Chapter 37: Honey~
’’Him. Yes, it’s him I saw last night. They attacked my grandson together,’’ The Old Lady screamed in exasperation, almost bolting out of her chair but she was quickly restrained by her grandson.
The officer looked back and forth between Diana and Maxim before he opened his mouth.
Diana tilted her head, ’’Honey~" she jumped out of the chair before the officer could speak. She rushed towards Maxim as she placed her hand on his biceps, ’’You didn’t have to come all the way here for me,’’ her voice was coy.
Maxim, who entered the place in all calmness felt his calm shattering when she leaned closer to him. He caught a whiff of the faint rose body wash that he had specifically gotten arranged for her. She loved roses.
But he didn’t like surprises. Especially the current kind. Not at all. Or maybe...
’’Honey,’’ Diana’s sugar-coated voice dragged him out of his trance. She had her back facing towards the rest of the people so they could not see how she looked like a stressed-out cat. ’’I missed you so much,’’ she smiled at him, although it looked like she was crying.
Maxim cleared his throat.
’’Honey~" Diana hooked her arms around his neck as she stood on her tiptoes.
He stiffened for a moment before he wrapped an arm around her waist.
