My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 0407 

“How can you be at peace knowing she carried your daughter?” 

“That’s why I initially looked for her, but when I realized she was with Marcus, and that he was my best friend, I couldn’t do anything but let her go.” 

“But was she your daughter?” 

“Correction, that girl is yours, and you know it!” 

“But at that time, we didn’t know. How could you stay so calm?” 

“I wasn’t calm. I investigated, I learned that she was alone for almost three years. Marcus found her–or they found each other during that time. After that, he cared for my daughter as if she were his own, until he fell in love with my wife. By the time I woke up, they had already been married for two years. Do you think it would have been fair for me to show up and change everything?” 

“I suppose.” 

“No, Maximus! That would have been terrible! Besides, I can’t pull her back to me. I’m a blank slate, I have nothing to remember. I’ve seen her from afar and feel nothing for her. Do you think I’d be capable of taking her from my best friend just because she was mine at some point in our lives? 

“But you two loved each other… I know! From the way she talks about you… 

“But that’s the past, Maximus. You have to learn to let go. Alden’s mother loved me too, but I didn’t tell her I was alive. She needs to keep living her life. I have nothing to offer. I’m fine on my own. I lived what I needed to live, and I don’t regret anything.” 

“Listen to me well! I don’t regret anything.” 

“So, I ask you, as sincerely as possible, don’t tell anyone about this. Only you and I know about this…” 

“But what if I don’t want to turn the page? What if I want to keep seeing you?” 

“As long as you promise that neither Marcus nor Mary will ever know about me, I don’t see a problem. We can meet, talk, and have a drink together now and then, but nothing more…” 

Maximus realized that his brother was completely unwilling to let anyone know about his existence. He didn’t want to argue about it any further. In his mind, he thought that maybe, over time, he could make Peter forget about this and decide to make his existence public. 

“Alright, this has taken us almost the whole day and several coffees. I really need to eat something. Do you want to eat here or somewhere else? They make delicious burgers here…” 

“We can stay here. Besides, we only have a couple of hours before we go pick up the kids. By the way, you have a son who looks so much like you, and your son is a carbon copy of you, except for the gray eyes. Those were Catherine’s.”
