Chapter 1008

Once Diana and the kids disappeared from the room, the others continued with dinner. Maximus didn’t miss the opportunity to tell Laura and Lucius that he wanted to speak with them privately after they finished eating.

“Miss Hayward, would you be so kind as to accompany this poor old man for a drink?” Magnus said as he stood up.

“Oh! Of course!” Amanda replied, quickly picking up on the hint and getting up as well.

“So, tell me, how did a beautiful young woman like yourself decide to become a lawyer?” Magnus asked as they walked away.

Once only Laura, Lucius, Adele, and Maximus remained at the table, Laura stood up.

“I’m going to put Adele to bed–she’s already sleepy. I’ll meet you both in the study, I won’t take long,” she said, lifting Adele from her high chair.

The two men nodded, then stood up and headed to the study.

“How have you been feeling here, Lucius?” Maximus asked, genuinely curious. “I hope it’s been good. Your siblings are happy to have you around.”

“It’s been… okay. A little strange, though,” Lucius admitted. “Can I ask you something?” He hesitated, a bît embarrassed but curious.

“Of course. What is it?” Maximus asked as he took his last bites of food.

“You and Diana… since when?”

“Since when are we together?” Maximus helped him finish the question.

“Yeah…”
