My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 915

Maximus drove to Magnus’ house. As he stepped out of the car, he carried the urn containing Leonardo’s ashes. Fortunately, the others were out, allowing him to enter quietly and go straight to his room without having to explain what he was carrying.

His gaze shifted to the pages in front of him. His hands tightened around the letter as he began to read. The truth was right there, waiting for him in Leonardo’s words.
