Chapter 172: Papa
Back then, Daisy did not seem to hate Maxim as much as now. And Maxim also never looked at Daisy as if she was his sworn enemy, unlike now.
The atmosphere seemed so tense.
Even Ivy, whose blabbermouth antics could usually dissolve any sort of awkward atmosphere, was quietly observing at the moment. And Angel who was sitting on Ivy’s lap did not seem to have any intention of dispersing the tension in the air by showing her usual cuteness.
Unable to take it any longer, Diana spoke up, ’’Why are you here?"
Maxim shifted his gaze from Daisy and moved his wrist, placing it in front of Diana’s eyes.
Diana glanced at his watch before meeting his gaze in confusion.
’’To pick you up.’’
Diana blinked. It slipped off her mind that he usually picked her up and dropped her after work.
’’I...’’ she cleared her throat, feeling two pairs of burning gazes from the back, ’’I won’t be going to work today. I should have informed you beforehand but it slipped off my mind.’’
It totally did not slip off her mind. When she was about to call him, she saw the text that she had sent him which was left unreplied by him. And out of spite, she did not feel like calling him anymore.
But that was that and this is this. There was no way she would tell him that she was upset because he did not reply to her text. It sounded so childish.
