Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes! Do you have the information I asked for?" Marcus replied, sitting up in bed.
"I do... but after going through everything again, I think someone else should be here," Frederick said cautiously. "Who?" "Maximus Palmer. He's the head of the Palmer family. Although Leonardo is still around, to be honest, I don't know how he'd handle what I'm about to show you." "Is it necessary?" "Only if you don't want to carry the heavy burden of truth all by yourself." "Frederick, I'm not in the mood for games. Is it necessary for him to be here?" "Yes." Frederick's response was short but firm. He knew he had let Marcus down in the sway Peter had. He'd taken a quick look at the information in the briefcase, of which there were two copies, thinking Marcus would be the one to review it first. The original plan had been to avenge their friend, but things had spiraled to the point they found themselves at now. Peter already bore the weight of that truth. If he had left the information to be found, it was because he was prepared to carry the crushing reality it revealed.
"Call him!" "Okay. Have you taken your pain medication?" "Yes." "Good. Does Valerie know you're here?" "I suppose so." "Marcus, you can't keep doing this. I know you're upset with her, but this isn't the way to fix things in a marriage. You need to understand that Valerie is dealing with the struggles of pregnancy. Everything she faces feels more intense right now. It's not like she wants it to be this way. But letask you something." "Mmm..." "What would happen, hypothetically speaking, if Valentina cback? If one day, she and Peter-your son, now an adult-showed up at your doorstep?" "That's impossible to begin with." "I said hypothetically. What would happen? How would you react? You loved your first wife with all your heart. Peter was going to be your firstborn. How would you feel?" "I already told you, that's impossible." "Marcus, I'm asking you again. What would happen? Don't answer me-just think about it. What would it mean for your life if they were alive?" "You'll find the answer. Once you do, you'll probably understand your wife better." "Frederick, no doubt about it, you're getting more creative with age." Chapter 0547 +25 BONUS "No, I'm getting wiser. I've been by your side through everything. I've been with you through all of life's ups and downs. That givesthe right to have an opinion." "Talk to Maximus. I won't take no for an answer. If he can't come, tell him we'll go to his house. But this matter gets settled today." "Fine."
Frederick left the room. His friend and lifelong companion-the last link to his past life-had learned how to reprimand him without actually doing it Marcus was left alone with the question in his mind. Many times, back when he was single and alone, he had imagined that everything that had happened wasn't real. He'd picture his wife walking through the door, carrying their little boy, bringing him to bed with them. Together, they'd play, have breakfast, he'd change diapers, they'd go on beach vacations, and do all the things a family does.

There had never been a chance to save her. Those fantasies were just the imaginings of a man who didn't want to let go of her memory.
[Maximus Palmer's House]
Serenity had gone to Maximus's house that night after a terrible scare.
In the end, she stayed there, sleeping in Laura's room-the s1- the sroomm where her mother had slept for years. As she watched her sister sleep, Serenity reflected on everything that lay ahead. Though they hadn't known each other for long, Laura had grown fond of her from the start, and now more than ever, Laura would need her. Serenity replayed the events of the previous day in her mind, and it all felt like something out of a romantic . Her sister was young and inexperienced, without a mother, and their father was, at this point, an absolute wreck.
Peter, their father, had chin a terrible state-according to Laura-after learning that his daughter was
Serenity had cafter Laura called her, crying. At first, Laura hadn't explained why she needed to see her, but her shaky voice gave her away. When she broke down in tears, Serenity knew she had to go to the Palmer house. Being there gave her an odd feeling, and when she saw Laura waiting outside the mansion, she said, “Laura, what are you doing here? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Laura's eyes filled with tears as she replied, "Serenity, there's something I have to tell you. Dad... Dad.....” mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
