"About our mother," Maxwell added, "Mark, Marissa, and I already talked about it. We are planning to speak to her again to consider seeing him this time around. I just hope she listens."
Adrian fell into a deep silence, thinking about everything Maxwell had just disclosed. After a moment, he looked up and said, "Alright, Maxwell. I don't know why your brother is sad, but we are on good terms."
Maxwell raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely," Adrian said, keeping his voice steady.
"Maybe he lost a business contract then," Maxwell muttered, shaking his head. "Whatever it is, try and talk to him."
"Alright, I will," Adrian promised.
Wanting to shift the focus away from his own relationship, Adrian changed the topic, turning to Maxwell with a small smile. "So, what is your decision? Have you finally decided who you want between Kate and James?"
Maxwell grinned immediately. "Yes. I already chose James. He's tall and sexy, exactly my type."
