My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1103

After that conversation, both Laura and Adrian understood they needed to work hard to rebuild the trust and everything that had shattered between them in a matter of minutes.

Adrian was still holding Laura, feeling the warmth of her body. In his arms, he could feel how fragile she was—the same girl who had once been his, and now… he would have to work hard to become more than just the father of her child.

Inside, Laura could feel her heart pounding like it wanted to escape her chest.

Her hands were tingling, her stomach twisting with nerves—a whirlwind of sensations she couldn't even begin to describe.

Call it instinct. Call it foolishness. But she lifted her face, placed her palm gently against Adrian's cheek, and subtly motioned for him to lean down.

When their lips finally met, Laura nearly lost her footing. If Adrian hadn't been holding her, she might have melted right there—her legs felt like jelly.

That kiss carried months of longing for both of them. Months of regrets, silent thoughts, and aching hearts. Maybe this was the start of something beautiful—or maybe not. Only time would tell.

After a moment, Adrian slid his arms tighter around her waist, one hand cradling the back of her neck. That kiss—it wasn't just filled with tenderness; it was heavy with emotions. Yes, one of those emotions was desire—an intense, pure desire he thought he might never feel again… but now it burned alive in his chest.

"Laura… forgive me," Adrian whispered, barely pulling away from her lips.

"I know I didn't do things right. Believe me, I will carry the burden of what I did for the rest of my life. I missed your pregnancy, I missed our daughter's birth… But I'm grateful you're giving me a chance to fix it. I know I don't have much to offer right now—but one day, I'll give you both everything I can. I'll make you both proud of me," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

"Adrian…" Laura said, locking eyes with him, "we both have to work hard if we want this to succeed. Are you willing to do that?"

"Yes! Yes! I'll do whatever it takes," Adrian answered, feeling the lump rising in his throat again.

"You and our little girl—you'll never be ashamed of me. This time, I'm going to make everything right."
