Novel1Chapter 1010 "Maximus..." Lucius muttered, unable to hold his father's gaze.
Maximus pulled his son into his chest and held him tightly "You have no idea how much I regret putting the company first. You have no idea how much I regret not being there for you... You don't know how much I envied your grandfathers-they got to be with you, to take you traveling. Even if I didn't understand all their plans, I know that, in many ways, this is my fault too," Maximus admitted, squeezing Lucius in his arms.
Laura watched the scene unfold, feeling the weight of the emotions filling the room. No matter how much she and her siblings were there, she knew that in Maximus's heart, there had always been someone missing. And that missing piece was Lucius.
"Dad, Lucius... I think Paul is smart enough to understand what's happening. If this man really wants to meet him, maybe it's because he truly wants him in his life.

"Like Lucius said, the paternity test is important. But more than that, we need to tell Paul the truth. I know he's a teenager, and lately, he's been reckless and rebellious, but we can't keep this from him." Maximus released Lucius and turned to Laura. He could see that she was trying to mediate between them.
"Sweetheart..." "Dad, I know Paul acts immature and makes stupid decisions sometimes, but that doesn't mean we should hide this from him.
"Just think about it-you and Grandpa Magnus spent fifty years apart before finally having the chance to be father and son. Let's try to put ourselves in his shoes for a second.." "Laura, do you trust this man?" "It's not about trusting the man who claims to be Paul's father. I trust you. And if you're bringing this up with us, then we have to trust that it's serious.
"Yes, we need to get the paternity test, but first and foremost, we need to tell Paul the truth.
"He's my brother, and that's never going to change. Period. There's nothing else to discuss. But as his older sister, there are definitely sthings I need to say to that man." Maximus and Lucius exchanged surprised glances. Neither of them had expected Laura to respond with such unwavering strength.
"You want to talk to Pierre?" Maximus asked.
"Yes. I want to speak to that man. Because, first and foremost, Paul is my brother, and he can't just walk into my hand expect to break it apart." "Sis..." Lucius murmured.
"We've fought so hard to finally build a real home. And now, after all this time, you're here, Lucius. Finally. We finally have you. The last thing I want is for you to cback, only for Paul to leave.
"He's an Evans. And yes, maybe he has another father, but the important thing here is that this man needs to respect that. If he didn't respect a marriage back then, he sure as hell will respect my hnow," Laura said firmly, leaving no room for doubt.

"Laura, calm down. The man isn't looking for a fight. He just wants to be part of Paul's life. My biggest fear is what Paul himself will think about all of this..."
"Paul isn't of legal age yet. Yes, he has the right to meet the man who m claims to be his father, but when it comes to my brothers, the decisions are made in this home. And as long as he's a minor-"
"Laura... Relax," Maximus interrupted gently. "I know this his isn't an ideam situation but if you want to talk to him, I can go with you." "I'll go too," Lucius added, watching his sister carefully.
Both father and son were completely taken aback. Laura was maturing fast-she was standing her ground like a lioness protecting her cubs.
