Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 324

Max thought for a moment before replying, "As you wish."

I knew he wasn't happy about it, but he would always stand behind me, ready to catch any ball I threw his way.

I slept soundly through the night. When I woke up, I heard Garrett arguing with Max outside. "You're leaving again, leaving me all alone! No, I'm going with you this time. I don't like this country. You can have your own country to yourself."

Max's voice was much deeper, tinged with an authoritative tone. "What, have you forgotten what you promised?"

"I haven't forgotten. But mother's revenge is complete. You were supposed to come back and take over this position. Uncle Babur might seem like he's on our side, but his motive is clear. He wants mother's ashes so he can be buried with her. Are you really going to give them to him?"

Silence from Max's side.

"I know you've been pulling the strings behind the scenes all these years, which is why Uncle Babur can't pull anything. He doesn't even dare to make a move. But what about me? I have my own dreams, my own ambitions," Garrett said, his voice growing more and more aggrieved, almost on the verge of tears.

I could almost picture a face identical to Max's, crying while talking to him. The thought was strangely comical.

"What dreams? Being a poet? After copying so many poems, you still haven't produced any masterpieces. If you have too much free time, I'll have someone enroll you in royal administration courses."

Max's ruthless shutdown left Garrett speechless.

"Silas, I hate you," Garrett declared angrily before storming off. Only then did I step out of the room.

"He seems genuinely hurt."

"He needs to learn to grow up." Max looked down, rubbing the ring on his finger.

At some point, he had put his ring back on. I glanced at my own hand and saw that mine was on as well.

Max had always been a man of action, not words.

His dynamic with Garrett was likely his way of teaching his brother not to rely on anyone but himself—to either achieve his dreams or bear the country's responsibility.
