Chapter 1128

These days while Maximus and Diana were away from home, a few things were shifting-one of them was Laura. She watched, though cautiously, how Adrian came by every afternoon after work to visit Adele.

Before the sun went down, Adrian would take a walk with his daughter, who was already walking and had grown to love it.

Adrian might've been exhausted, but the afternoons belonged to his daughter. By the end of it, this man in an elegant suit would end up with messy hair, a wrinkled suit, his shirt untucked or stained with dirt and grass.

If Laura looked closely, the man in front of her was no longer a boy. He was someone who had slowly matured and was stepping up to take responsibility for his daughter.

He always promised to come back the next day. It was unbelievable, but Adele couldn't settle down anymore unless she saw her dad. The same went for Laura, though it was hard for her to admit.
