My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1127

Maximus and Diana lay in each other's arms on the wide bed, staring out the window into the night. The scent of the sea drifted in, and they could hear the waves crashing gently against the shore.

Diana had been right—life in this place felt different.

There were no arguments, no pretending to be someone they weren't. They were just a normal couple, enjoying their honeymoon, savoring every breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.

They were the kind of couple who walked hand in hand through the narrow streets of Santorini. The kind who sprawled out on the sand, letting the delicious yet scorching midday sun roast them.

Diana walked proudly, holding tightly to the hand of the man who was now her husband.

She was, without a doubt, young and beautiful—the kind of woman who turned heads wherever she went. And while that sometimes made Maximus a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help wondering how he could possibly compete with all those young guys.

He had once been young too—handsome, charming—and he knew exactly how men got a woman's attention. But Diana? She made it crystal clear where her heart belonged. She'd kiss him, hold him, show her love for him without shame.

And whenever she noticed Maximus get a little uneasy with the way others looked at her, she'd straddle his lap and kiss him with the kind of fiery passion only he got to see behind closed doors.

That was her way of saying: He's the only one for me.

This honeymoon had brought them even closer as a couple. Not that they weren't already close—but life back home was always a whirlwind: the kids' school stuff, Diana's job, family drama… They were always on the go.

But these days on the beach had been just for them. And for Maximus, it had been the best experience of all three of his marriages.

As for Diana, she felt full—whole. She was happy with the decision she had made and was sure that from now on, the future could only get brighter.

With their baby on the way, she knew life would bring plenty of new experiences—and she was excited for all of them. She'd be a first-time mom, and Maximus, finally, would get to live the kind of pregnancy experience he never had with his other children.

"You know I love you, right?" Maximus said, pulling Diana a little closer around the waist. She turned to look him in the eyes.
