Maximus smiled. “Of course. I’ll just check on your brothers and be right back. Later, Alden’s coming over–1 need to go over something with him. When he gets here, I’ll step into the study for a bit, okay?”

The acid reflux was unbearable, so he took something for it and headed to the kitchen, where the aroma of pancakes filled the air. Without hesitation, he grabbed one and started eating.

“I didn’t eat anything yesterday. Then Laura got sick, and only just got back,” Maximus said, his face weary.
