Chapter 1072

After finally finishing all the paperwork and preparations for the creation of PBE Group, Maximus and Peter drove from Florentia to Valeria. Both men were determined to get there—after all, their daughter, so to speak, had just given birth, and it was essential to meet the family's first granddaughter.

"What have you decided about Paul?" Peter asked, curious.

"Mmm... What can I say? I still haven't really made up my mind, and Paul hasn't shown any interest in meeting Pierre. We talked, yeah, but it all kind of ended up in the air."

"Don't let more time pass. Stuff like that doesn't just go away. Pretending it's nothing just because you're not talking about it won't fix it. Time does pass, and that's what gets lost. Set a date and let whatever's going to happen, happen."

"Since when did you get so wise?"

"Do you remember I have a son-who also happens to be your son-in-law now?" "Yeah, but if I remember right, you don't remember much of anything..."

"Well, let's just say age has made me wiser..."

"Aha! More like Celeste is the one giving you all the advice..."

"Well, a bit, yeah. But trust me—it's worth listening to them. They've got this sixth sense... If they say something's going to fall or happen, it will happen."

"It's already happened to me a few times, and now with the twins, I've got to be extra alert."

"Hey... since it's just the two of us, can I ask you something?" Maximus said, curiosity in his voice.

"Go ahead..."

"What do you think of Valerie-Mary-or whatever you call her?" Maximus asked, genuinely curious.

"What do I think of what?" Peter asked, not quite following.

"Well, I know you don't remember anything, but with everything you've been hearing lately... doesn't any of it stir something inside you?"

"Alright... You want the truth?"

"Yeah, tell me."
