My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 669

Chapter 0669 

“So many things have happened, Maximus. There are times when I feel like I can’t go on….” 

“I know you still haven’t healed from the ghosts of your past, from your childhood, your adolescence. I know there are wounds that are still open from your father, even from me, but you have to make an effort to free yourself from all of it. You must do it for them, for those who need you more than you realize…” 

“Do you remember the first time we were together?” 

“Maximus, that was a long time ago, and I don’t want to go into details…” 

“But I do, Mary! I never had the chance to tell you, but… That night, while you were sleeping, I said something I couldn’t fulfill. I still remember playing with your blonde hair, seeing how beautiful you looked asleep, and I couldn’t believe you were there with me, in my arms… Without thinking, I remember what I said: ‘I promise to love you. Only until I have to say goodbye.‘ When I said it, I was thinking that when we were old, we would have to say goodbye… I saw a future with you that night…‘ 

“Stop t 

talking nonsense! You had Alexia!” 

“It wasn’t nonsense… Did you ever ask yourself why I chose you? Why I wanted to marry you? Why didn’t I choose another woman? One who would be willing to sign a contract and leave me when Catherine died, one who could do whatever she wanted, and I wouldn’t care… 

“Well, it would have been easier, but I really liked you. I ruined it and ended up hurting you so much that it wasn’t until Peter supposedly died–the only time I considered finding you, throwing everything away, and coming back 

to you. 

“I wanted to take care of you, I wanted to protect you, but it was too late… I never found you! Then I found out why, but now, in this moment, I think it was for the best. You and I, we had our time, it didn’t work out, I ruined it, so I stepped aside. 

“Do you remember our fateful honeymoon in Santorini? When you almost cheated on me with that young man your age? You didn’t see it, but I cried, I cried bitterly because that was when I realized that you, you, would never look at me the same way again.” 

“Maximus…L…” 

“Mary, I’m not telling you this for you to feel guilty or to come back to me. I’m telling you this because I want you to think about something. We all, absolutely all of us, have a past. We have things we don’t tell, we carry that huge weight on our backs alone. No one knows our suffering, and sometimes, that leads to things like this. 

“You can’t judge Marcus for something you don’t know. You weren’t in his past, just as I wasn’t in your present. And even so, when I saw you again, I knew there’s a part of you that I carry inside. At some point, when you talk to him, you’ll surely be able to clear things up. In the meantime, focus on healing and taking care of your little ones. Don’t push them aside, make them your motivation to get through this.” 

Maximus was sitting on the edge of Mary’s bed. He took her chin and slowly leahed in dangerously close to her face. Ata moment she didn’t expect, he planted a kiss on her forehead, and with his hand, he drew her head towards his chest. 

“You’ll be fine! You’ve been through so much, and you’re still here. You’re strong, and you know it! This is just temporary, soon you won’t feel like this. You’ll be surrounded by your family, you’ll be in your home…” 

After that, Maximus got up from the bed, smiled, and said, “I have to go, but I’ll be here for anything you need…
