Chapter 333: He’s hiding something
Andrew could tell that something was up with Maxwell on the way home.
The man was lost in thought most of the drive, and didn’t start any conversations with Andrew at all. While this happened sometimes, today didn’t feel exactly the same. He felt purposefully distracted, and Andrew didn’t want to make any crazy assumptions, but it felt like it was intentional. Like the man didn’t want to talk to him, specifically.
Andrew should have felt more worried than he was, but he couldn’t be. He knew that if it was something bad in their relationship, he would have said something. Maybe. After the argument they had, and the small time that they had broken up, Maxwell had gotten a lot better at communication.
If he didn’t want to tell Andrew right away, he just hoped it wasn’t anything big. He hoped that Maxwell would tell him about whatever was bothering him in his own time.
Andrew kept a smile on his face as he drove to their new home. He almost messed up and drove to their old home, but caught himself before it got too obvious. He expected Maxwell to make a comment on it, but the man was silent.
That did worry Andrew, but he kept it to himself as they pulled into their new gated community and then further into their own garage. The contractors were still there, and Maxwell was the first to get out of the car, heading inside. Andrew let him, watching him, wondering what was bothering the man so much that it kind of felt like he was avoiding Andrew.
He tried not to get too worried. The man would talk to him. He knew he would.
Andrew made sure that they had collected everything from the car before he got out, locked up, and joined Maxwell in the house. Maxwell was chatting with the contractor, probably getting caught up on what they had done today, and when he noticed that Andrew had stepped into the building, he waved him over. Andrew went willingly.
"They got the new door for upstairs installed. The one that’s supposed to act as Richard’s temporary home before the other unit is finished." Maxwell told him and Andrew nodded, turning a smile to the contractor.
