Chapter 0063 

Mary woke up after a long nap, feeling relaxed. Peter hd been right–the lavender oil had helped soothe her. Perhaps it was the change of environment, or maybe it was having Catherine and Peter close by. She knew she had to be strong and recover quickly so she could see her grandfather again. Whatever the reason, she had slept like a baby. 

“Mary… can I come in?” Peter’s voice called from outsle the door. 

“Of course! Come in!” she replied, her volce still drowsy. 

“How’s the most beautiful woman in this house doing today?” Peter teased as he entered. 

“Peter, stop flattering her and come in already. Mary must be starving,” Catherine chimed in from behind him. 

“Oh, Grandma, don’t be jealous. Mary’s the second most beautiful woman in this house,” Peter joked as he set down a tray with a delicious breakfast. 

“Wow! This smells amazing. These are my favorite foods!” Mary exclaimed, her eyes wide with delight. 

“I told you I’d take care of you and help you recover. And the first step is to make sure you’re well–fed and happy.” 

“Peter 

got up early to prepare your breakfast,” Catherine added. “He didn’t let me touch a thing until he brought it to you, so now we can all enjoy breakfast together.” 

Leopold, the butler, appeared with a pot of coffee and cups for the three of them. For that moment, they seemed like a family–husband, wife, and mother–in–law. The atmosphere was light and cheerful as they laughed over stories from their time in Galea, more than three years ago. Peter always had a way of making Catherine and Mary laugh. The contrast between him and Maximus was stark–almost abysmal “Mrs. Catherine, your grandson is on the phone,” Leopold announced seriously. 

Catherine’s smile faded as she rose from the table. “Alright, children, continue eating. Peter, make sure this girl eats everything on her plate,” she instructed as she left the room. 

When Catherine answered the phone, her expression Hardened. “My dear Maximus, why are you only calling now? I thought that stubborn heart of yours might have started worrying about your wife by now. 

“Are you with Mary?” Maximus’s voice was tense. 

“We were just having breakfast, but I left her with Peter. He’s making sure she eats everything he made for her.” 

Maximus’s blood began to boil at the mention of his brother. Jealousy surged through him, imagining Peter gaining favor with both Catherine and Mary, especially now that his marriage was hanging by a thread. 

“I’ve looked into what you said, Grandma,” Maximus said, his voice laced with regret. 

“So, you didn’t believe me?” she responded, her voice icy.

“I needed to be sure.” 

“And now? What do you want me to do, Maximus? What’s done is done. We’re just trying to fix the mess you made.” 

“I know, Grandma. You don’t have to keep reminding me. I just wanted to let you know that, as of today, Alexia Levett is no longer with the company.” 

“Well, it’s about time,” Catherine replied sharply. “Do whatever you need to, but remember–Mary’s decision is the one I will respect. If she chooses to distance herself from you, I won’t stand in her way. In fact, I’ve already spoken with the family lawyer to explore the possibility of an amicable divorce.” 

“Grandma! You can’t decide that!” Maximus shouted, his frustration bubbling over.
