My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0925

When Maximus hugged his daughter, he felt something strange–the warmth of her body, the small bump of her belly. Seeing his 21–year–old daughter pregnant made himmagine what it must have been like for Peter’s mother -the fear she must have felt, the loss, everything… All of reminded him why he was there.

“My girl, I’m going to see Peter. I need to talk to him about something. Can you help Emma take care of the little ones?”

“Of course, Dad! No problem.”

“Thanks…”

Serenity and Maximus walked toward the backyard and ran into Chester on the way out. The man looked at his brother, who seemed to be glowing, as if he had regained a few years of his youth. There was no doubt–Peter truly needed this, he needed to experience what he was living now. Meeting Aria would complete the equation.

“Peter…” Maximus said nervously.

“Maximus! What a surprise! You didn’t tell me you were coming,” Peter said, rocking his daughter in his arms.

“No, I just got here… How are the girls?” Maximus asked as he approached the baby in his brother’s arms.

“Bigger and stronger every day… Their mom, though–she’s exhausted. These little ones eat like crazy. Celeste looks thinner every day, but she refuses to give them formula.”

“They’re her first babies. She must be over the moon.”

“Oh, she is, believe me. Sometimes she’s like a mother hen, but other times… she’s more like a dragon. Right, Emma?”

Emma shook her head in denial but couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

“She’s just being a mom. Of course, she wants to protect and take care of her babies.”

“Speaking of which… That brings me to the reason I’m here,” Maximus said, steering the conversation back to the real issue. “Peter, can we talk?”

“Sure, tell me,” Peter said, still rocking Flora.

“I’d like to talk in private.”

“Oh? Must be serious… You’re asking me to leave my girls? Why?”

“It’s complicated… I have something to show you,” Maximus admitted, unsure where to start.

“Alright…” Peter kissed his daughter’s rosy cheek before gently placing her in her carrier. “Emma, can you watch the girls?”
