Chapter 1050

[Months Ago, The Maldives]

"Come on, Dad! Hurry up...!" Paul said as they arrived at the airport and his father made his way through customs.

"Paul, wait, just let me sign this and we'll go. If that girl's already waited this long, I'm sure she can wait a few more minutes..." Maximus replied, rushing to catch up with his son.

Maximus and Paul were staying on the same cluster of islands where Alden had rented out an entire villa for their trip.

Paul didn't wait for his dad. He just dropped his bags in the room and headed straight out to meet Nadia.

Maximus, with no other choice, decided to change clothes because of the heat. Between changing and heading out to look for his son, he quickly found him sitting in the lounge.

"Paul? What are you doing here?" his dad asked, puzzled.

"Leave me alone, Dad..." Paul said, staring into space.

What caught Maximus's eye was the glass in Paul's hand.

"Paul! What the hell are you doing? You're not old enough to be drinking. Since when do you drink?"

"Since today, dammit!" Paul snapped.

"Watch your language, Paul! You're not talking to just anyone I'm your father. Now tell me, what happened?" Maximus said, caught off guard by his son's attitude.
