Chapter 0798 

“You did a great job as a father too. Alden turned out to be a good man, and let’s not forget your grandson, little Ethan.” 

“Alden is who he is because of his mother. I’ve only been helping shape him for the past five years. He’s a good kid thanks to everything his mother taught him. He’s good in business because of me and Theodore, but his personality that comes from his mom. As for little Ethan he’s been my second chance at fatherhood. He’s my way of making up for the years I wasn’t there for Alden. I just hope I’m doing a good job.” 

“That kid is amazing. Did you know he’s John’s best friend?” 

“I know. Fate loves playing with us, doesn’t it?” 

“Yeah, but they’re innocent. I just hope that as they grow, they become good men who will never have to resort to the things we did.” 

“Hopefully. I just want this ugly story to end with Frank Levett and Leonardo Palmer in prison. 

“How did you find Anthony Moriarty?” 

“Magnus introduced me to him… How I met Magnus is a long story, but that’s not important. That’s a story for Maximus-his son.” 

“I still can’t get used to seeing him as an Evans.” 

“Well, it’s better than being a Palmer, don’t you think?” 

“Peter, you think this is the last time we’ll see each other, don’t you?” 

Marcus looked surprised at that statement and said, “I don’t see why it has to be.” 

“Well, I do. You’re Mary’s husband. No matter what, that would be uncomfortable–not for you, not for me, but after everything that happened, it would be for Mary. I have a past with her, and it’s best to leave it there. We were best friends, you were like my older brother. I remember when you taught me how to shoot or how to fight. It wasn’t easy, but do you remember what you told me back then?” 

“Yeah…” 

“What was it?” 

“It looks hard now, but over time, it’ll become second nature. It’ll be part of your routine, and you’ll miss it if you stop. So enjoy learning it… If you learn it well, you’ll never forget it, even if years go by.”

“Exactly! I learned, and I was the best. I was your best man, and you were proud of that. You even gave me a car- my favorite one, by the way. Marcus, you taught me how to live. My life became an extension of what you me. I no longer felt out of place in the world–I enjoyed it, and I never forgot it.” 

“Peter, I feel guilty for what happened to you. I should have never pulled you into that life…” 

“You didn’t put a gun to my head. I chose that life. You were my friend, and I never questioned what we did, so I’m not going to start questioning it now.” 

“But Peter, you were so young and alone…” 

“Marcus, stop it already. Let go of the guilt. Do you get it now? This is why we shouldn’t see each other again.” 

“But Peter, I…” 

“You gave me the chance to build a better life. What we did it’s in the past, so let it go. Forget about me. Forget
