Novel & Cerita Max And Ruby Parents

“As in Maxim Sledge? The CEO and founder of Sledge Group? As in the multi-billionaire Maxim Sledge?” My heart dropped into my stomach. I opened my mouth, searching for a way to recover, but Lauren chimed in before I could. “Wait,” Lauren said, her brow furrowed. “Isn’t your last name Maxwell?” I forced a laugh, the sound brittle in my ears. “Did I say Sledge? No, no, I meant Slade. Max Slade.” I waved my hand dismissively, trying to salvage the situation. “Max is my stepfather. My mom and biological dad separated when I was two. She remarried, and Max became my stepfather. They had my twin younger brothers later. We all are very close.”

His mum said over the phone looking confused, he did have friends but they were more of business partners who wouldn't think of coming over to his parent's house. “Hi King, how could you forget about our plan to eat at your parent's place to eat dinner,” Max said over the phone with a sly laugh, Mr. King felt like he had been hit by a rick as that voice reverberated in his head and tension arose, this was the last person he expected to be with them…. What was that devil doing with his parents?

It tasted as good as he said it did and I could still order my own stuff after joining him to enjoy what was on our table. I would probably ask for the pizza again. Probably. Max had parents that were hardly at home. His mom was a surgeon and his dad was into real estate. He was complaining that he missed them on most days, I was sitting here wondering about all the financial freedom that he already had. We both had parents that were hardly at home but his was paying for their absence, mine wasn’t. I wasn’t going to say that though. He had not asked about my family yet so we didn’t have to dive into my depressing life back at home.

Meet Cayden, the newest addition to the family! The room erupted into a chorus of gasps and whispers. My parents' eyes widened as they exchanged glances, trying to connect the dots. "Cayden?" my father repeated, his voice tinged with uncertainty. I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. Hope they won't mention Max’s name. “Our grandson?” my parents asked in unison. “Yes,” I answered, looking away and praying they do not say anything about Max because I would not be able to explain anything and that would ruin all our plans.

Message Abyan. "Do you have any suggestions on how I can find him?" Maxim asked curiously. "There is no suggestion because Papa and Mama met the first time on the plane and only realized that Mama was the right woman for Papa after Mama saved Papa the second time," Abyan replied. The affectionate glances he aimed at Emma made Tatiana look at her parents, amused. They were not a young couple anymore, especially his father, whose age was very far from his mother. Still, he saw his parents were amicable even though his father's attitude was very protective of his family.

They’ll know you won the competition through nepotism. — M.E. For a second, the letters blurred. Biological father. Nepotism. Media. M.E. It took my mind several seconds to process, but my body got there first. My pulse shot up, breath coming in tight little bursts. M.E. Oh God. M.E. Maximilian Edwards. Ryan’s father. I read the signature again, as if it would magically morph into something else. Some other initials. Some other threat. But no. It stayed the same.

I said, looking at Maxwell with gratitude. “The hunters protected us and helped us fight off Murray when he attacked. We are alive because of them.” I said, and My father went to Maxwell and shook his hands to show gratitude. A tall, lanky man approached me while Maxwell and my father were getting acquainted. He was the same man driving the convertible. “Ruby Macsim,” he said, stretching out a hand, “I am Liam Marksman, Jasper's benefactor and Cindy's father. I have heard so much about you,” he said.

The maid returns with a glass of water, places it before him and quietly slips out again. We sit in silence for a while. The wind stirs the trees outside, and the sun warms the marble floor. “I’ve been thinking about my parents lately,” I say after a beat. “Dad’s health is... declining. Rheumatism. He barely moves now. Mom visits him sometimes, but...” I trail off. What’s the point in saying it? That she’s been taking money from Joel. That she betrayed me with a smile on her face. Dr. Malik’s eyes narrow slightly, but he doesn’t prod. “You still talk to them?”

CHAPTER 120 RUBY'S POV “Tell me again, Patricia. What did you just say?” Dax asked Patricia again just to be sure he heard correctly and she giggled. “Stop acting so surprised like you don't know about it already. Ruby told me when she came over for our date you know? She said you're both Sally's parents and she also said she would come clean to you which I'm sure she has already done and I have to say… I planned to tell you guys when you know the truth, that you're a perfect duo to have kids. Your children are going to look like angels”

Max cleared his throat loudly, adverting me away from my thoughts. "She only said that cause you're her son.I mean, who wouldn't hype their kid these days." He whispered into my ear, in a matter of fact tone, when Ruby and his kids left to have kids time. "I heard that." Mom said and Max's eyes widened in their sockets. We all bursted into laughter. And my eyes shifted at Bolu. She wasn't laughing, in fact it looked like she wanted to leave as fast as possible.
