Novel1Chapter 1002 +25 BORIS Meanwhile, in one of the church's rooms where Alden was getting ready, he was surrounded by Peter, Magnus, and Maximus. He looked imposing and confident, fully aware of the step he was about to take.
Six years ago, he had married under completely different circumstances.
Today, however, he was accompanied by three generations of men. His father, jovial and relaxed, adjusted his tuxedo. Maximus and Magnus stood by, offering their silent support. Nothing about this moment resembled what he had gone through six years ago.
Shortly after, Theodore and Adam arrived, having searched for their seats in the church before joining them. "Alright, how's everything going? Is this young man planning to run away or what? And why are all the Palmer men gathered in here?" Theodore asked, his rare sense of humor making an appearance.
"Hello, Theodore," Peter greeted his friend.

"And what about you, kid?" Theodore turned to Peter with a smirk. "You've got two daughters, and yet you still haven't set a wedding date with Celeste? Or are you still thinking about it?" "We're waiting for the right moment," Peter said, making excuses. “At least I'm not the one who got married in secret and then suddenly showed up with a 23-year-old son." "I took responsibility! I didn't sit around waiting for the 'right moment,' you insolent brat," Theodore shot back, squinting his eyes in mock annoyance.
"Alright, alright, enough of that," Maximus interjected, amused by their bickering. "Today is about my nephew." Peter and Theodore had a unique friendship-somewhere between close comrades and rivals who never missed a chance to take jabs at each other.
Theodore had recently bought a house in Tuscany, where he now lived with Fiona. Meanwhile, Adam had moved to central Valeria after enrolling in one of the best universities in the city.
Despite now sharing his life with Fiona, Theodore remained as gruff and tough as ever to the outside world. But within the walls of their home, he was the most loving man she had ever known. Their life together was filled with warmth and affection.
While the three men continued their playful argument about relationships, Magnus turned to Alden. "How are you holding up, kid?" he asked.
"I'm good, Magnus!" Alden replied. "Honestly, out of everyone here, you seem the most relaxed." "That's because I am relaxed," Magnus said with a knowing smile. “Look at them-grown men acting like children. I'm too old for that nonsense. I just enjoy life as it comes now." Then his tone shifted, becoming more serious.
"Now that you're getting married, you need to focus on your family. You need to leave everything from your past behind. And when I say everything, I mean everything.
"Your father spent years protecting you from getting your hands dirty, so that whole 'playing hero' act? It ends today.

No matter where you choose to live, it's important that you forget those lessons Theodore taught you." "Magnus... those things once helpedsave my son's life, Alden reminded him, recalling the terrifying moment he thought he'd lose his child forever.
"Yes," Magnus nodded, “but that doesn't mean you should be the one getting your hands dirty. It's better to always have someone watching your back.

"You're not just any guy, but that doesn't mean you should be m overconfident either. Focus on the family you're building and leave the rest to those who should handle it." Alden let Magnus's words sink in before nodding in agreement.
"Thank you, Magnus," he said sincerely.
"No need to thank me, kid. Believe me, nothing makeshappier than being part of a family. Even though a it's hard for me... it makeshappy," Magnus admitted, recalling a recent conversation with his son. "It shows," Alden chuckled, giving Magnus a few pats on the shoulder.
"Alright, kid, it's almost time," Magnus said, checking the clock. "You and and your father should have a moment to talk before we head out. I'll get these guys out of here so you two can have a proper conversation." With that, Magnus gave Alden a firm pat on the back before ushering the other men out of the room.
