Chapter 0408 Chapter 0408 After the inevitable reunion with his brother, Maximus were hwith his children. As strange as it seemed, he was still in shock. His children spoke excitedly, telling hill the details of their first day, but he, unfortunately, was still in a daze. He couldn't believe that the brother he dwed more than a thousand apologies and forgivenesses to was alive. What he couldn't comprehend even more was all the suffering Peter had endured-spending five years in a hospital, then rehabilitating, only to realize that his life would never be the same. It was all a damn nightmare in Maximus's eyes.

Why was he working with Theodore? What did Marcus Bartz or Frank Levett have to do with him? These were questions only Marcus could answer, but asking them might alert the man, breaking his pact with his brother. Maybe one day, if Beter allowed it, Maximus could try to untangle this mess "Dad? Dad? Are you there?" Laura asked, seeing that her father was lost in thought.
Maximus shook his head and looked at Laura with uncertainty. After a few seconds, he smiled and said to all his children: "How about we go for shamburgers?" They all got excited, especially little Maurice. But Laura, knowing her father well, knew that it wasn't the hamburgers that had him absent. Something was going on in his mind. She had seen him at his worst, and she didn't want him to go through that again, so she made it her mission to figure out what was bothering him. After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at the bar where Maximus had been earlier with Peter. The kids felt like grown-ups because it was a bar, but since they were accompanied by an adult, they were allowed in. They ate and shared everything again. Maurice and Paul said their first day had been amazing, although, without admitting it, the change had done them a lot of good.
Laura, despite being close to the end of the semester, had no objection to changing schools. She had previously been bullied by Audrey Brown, something she had never told her father, but now that she was in this school, things were different. That very day, she had met a very attractive boy in her class. The young man had taken the trouble to show her around, giving her a tour of the classrooms and various activities that young people her age could participate in. Although the semester was almost over, she still had to choose extracurricular activities.
She decided not to tell her father about this. She didn't know how he would react if he found out she had a boyfriend or suitor. In the last few days, she had noticed a radical change in her father. To him, she was still a little girl.

The family arrived home, and each of them went to their respective rooms. Maximus went to his study. Although he no longer worked for Palmer Group, he still invested in the stock market and needed to keep track of his investments. The work was more relaxed now, leaving him with tto spend with his children. Today, especially after the day he'd had, he felt unusually calm. Seeing his brother and talking to him had unsettled him, but in the end, it had given him a little peace. He was grateful for this new opportunity. He didn't agree with his brother's decision, but he had no choice but to accept it.
Far from the Palmer mansion, at Peter's mansion, the man took his grandson to get a bath and prepare him for dinner. He put on his pajamas and headed to the dining room.
"Ethan, how was school today?" Peter today?" Peter asked, serving him piece of fish.
