My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 882

[Meanwhile in the UAE]

"Mr. Theodore Bennett, we have prepared your will exactly as you requested. It will only take effect upon your passing, as per your instructions," said a mysterious lawyer.

"Very good. He will be protected for life, right?"

"That’s correct."

"Does he know who I am?"

"No, sir… He only knows that someone has funded his education. But he insists on meeting you. If you’d like, we can arrange a meeting without his mother present…"

"I’m sure she wouldn’t remember me anyway…"

"You think so?"

"The boy is her spitting image…"

"I don’t want to show up and disrupt his life. Whatever happened back then is in the past. I just want to make sure he’s safe and that he never lacks anything. If she never had the courage to tell me anything, she must have had her reasons, don’t you think?"

"Perhaps… but I can see the inner struggle you're going through. That’s why I’m offering you the chance to meet him—not as who you truly are, but as the man you are to all the children you care for."

"Funny… I used to make fun of Peter, and now I’ve ended up worse than him."
