Chapter 17: Thief!!!
’’Dammit,’’ Maxim rushed in the direction of her room without giving it another thought.
He kicked open the door and his eyes first landed on the baby who was playing on the bed.
His gaze roamed across the room urgently, pausing on the woman who was standing in front of the bathroom, wearing one of the bathroom towels with her bag in her hand.
His chest heaved up and down, ’’What happened?" his tone was layered with concern.
’’Thief!" Diana screamed. As soon as she spotted him, she rushed towards him and lunged herself into his arms.
Maxim staggered two steps back by the impact of the force, totally caught off guard by her sudden movement.
Before both of them could stumble on the floor, he placed his palm on her lower back while his other arm wrapped around her shoulder, ’’No one can invade this property. It has tight security—’’
’’No. No. It’s better if it’s a thief. I... If it isn’t then that means my parents tracked me down!" Diana spoke through gritted teeth, gripping his shirt in her hands fiercely.
’’Tracked you down?" Maxim resisted the urge to hug her tightly when he felt her trembling in his arms.
