Chapter 24: Stress in academia
Ivy’s hair stood up like she just got an electric shock, ’’I-I think little angel wants to play with me,’’ she took the babygirl and dashed towards Diana’s room like she was being chased by a ghost.
Once they went inside the room, Diana looked at Maxim who elegantly wiped his mouth with a silk napkin, sipped water, and pushed himself to his feet.
Diana copied his actions except that she stuffed two cupcakes inside her mouth before drinking water, ’’You better make yourself clear before you leave,’’ she said while chewing the food, looking at the man who turned around to leave, ’’Or just take a walk with me. I think I will get indigestion if you don’t explain it.’’
...
As they walked side to side in the garden, Diana glanced at the wilted roses, ’’They aren’t being taken care of properly...’’ she could not understand why this house was in such a mess. Even if Maxim recently brought this house, it was unlike him to leave things like this.
He would not even leave a sapling to suffer, let alone the whole garden.
Maxim tucked one of his hands inside his pockets, ’’Your grades had nothing to do with me,’’ he repeated his earlier statement.
Oh? With that serious tone, did he want a war or something?
Diana glanced at the man who was wearing a black round-neck T-shirt paired with casual track pants. It was quite different from his formal or doctor outfit, ’’I didn’t say they had anything to do with you, I was just saying that you are a genius... Why do you have to make it about me?" She looked at him.
