Chapter 1051

"I want to know-who was she? What happened to her? How did you two end up separating? Didn't she love you?" Paul asked, full of curiosity.

"Paul, maybe I could tell you how I met your mother instead..." Maximus said, uncomfortable just thinking about that distant past.

"No! I want to know about the woman whose heart you broke... Please," Paul insisted, refusing to let him change the subject.

"Do you enjoy hearing about other people's pain?" Maximus asked, raising an eyebrow at his persistence.

"I just want to know. It helps me not think about what I saw..."

"Paul, that's a very convincing excuse, but I don't want you to follow my example."

"Dad, I know you messed up, but look at you now-you have a good woman by your side."

"Diana?"

"Yeah. I like her. Besides, I'm sure you and Mom didn't love each other anymore," Paul said with confidence.

"Paul, I will always love your mother. She brought you into this world, she gave birth to your siblings-how could I not love her?" Maximus said, surprised by his son's assumption.

"But you two were always fighting."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I didn't love her. Sometimes, as adults, life moves so fast that we become harsh and impatient. I think that's what happened between your mother and me."

"Aha...! But still, you had a lot of women," Paul said as if it were nothing.

"Paul!" Maximus shouted, shocked.

"What? I'm not saying anything that isn't true, am I?"

Maximus sighed in resignation. There was no point in ignoring it now. He sat down.
