My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 1154

After Amanda's death, many lives were shaken in one way or another. For Peter, the wedding had to be postponed. For Laura, the entire ordeal became a

revelation-it showed just how committed Adrian was to their relationship and to the family that had welcomed him.

Amid all this, Maximus was keeping an eye on Lucius, even though the latter had started isolating himself. Diana's pregnancy added another layer of stress, causing Maximus to unintentionally neglect his younger sons. While the boys understood the situation, they still felt the sting of his absence.

That's when Adrian, stepping into a role he'd never imagined for himself, took it upon himself to be there for the boys. He guided them in his own way-especially when he noticed Paul was beginning to drift, focusing more on girls than on school.

Seeing how much recent events had impacted Paul's behavior, Adrian sat him down for a serious talk. Looking at the boys was like looking into his past. Even though his family had never split-because in their world, scandal was to be avoided at all costs-he still bore the scars of all the issues between his parents.

So, he couldn't help but reach out to the two brothers.

"Your dad loves you... Things aren't great right now, but he loves you more than anything. Just be patient, it'll settle down eventually," Adrian said gently.

"Dad's all about Diana now. He's already moved on... He doesn't care about us anymore," Maurice said sadly.

"It's not that he doesn't love you. Come on, sit down," Adrian said as he poured three glasses of chocolate milk. "Your dad worries about you—that's why he takes care of everything."

"It sure doesn't seem like it," Paul said firmly.

"How can you say that? Look around you-you live in a huge house, you've got food, a roof over your head. What do you think would happen if that suddenly disappeared?"
