My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 926

Maximus pulled out his phone and called Magnus, asking him to bring Aria. His father was confident everything would go well, so he had already set off. He was bringing all three guests with him since Danielle, still somewhat distrustful, refused to leave the woman who had been by her side for nearly ten years and whom she had come to see as a mother.

“Aria, it’s time for you to finally meet your son. His name is Peter Palmer,” Magnus said, anticipating that his son might have forgotten to mention it.

Aria felt like her knees were about to give out. Suddenly, she was dizzy, clutching the seat for support. Her heart pounded furiously—48 years without her son, 48 years without knowing him. That was a long time. Panic started to creep in.

“What if he doesn’t accept me? What if he blames me for everything? What if he only wants to see me to meet the woman who abandoned him?” she asked, overwhelmed by doubt.

“Aria, dear! Calm down. You’re here now. You made it. Now, take a deep breath and get out of this car with the same determination you had when you left town, with the same courage you had when you decided to follow Maximus. You’re going to go in there and meet Peter. Got it? We didn’t come all this way for you to back out now,” Danielle reassured her, trying to encourage her.

“Yes, Grandma Aria! You’re really good with kids. I’m sure he’ll love you. He has to love you,” Ellie chimed in.

In her mind, Ellie still imagined Peter as a child, a little boy. She couldn’t comprehend that the child in question was actually a 48-year-old man.

“Alright, ladies, they just opened the door. There’s no turning back now,” Magnus announced.

“No, Mr. Magnus, there’s no turning back,” Danielle agreed. “Aria’s just nervous, but we’re here, and we’re not leaving. Right, Aria?”

“Y-yes… I’m not running away,” Aria said, her voice a mix of fear and nerves.

Meanwhile, Peter was pacing back and forth like a caged lion, moving from one side of his study to the other.

“Why are they taking so long?” he asked, frustrated.

“Peter, relax. It’s only been fifteen minutes. They’re coming from the center of Valeria.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Peter immediately rushed over and flung it open, startling the person on the other side.
