My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 843

Chapter 0843

After a series of complaints from a dazed and frustrated Peter, Marcus couldn’t stay in the room any longer. He had listened to every argument Peter made about his situation, and frankly, it was starting to annoy him. Marcus didn’t know Celeste very well, but Peter wasn’t wrong about one thing–she wasn’t the type of woman he would usually go for. Then again, neither was Mary.

“Peter, I have to go home. My family is waiting for ine. But ask you one thing–talk to your brother, your son, and your fiancée. Each of them holds a piece of the puzzle. Think things through carefully. You need them to recover.”

“I’ll do my best, Marcus…” Peter said, staring out the window.

Marcus stood up from the chair beside Peter’s bed, but before he could leave, Peter grabbed his wrist.

“Marcus, can I meet your wife?”

“What?”

“I want to see the woman who was supposed to be my wife. The one I was ready to raise a child for, even though it wasn’t mine.”

“Peter! Jesus! I didn’t think you’d be this exhausting in this state,” Marcus said, irritated and uncomfortable.

“Just show me your wife,” Peter insisted, not letting go of his friend.

With a sigh, Marcus pulled out his phone, turned on the lock screen, and held it up for Peter to see. His friend’s face didn’t change at all.

“Huh. That’s strange. I wonder what I saw in her… and in the woman I was going to marry,” Peter muttered, thinking Marcus wouldn’t hear.

“I don’t know, Peter! But you’d better keep those thoughts to yourself and start accepting your reality.”

Peter took a deep breath and let it out in a long sigh before leaning back against the pillows.

“Can you ask Maximus to come in?”

“Yeah.”

“Thanks.”

Marcus left the room, his expression tense. More than anyone, he understood what this conversation meant. Peter wasn’t an easy man, and it was clear he wouldn’t make things easy for anyone.

What worried him most, though, was what Peter might say or do to Celeste.
