LittleNovelChapter 0584 Alden arrived at the school with Ethan, who was still teary-eyed and visibly upset. Lately, his grandfather had been the one taking him to school, and Ethan had grown used to their routine. Alden, who didn't follow the srhythm, had inadvertently thrown the boy off, leading to a tantrum. Alden's patience wore thin, and he ended up scolding Ethan, forcing him into the car, where the boy cried for most of the drive.
When they arrived, Alden parked the car and helped Ethan out. The boy's face still bore the marks of his tears, and his irritation hadn't subsided.
"Ethan, I know it's hard that your grandfather isn't here, but you promised to be a good boy. Helpout with that, okay? I'm not Grandpa, but I'm doing my best," Alden said gently.

Alden felt a sharp pang in his chest. It was only the first day without his father, and things were already falling apart. Despite Peter's reserved nature, his bond with Ethan was undeniable. It made sense-Peter had been there for the boy since birth, even more so than Alma, who lacked the sconnection.
After standing outside the car for a moment, Alden climbed into his sleek vehicle and headed toward his uncle Maximus's house. He wasn't sure what the meeting was about, but if Maximus had called, it had to be important. After all, Maximus was mostly detached from the company these days, aside from the monthly deposits made to his children's accounts.
[At Maximus's house] "Laura, sweetheart, how are you feeling?" Matthew asked as he entered her room carrying a tray of breakfast food.
"I'm fine, Matthew. Really. Where's my dad?" "I sent him to take a shower and rest for a bit. I'll take care of you for now. You need to understand your dad's exhausted. If he gets sick, he won't be of any use to anyone. Just let him sleep and regain his strength-he'll cback to check on you. In the meantime, I've made all your childhood favorites. Remember?" "Yes!" Laura said, smiling as she looked at the tray.
"Good. Now eat up, and I'll go check on your dad." Maximus was in the shower, his mind spinning after learning that Diana was back in Valentia. He couldn't deny it he was itching to see her. In a moment like this, when his life was in turmoil, seeing her would be a relief, just like the sound of her voice had been years ago when his world was in chaos.
After finishing his shower, Maximus changed into comfortable clothes and prepared to get smuch-needed rest. Just as he was settling in, the doorbell rang. The butler answered and informed Matthew.
"Sir, Miss Serenity is here to see her sister." "Let her in. This is her home-she can cand go as she leases." "Very well, sir." Serenity made her way to Laura's room and saw her bed filled with the snacks Matthew had kindly prepared. "Wow, someone's getting spoiled," Serenity teased.

"He does. My parents were always caught up in their lives and problems, so they didn't have much tfor me. When Matthew cover, he hated seeingsad, so he madesnacks. He called it our little secret," "It's good you had someone you could count on," Serenity said thoughtfully.
"Matthew is more of a grandfather tothan my actual grandfather." Serenity shuddered, recalling the day she had met their Infamous grandfather. "Anyway, I'm glad you cto see me!" Laura said, changing the subject.
"I was worried about you and wanted to check in. I texted Maximus, and he said you'd just gotten out of the hospital." "I feel much better at home. I think it's the smell of disinfectant at the hospital that gets to me." "What have you decided about the baby?" "What do you mean?" "Do you want to keep it?"
"Of course! I could never give it up for adoption. I know who the father is, m and even though it hurts, I'm the mother, and I'll love this baby. I just hope Adrien never regrets what he's doing to me." "Let's hope not. But I wasn't talking about adoption. Why don't you just... terminate the pregnancy?"
"No! How can you say that? Not even my mother, who was the cruelest woman ever, did that. I won't either." "Wow. I thought it might have crossed your mind at spoint."
"No, never! My dad supports me, and I that's enough. Yesterday, I was really shaken by what Adrian did, but I've had tto think, and I know I want this baby." Chapter 0585 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
