After seeing Laura’s reaction, Maximus approached his daughter, hugged her, and said, “Sweetheart, I know things look bad. I know what you just found out is shocking but I don’t want you putting yourself in harm’s way unnecessarily.”

“No, Dad. We’re talking about my brother. Before anything else, I want to meet Paul’s supposed father. I want to see him, look him in the eye, and find out who the hell this man is the one who’s about to turn our world upside down.”

“Sweetheart…”

“Yes, Dad, because Paul is mature, but no matter what, his whole world–and ours–is about to change. I agree that it’s his right to know him and spend time with him, but first, I want to see what kind of man he is.”

“There’s nothing I can say to change your mind, is there?”

“No, Dad… After my sister’s wedding, we have to act.”

Lucius could only watch as his little sister–the one he hadn’t seen in over a year–was no longer the shy girl he remembered. She had become a strong, determined woman.

“Well, that’s settled then! Maximus, after the wedding, we’ll meet with the man, do a paternity test, and then figure out how to break this complicated news to Paul.”

Maximus saw how his son summed up everything that was about to happen–few words, but a storm of emotions.

“Alright, that’s what we’ll do…”

After that, Lucius and Laura left the study, leaving Maximus behind. A short while later, Magnus joined him.

“How did it go?” Magnus asked, approaching his son slowly.

“Good… I guess good. My kids are worried…” Maximus said, turning to look at his father.

“Everything will be fine. I’ve seen Paul–he’s a good kid. A bit of a flirt, but honestly, who wouldn’t be with that face?”

“That’s actually something that worries me too… We haven’t had a chance to talk about what happened since we got back from the Maldives.”

“Whatever happened, it was just a moment. Paul is who he is, whether that girl is in his life or not. What you need to tell him is that right now, he may feel like he’s in a candy shop, but one day, he’ll find the perfect sweet–the one he’ll taste and never let go of.

“Just like Lucius, I predict a great future between him and the Hayward girl.”

“You think so?”

“Yes… The girl has character, and let’s be honest, your son does too. He needs someone like that. A sweet girl would only suffer with him. The Hayward girl might even tell you he intimidates her.”
