Chapter 1055

After breakfast, where Maximus, Lucius, and Laura just stared at each other, waiting to see what would happen, Maximus decided he'd spend the day with Paul. He wanted to take him out for a bit. Maurice tried to tag along, but Laura and Lucius kept him distracted.

"Dad, where are we going?" Paul asked, curious.

"Hmm? No idea. I just want to talk with you. There are two things I want us to chat about."

"What things?" Paul asked again, not quite getting what his dad meant.

"Well... The first and most important one-You know I love you, right?"

"Yes, Dad! I love you too, but... what's all this about?"

"Oh, I know! Let's go to the lookout point!" Maximus said, remembering it was an open spot, perfect for a heart-to-heart. "I want to have a man-to-man talk with you," he said sincerely.

"Really? Why?" Paul asked, surprised.

"Hey, do you want anything from the store?"

"A soda?"

"Alright, first store we see, we'll stop and grab one."

As soon as they saw a little shop, father and son hopped out to get sodas and some snacks.

"What's up, Dad? You seem kinda off today," Paul asked, a bit thrown off by his dad's mood.

"Hey... how've you been these past few days?"

"Great, Dad! Really great, I'd say..." he answered honestly.
