Chapter 137: His past
The little girl looked at the orchids that Maxim had sprinkled around her and she tucked them into the flair of her dress one by one.
Diana tilted her head to glance at Maxim who was entertaining Angel, ’’You know, initially, I didn’t want to come here today,’’ When he glanced at her, she was suddenly reminded that the reason she did not want to come here in the first place was that she did not know how to face him after yesterday.
She cleared her throat, ’’I mean... I was a bit reluctant but now I think it’s good that I ended up coming here.’’
’’You think it’s good because we are all locked?" Sometimes, Maxim did not understand how her head worked.
Diana shook her head, ’’In fact, because of work, I have been unable to take Angel out to play,’’ her other concern was that she would accidentally stumble upon her father’s men in case they were here, still looking for them or her maternal grandmother like the last time.
’’She is growing and I feel like I haven’t been doing enough for her. So, it’s good that she can enjoy herself here like this,’’ Diana said.
Maxim stepped towards her before sitting on the opposite side of the swing.
Since the terrace was surrounded by 6 feet glass walls, and it was completely child-safe, Diana let Angel play near her feet without worries.
Diana held the chain in her hand and tilted her head to the side, ’’Feels like we are back to the school days,’’ she smiled, thinking back to the first time he had kissed her wrist to console her. She was sitting on a swing back then too.
Her heart raced at the reminder and she wondered if she had felt the same back then as well.
Maxim was quiet so she took it as an affirmation.
