Chapter 173: A silent warning
"I-Is this it?" Andrew asked. They had already pulled to a stop. He should know that this was where they were headed, but he couldn’t help himself. He felt like he was nervous enough for the both of them. Maxwell’s chuckle next to him from the driver’s seat had him tearing his gaze away from the skyscraper before him and Maxwell was watching him. His blue eyes danced, his expression soft as he kept a hand on the steering wheel, using it to turn his body to face Andrew.
"Baby, we are here. Do you need a few minutes to collect yourself? You look like you’re about to pass out. If any kids are still inside, they’re going to be terrified of you." He said and Andrew swallowed.
He was probably right, but he just felt so nervous. He’d never done something like this before. He’d never even been near daycares before. Sure, he’d gone into a cafe or something and scouted out if an alpha was okay for an omega friend a couple of times, but this wasn’t the same.
"What if she finds out and she hates me?" Andrew asked desperately and Maxwell’s expression softened.
"We go with the plan that I asked you to do this with me. Or Amir asked us to. Worse case scenario, we reveal that we’re planning to add a daycare to the company. If she still is upset, you just have to shower her with baked goods. No one can be upset about that, now can they?" Maxwell’s soft words were comforting, but Andrew still felt like he was on edge.
"What if she has allergies and I give her stuff she’s allergic to?" He asked and Maxwell tried his best not to laugh.
"Then you apologise and ask her what her allergies are." Andrew’s lips trembled.
"What if she refuses to tell me?" Andrew asked and Maxwell reached his free hand out, grabbing Andrew’s chin.
"Baby." Maxwell started. "Who am I?" He asked sweetly and Andrew swallowed thickly.
"M-My partner." Maxwell nodded, smiling.
