"I think we need to hear him out. My biggest concern is Paul's reaction, not talking to Pierre," Lucius replied. Maximus had a gut feeling that his son was up to something. At first, Lucius had been resistant to the idea, but now, he seemed completely at ease.
"Alright, I need to take care of a few things before we leave for the meeting," Laura said, feeling a slight unease. This week was shaping up to be an emotional rollercoaster As she got up to leave, Maximus turned to Lucius.
"Lucius..." "What is it?"! "Can we talk?" Maximus asked calmly.

"I just hope you didn't do something we'll regret later.” "No, I didn't. But I can tell you one thing-Pierre is coming for Paul, and what he's offering is a whole new world.
We may have money, but we can't give him the kind of life Pierre is showing him." "That's not a life!" "No, but think about it-Paul is a teenager. At that age..." "I hope not... But, Dad, you and I both know what goes through your mind at that age." "Lucius...
"What? It's the truth, isn't it?" "No... It's not that... You just called'Dad'..." Maximus said, visibly surprised.
"Well, that's what you are, right?" Lucius shrugged.
"Yes, but... you never calledthat before." "Well, get used to it. It's easier than calling you Maximus.

Lucius knew exactly how much of a shock this was for his father. His meeting with Pierre had opened his eyes. He had cto realize that En' both he and Maximus had been nothing more than pawns in a schorchestrated by their own family.
If they had been distant for so long, it was because of external forces-not because of them. And though Lucius had few memories of their relationship, flashes of the past surfaced in his mind.
