My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 985

Marcus looked at his daughter and couldn’t help but hug her. Without her noticing, he wiped away a tear of nostalgia.

"Hey, Dad?"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Do you and Mom really want to go back to Hesperia?"

"Hmm? The truth is, this country is beautiful, but just like there are good things, there are bad ones too. My past, your mother’s past—those are things that will always hurt, even if we don’t talk about them all the time."

"I see…"

"Have you and Alden talked about where you’ll live once you’re married?"

"Well, he told me that wherever I choose is fine. He can work from anywhere, though he did say he’ll still need to meet with his father and Theodore sometimes. Did you know Theodore has a family?"

"Theodore?! That grumpy, sour old man? No way!"

"Yep. I haven’t been home much, so I haven’t seen him, but Alden has been showing Adam—Theodore’s son—around the city. Apparently, the kid is almost the same age as Alden. And get this—Theodore just got married! Alden said his wife is very young and beautiful."

"Wow! That’s some news—I did not see that coming…"

"Neither did the whole thing with Camille and Frederick."

"Who told you?"

"No one… I saw them. Mom kind of let it slip yesterday, but honestly, I’ve known for a few months now."

"Serenity, Frederick and Camille haven’t been around much, which means you’ve probably known for almost a year."

"Well… yeah. But discretion is key. You know how they both are."
