Chapter 144: You enjoyed it
Upon seeing his reaction, Diana tilted her chin down to look at herself and her jaws dropped, ’’I...’’ she looked back at him, ’’This is all I got from Hazel’s closet. The rest of the doors were locked,’’ she promptly explained.
As much as she wanted to get him into her bed, she did not want to come off as aggressive. After all, what if it scared him away?
Maxim’s lips thinned. How was he not surprised to know that his mother was behind this?
If not for Logan’s confirmation and the pictures that his mother sent some time ago after landing in Seattle, he would have believed that it was her ploy to lock him together with Diana here.
But then again, knowing her nature, she must be trying to hit two birds with one stone. On one hand, she went on a date to enjoy herself and on the other hand, she locked him with Diana in the hopes of getting them together.
Only if his mother was born in ancient China then she would have led a harem full of women and even men by the nose with such shrewdness of hers. A pity.
’’Wear the robe,’’ Maxim released her hand and pointed at the bathrobe that was lying on the bed.
Diana glanced at the robe before she looked up at him, ’’I don’t want to.’’
’’You don’t want to?" Maxim repeated her words as he took a step towards her. Was she messing with him?
Diana stepped towards them, almost closing the distance between them as she smiled, ’’You see, it is weird for me to wear a robe over the nightgown when I am about to go to sleep. I thought you left already. Who knew you would show your face again?" she rolled her eyes before adding, ’’On a second note, this is such a beautiful outfit. I can’t mess with it by putting a robe on it. Moreover, I am decent, covered from head to toe. The remaining outfits there were more outrageous...’’ she trailed off and cleared her throat when he narrowed his eyes.
Maxim massaged his forehead. As she said, she was covered from head to toe, she was decent but his imagination was not. Watching her standing there in a lacy nightgown, he was better off dead.
