However, Max didn't expect his brother to say he wasn't upset about this at all.
It was a great course for Kevin to inherit the family business and make it great as ever.
However, in Max's opinion, it was like a kind of shackles.
He was not interested in the family business.
There was a time when he was forced by his father to work at the company. At that time, he just felt on pins and needles as if he was dying day by day.
He never liked these, not those cold numbers on the business list.
What he liked were the universe and astronomy.
His dream was to build an unprecedented space station so that more scientists and physicists could explore the mysteries of the universe in space.
He found the universe fascinating and he wanted to know everything about it.
But he certainly had invested in many businesses other than this.
And he invested most of those businesses along with Archie or Kevin.
He did not care much and was not very interested. He only knew that those businesses were profitable.
So Max was kinda like an idle brat in the eyes of outsiders.
He only focused on working on his equipment and working with some scientists, throwing his whole career away - because obviously making money and doing business was the only right thing to do in the eyes of others.
However, Max did not care what others said.
In his opinion, nothing else mattered as long as he liked doing it and had fun.
Now in the study, he was actually looking at the latest drawing of a space station sent to him by a physicist.
As he was focusing on the sketch, somebody was knocking on the door of the room.
He said, "Come in", and then saw Laura walk in.
"It's late. Why are you still here?"
Laura asked.
Max looked up from his computer and waved at her with a smile.
"Come over and take a look."
Laura walked over with raised eyebrows and curiosity. Then she saw an odd drawing on the computer screen.
She couldn't help but frown, "What is this?"
"This is a model of a spacecraft. Here is a cooling chamber, where people could be put in so that they would fall in hibernation with the help of top-secret technology."
Laura froze and turned her head to look at him in surprise.
"Hibernation?"
"Yes." Max looked excited.
"It's like animals. Aren't there many animals that hibernate in the winter? People can do that too in the future, which would allow people to accomplish more in a limited lifetime."
Laura couldn't help but laugh at his words.
"So that's what you've been working on."
Max smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, he pulled Laura over and picked her up in his arms.
Laura was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
Max laughed lightly, "When this model is built, we'll name it after our first baby. What do you say?"
Laura was stunned for a moment.
She wondered why he could change the topic all of a sudden.
After a while, she couldn't help but laugh at him, "Would you be thinking too much? We just got married. How could we have a baby so soon?"
However, Max's expression instantly became serious.
"What do you mean so soon? Look at Archie and Charlie. They all have sons, and I deserve one too! No way! I'm gonna have a baby."
Laura couldn't help laugh at his childish look.
However, her sense led her to slap his hand, "Cut it out! This isn't a joke. We're not ready for a baby."
Hearing her words, Max got serious all of a sudden.
He picked her up and headed to the bedroom.
