Maybe I loved her from the first tshe stayed with me. Maybe I made mistakes and hurt her too. Even when we were together, I knew that you, Maximus, would always be a part of our lives because of Serenity.
"Lies have short legs, and sooner or later, her connection to you would have cto light. You would've returned to her life, and it would've been a never-ending cycle.
"But with Marcus... Marcus was my friend, and he's not a bad man. He's suffered greatly, and if he chose to marry Mary, it was for life. I know him, and I know that's how he is. He loved his first wife deeply, and now, I can see he loves Mary just as much. What bothers me, though, is the fear in his eyes-as if he believes I'm going to show up and take her away from him." Maximus chuckled bitterly. "If I had ended up married to Mary and you appeared, I can't imagine our brotherly relationship surviving that." "Exactly," Peter replied. "Now do you see why I refuse to go looking for her?" "If I were you, I'd find her," Maximus said, leaning forward. "At least to close the chapter."

She's my blood, and I'll help her, protect her, and guide her. Honestly, I'd prefer if that bastard didn't step up to the plate, because I'm not ready to let go of my little girl yet." After a few more minutes of driving, Peter pulled into the Palmer estate. He helped Maximus out of the car, slinging his brother's arm over his shoulder to steady him as they made their way inside. The new butler opened the door and directed Peter to Maximus's bedroom. Once there, Peter removed his brother's coat and shoes, ensuring he was comfortable before leaving the room.
Before heading out, Peter asked the butler about Laura. The butler informed him she was in her room, and Peter requested to speak with her. The butler nodded and went to fetch her.
A few minutes later, a timid Laura entered the living room, her pale features and blonde hair catching the dim light. She sat hesitantly on one of the sofas, avoiding Peter's gaze.
"Hello, Laura," Peter greeted warmly.
"Uncle..." she replied softly.
"I brought your father home. Take good care of him-he's not doing well right now." "Is it because of me? How is he? What did he say?” Laura asked, her voice trembling.
"He said you're going to be a mom." Tears welled up in Laura's eyes as she whispered, "I didn't want to disappoint my father. I... I just got away.

"I know, sweetie," Peter said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "But now, it's tto think Carefully about your next steps. I'm certain your father will support you, no matter what decision you make."

Peter stood and walked over to Laura, pulling her into a firm hug.
in Though he didn't say it aloud, he worried about his brother's stubbornness and the possibility of Maximus mishandling the situation. "Remember," Peter said, "If, for any reason, your father doesn't support you, you've got an uncle who's an expert in baby care." "Thank you so much, Uncle," Laura replied, her tears flowing freely as she clung to him.
