My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1004

Outside the room where Alden and Peter spoke, Maximus and Magnus stood together, discussing what would happen after the wedding.

“Have you decided what you’re going to do about Paul and his real father?” Magnus asked, his tone filled with

concern.

“Yes. I talked it over with Lucius and Laura, and we all agreed that keeping the truth from him would only make things worse.

“After Serenity’s wedding, I’ll set a date to tell Paul everything and let him decide what he wants to do. I know he’s still young, but I want him to feel free to make the best choice for himself.”
