My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1047

[Present Time]

Adrian replayed the conversation in his mind, but there wasn't much to consider. The offer was tempting-anyone in his position would see it as the perfect deal. But he already knew what he truly wanted: his daughter.

He had made the mistake once before-choosing what his school, his family, and society expected of him over someone who had something far more valuable to offer. This time, even if the future was uncertain, he would choose his daughter, no matter what came with it.

Far from the family drama that would inevitably change Laura Evans's life, she, Lucius, and Maximus arrived at the café where they were supposed to meet Pierre.

The place was warm and inviting, with a reserved table set discreetly in the

corner.

Laura's emotions were all over the place. She knew this meeting would set off a chain reaction that would shape the future.

"Come on, sweetheart, everything will be fine. You'll see," Maximus reassured her.

He took her hand, feeling her nervousness through her grip. In response, he squeezed it gently, silently promising that no matter what happened, he would be there.
