My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 877

Maximus was at home, going through his to-do list. He had to leave everything in order. As he had said a few days ago, he was going to accompany Paul to the Maldives, so he needed to review all the documents that required his attention.

His focus broke when someone knocked on the door. He was surprised to see his daughter, Serenity. At first glance, the image that came to mind was of a young Mary.

"Hey, Maximus! Am I interrupting?" Serenity asked, still standing at the entrance.

"Hey, sweetheart! No, no! Come in! Come in! I’m just going over some things I need to wrap up before my trip," Maximus said, getting up from his chair.

"You're going on a trip?" Serenity asked curiously.

"Yeah! I'm heading to the Maldives. Paul wants me to take him," Maximus said casually.

"Oh, I see. It’s because of Nadia, isn’t it?" Serenity said, raising an eyebrow.

"So her name is Nadia?" Maximus asked with a smile, walking toward his daughter.

"Yeah, he met her in the Maldives. To be honest, I didn’t get a good vibe from her, but Paul seemed really interested," Serenity said as she stepped in and closed the study door.

"Do you want something to drink? Water, coffee, tea?" Maximus asked, hugging his daughter.

"No, Maximus, I’m good. I just stopped by to visit and chat for a bit. I know we haven’t talked much since we got back, but with everything—Peter, my mother, my father—and then my pregnancy, we haven’t had much free time."

"I know, sweetheart! I know, and I understand. First and foremost, they are your family, and we’re still getting to know each other. But I want you to know that even if we don’t see each other all the time, I love you—I love you with all my heart," Maximus said, holding her close and kissing her forehead.

"I know, Maximus! Hey, I wanted to invite you and the guys to dinner…" Serenity said, taking a seat in one of the chairs in front of her father’s desk.

"When? What are we celebrating?" Maximus asked with interest.
