My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1056

Maximus watches his son closely, not knowing where to begin. How do you tell your son... that he's not really your son?

"Paul... you know I love you, right?" Maximus asks cautiously.

"Dad... for the second time, yes, I know. And I love you a lot too. But... what is it you wanted to tell me?"

"Paul, as you might've figured out by now, your mother and I weren't exactly the most responsible people in the world.

"Your mom made mistakes, I made mistakes... that's just life. What matters is owning up to them and moving forward.

"When I say I love you, I don't mean it in some empty way, like when you're trying to impress a girl. You're my son, and I love you because of that. I saw you being born, I watched you grow, and even if I wasn't always right there with you, I tried to stay close and see you grow."

Maximus took a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh. His stomach twisted, and he knew he couldn't put it off any longer.

"Paul, I loved your mother in many different ways, no matter how difficult she could be because let's be honest, she wasn't the easiest person-but still, I loved her, so much that I didn't think about the consequences of my actions.

"But sometimes, something happens-a fight, an event-that sets things off in ways we don't want. Your mother and I argued from time to time, and I know you kids witnessed that. That didn't mean I didn't love her, and it didn't mean she didn't love me.

"One day, your mother and I had a fight. She left for a while. I'm not justifying it, but she thought our marriage was over.
