My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1109

Six months had flown by since Lucius and Amanda had returned to New Zealand.

Just like Lucius had said, Amanda wouldn't be going back to living in the university dorms—she was moving into his apartment. Of course, that also had to be approved by Anthony Moriarty.

That stern judge was slowly letting his guard down—though not entirely.

Angela, his wife, visited them whenever she could, and when she couldn't, she made sure to video call every couple of days. Valentina had formed a surprisingly strong attachment to Lucius.

One random morning, Lucius had an early extra class, and Amanda had stayed home, fast asleep. It was 10:00 a.m. and she still hadn't woken up.

The only thing that finally got her up was a wave of intense nausea. She jumped out of bed, ran to the bathroom, and threw up everything she didn't have in her stomach.

Amanda was stunned. She couldn't think of anything she'd eaten that might've made her feel that sick.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. She rinsed her mouth and rushed to the nightstand where her phone was. Without hesitation, she opened the app that tracked her period.

"Shit! Damn it! Shit!" she said out loud.

"If you say one more 'shit' or 'damn' I'm going to get worried," Lucius said, leaning casually against the doorframe.

Amanda hadn't even noticed he was back from class—she'd been locked in the bathroom.

"What's going on? Judging by the look on your face, I'm guessing it's nothing good…" Lucius said, raising an eyebrow.

"Lucius… you know we've been having sex like rabbits ever since we got back from Valentia, right?" Amanda said, using one of her usual weird analogies.

"Well… I wouldn't say rabbits, exactly. That usually refers to baby-making…" Lucius replied calmly.

"Exactly… and I think that's what just happened," she said, holding out her phone.
