My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1150

Maximus was in his study, going over some things on the phone with Alden, when Alden accidentally let slip that Lucius had asked them to look for a house for him and little Amanda.

"Well, Uncle, if there's nothing else to go over, I'll let you go. I'm going to check out some properties. I'm going with Serenity to see a house Lucius asked her to look at."

"Lucius? My son?"

"Yeah... Didn't you...?" Alden said, realizing his huge mistake.

"Didn't what, Alden?"

"Well, Lucius asked Serenity to help him buy a house. Look, it's better if you talk to him directly. I've already said too much, and I don't want to say anything more…"

"He wants to leave, doesn't he?"

Alden went quiet for a moment, then answered.

"Yeah. And I get it. Serenity didn't at first, but after thinking it over, she agreed to help her brother."

Maximus was speechless for a moment. After a deep sigh, he said, "Lucius is devastated after Amanda's death. He can't leave. He shouldn't leave. He's not alone—he's got us, his family."

While he was talking to Alden, Matthew had come into the study and taken a seat, quietly listening to his friend and protégé.

"Well, what can I say, Uncle? He wants to go, and I don't think anyone can stop him. Even Moriarty already gave him the green light."

"Moriarty doesn't get to decide his life. I'm his father. I should know these things," said Maximus, clearly upset.

"I talked to Lucius. That's all I can really tell you."

"Alright, Alden. Thanks for telling me."

"You're welcome, Uncle…"

With that, the call ended. It was clear Matthew had been paying close attention, though he hadn't said a word.

"What's going on, Matthew?"
