My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

"Well, well, but let's get back to this moment-it's your son's day, and your daughter-in-law's," Diana said with a warm smile.

"That sounds kind of strange, don't you think?" Maximus replied calmly.

"What does?" Diana asked curiously.

"That I now officially have both a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law..."

"Well, just wait-Laurita's not far behind. Adrian's been so patient with her, taking

his time to win her over," Diana said, glancing in their direction.

"You really think those two will end up together?" Maximus asked, clearly concerned.

"I do. Laura just wants to take it slow. She rushed once before and it didn't go well. Now she just wants to be careful, and Adrian understands that. He seems like a good guy," Diana answered gently.

"Diana, love, you talk like you're way older than them—and you're only five years older," Maximus said with a teasing smile.

"Five years full of life experience, don't forget," she replied playfully.

"My love," Maximus murmured sweetly, brushing a hand across her cheek.

"Come on, let's keep watching our happy couple enjoy their day," Diana said proudly.

"You'll have your day too, sweetheart..."

"I know, Maximus. I know."
