Chapter 0870 Maximus was going through his tasks on the computer. Now that Peter had

woken up without his memories, he, Theodore, and Alden had taken charge of Peter's many businesses. It was incredible how his brother had built such a vast empire.

Ironically, Maximus was now, in a way, working for his own brother. But he didn't mind. He had everything he could ever want a wise father, wonderful children, and a granddaughter who took up as much of his time as possible. Not to mention a good woman by his side, supporting him through thick and thin.

Maximus couldn't be happier with the life he had now. His children were slowly adjusting to their new home. It wasn't the mansion he had originally planned to spend his days in, but this place had truly become a home.

He was lost in thought when Laura walked into his study.

"Dad... Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Of course, sweetheart! What's on your mind?"

"Well... Now that we're back in Valentia, I've been thinking a lot. You know I'm a single mother. I'm not a little girl anymore, Dad. I have a huge responsibility now. And honestly, Adele and I have been taking advantage of you and Alden." Laura's tone was firm.

"What? What do you mean?" Maximus asked, adjusting in his chair, bracing for the worst.

"Dad, I want to work. You work so hard to make sure we have everything, but if I'm being honest, it shouldn't be your responsibility to take care of me or my daughter anymore. I know you do it out of love, but I want to earn my own money." Laura spoke with complete sincerity.

Maximus was stunned. But he liked what he was hearing. He let out a relieved sigh, realizing this wasn't bad news. He had grown so used to dealing with bad news that he was almost expecting it.
