My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1097

Just like Serenity had said, Laura had a lot to think about-and how she should think about it too, now that the father of her daughter was working for the newly created company of her father, her uncle, and her uncle's friend.

One afternoon, when Laura went to see her father, she stumbled upon the news that Adrian was now working closely with her grandfather Magnus.

Magnus, with infinite patience, was explaining the finer points of a contract, while the young man listened carefully and took notes, offering his opinions from time to time.

Laura, watching him, was surprised. A few months ago, when she had last seen him, Adrian had looked a mess. But now he looked much better-still using a cane, yes, but far more focused and committed to his work.

"Laura darling! My girl! How are you? Come in, come in. I was just reviewing the details for the closing of a contract with a mining company," Magnus said, noticing her at the door. "Adrian, come on, boy-take this over to the governor's office. Once that's signed, everything will be set, and we can start operations."

"Yes, Mr. Evans! Uh... Laura! Hi!" Adrian said, nervously catching sight of her. "Hi, Adrian..." Laura responded shyly.

"With your permission, Mr. Evans," Adrian said before quickly leaving the office. After watching the young man leave, Magnus turned back to his granddaughter, catching something in her eyes he knew all too well.

"My dear... Laura? My girl!" he called, raising his voice a little.

"Oh! Sorry, Grandpa, what were you saying?"
