you... You were different. You spent your whole life unable to be there for me. I don't want to do the sand end up with Paul hating me," Maximus admitted, feeling guilty.

1/3 Chapter 998 +25 BONUS "So? What's the right thing to do?" "I don't know how to tell him... I think I need to talk to Laura and Lucius first. Maurice is still too young, but he'll have to know at spoint. I just want to take it slow with him.” "From what we went through, I'd say the best thing you can do is be honest. Tell Paul everything Don't try to protect your wife's image by keeping secrets. Both of you carry guilt-it's not just yours to bear," Magnus said, pulling him into a brief hug "I'm worried that his father might try to take him away from me. The guy is practically French aristocracy-his nis Pierre Legrand Bouygues. He's part of the Legrand family, which is connected to the royal family. That putsat a serious disadvantage." "All the more reason to tell Paul the truth. Maximus, you've spent your whole life trying to maintain appearances. Let your son decide for himself." "Yeah... I'll tell him after Serenity's wedding, I don't want to drop this bomb before then. Once the wedding is over, whatever happens, happens." "That sounds like a plan. Just don't stress too much. I've seen your kids, and I can tell they're all mature for their age. Paul is a responsible young man. A bit reckless when it comes to girls, but he's got a good head on his shoulders." "Reckless with girls?" "Yeah... Haven't you noticed that he's been going out more lately? Sometimes with Maurice and Adele, sometimes alone. The bodyguards toldhe's been seeing multiple girls. I guess that's just part of being his age. He's a handskid-I wouldn't be surprised if he has more than one girlfriend. But you should have a talk with him about it." "Damn... I've been so caught up in everything else that I didn't even notice." "I suppose having so many kids drives you crazy. I only have one, and even I forget sometimes." "Magnus!" "What? After spending years without you, it's still weird having to explain where I'm going or who I'm with.' "Dad... You're really not great at this whole parenting thing" П "Well, after fifty years of not being a father, suddenly having you and all your kids has been... enlightening.

"Think about it-I get to see what it's like raising a little kid with Maurice. Paul showswhat it's like to deal with a teenage playboy. Laura givesa glimpse of a young woman becoming a mother.

"And Lucius... Well, I haven't officially met him yet. I saw him earlier butl wasn't sure what to say-especially when I noticed the girl I assis his girlfriend sneaking into his room." "Amanda?" "Is that her name?" "Yeah. They met at university. I think they just started dating." "Well, let's see how that story unfolds. But I have to admit, your son has good taste. She seems like a nice girl."

"Yeah, she's really sweet. On our flight back-since Moriarty stayed behind and only the three of us m returned- she made the whole trip NO feel lighter. Apparently, her father is a famous doctor in Spain. I think her mother is Hesperian, but her father isn't. I didn't quite get all the details. What I do know is that she's hiding from him." +25 BONUS Chapter 998 "Wow... Your son sure likes complicated girls. Remindsof someone I know. And don't even try to deny it," Magnus said with a teasing grin.

"Magnus..." "It's the truth! By the way, where's Diana?” "She went to Japan. But she'll be back tomorrow." Today's Bonus Offer GET IT NOW mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
