Chapter 243: A Different Maxime
Fleur picked up a yellow candy and popped it into her mouth, her eyes lighting up instantly.
"It's delicious."
"Those are Fizzing Whizbees," Kyle explained with a smile. "One of Honeydukes' bestsellers. If you like them, I'll send you some more after school starts."
Fleur was about to nod, but a thought struck her, and her expression shifted to a slight frown. "Sorry, I didn't bring you a gift."
She had come with a competitive mindset, so naturally, bringing a gift hadn't crossed her mind. She hadn't expected Kyle to be so relaxed, not only humble but also giving her a gift willingly and without the slightest hint of being enchanted.
This left Fleur feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's fine. You can make it up to me the next time we meet." Kyle waved it off with a smile, casually tucking the suitcase back into his bag.
"Alright, if we meet again, I'll definitely make up for this gift," Fleur promised with a nod. "And when school starts, I'll send you some special French sweets. You'll like them too."
...
Maxime, who had been standing nearby, had seen and heard everything exchanged between the two of them. She nodded slightly, and the smile that had vanished earlier slowly reappeared on her face.
As expected, he was still just a twelve-year-old kid. While he'd resisted Fleur's particular charm, he still got a bit nervous in her presence. And now, she was even giving him gifts.
