Chapter 0951

Just as Anthony Moriarty had said, two days later at 4:50 am., Maximus arrived at Eterna–Flameco Airport.

“Maximus, I was still holding out hope that you wouldn’t show up–or at least not on time,” Moriarty said sarcastically.

“I’ve been here since 4:30 a.m. There’s no way I’d be late when it comes to one of my children,” Maximus replied seriously.

“Well, color me surprised, Mr. Palmer!” Angela said, holding Valentina in her arms. “If someone had told me Mr. Palmer would be joining us, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Maximus turned toward the voice and immediately recognized the woman. It was none other than Angela Sinclair, the only daughter of one of Valentia’s most powerful political families.

“Hello, Mrs. Moriarty,” Maximus greeted her respectfully.

“Hello, Maximus! Just call me Angela. Technically, I’m your son’s sister, and I adore him with all my heart. So I’m going to ask just one thing of you…”

Maximus was surprised by her words but chose not to ask questions–at least for now.

“Go on…” he said, still caught off guard.

“If Lucius doesn’t want to talk to you, please don’t push him. I’ve had the chance to get to know him, and he’s a good kid. I know he carries a lot on his shoulders, but he’s not a bad person. He just grew up in the wrong environment, and you, of all people, should understand that,” Angela said, her tone both firm and empathetic.

“I just want to see my son and know that he’s okay. You have a daughter–believe me, if you had more, you wouldn’t feel at ease having one far from your care,” Maximus said, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

“I know, Mr. Palmer. However, all I ask is that you don’t pressure Lucius. As I said, he’s a good kid, but sometimes, he can’t forget that he was once on the wrong side,” Angela reminded him, bringing up a not–so- distant past.

“I promise you this, Angela–if he doesn’t want to talk to me, I’ll be content just seeing him and knowing he’s alright. I won’t force anything,” Maximus said, meaning every word.
