Chapter 274: Do I get a cake, baby?
Diana spoke up, ’’I did not mean to make you worry. I left the hospital early because I had to make preparations but then it was way past your working hours and you were not back. To not ruin the surprise, I had to call someone I did not intend to invite,’’ Calling over her sister’s enemy was not the way to go with it because the way Daisy had been glaring at her since Ryle’s arrival had already made her break into goosebumps, but she had no one else to turn to, ’’So, I got him to escort you here. Was I wrong?"
Maxim’s face softened, ’’No.’’
Ryle: "_"
’’Did I worry you?"
Maxim shook his head, tucking a hand in his pocket and eyeing his other hand which was being held by Diana, ’’Not at all.’’
Ryle: "_"
Finally finding a suitable time to open her mouth, Daisy pushed herself to her feet and spoke up, ’’Wishing you many many happy returns of the day.’’
Those nine words seemed to have been forcefully squeezed out of Daisy’s mouth. Not that Maxim minded. It was already a sight to watch Daisy seething because of Ryle’s presence and squirming because she was present at his place because of Diana despite her obvious unwillingness.
If she could, she would probably curse him to die a thousand deaths so that he could stay away from her sister.
With all those circumstances at hand, Maxim was not petty enough to hold grudges against her, ’’Thanks,’’ his tone tinged with amusement.
Daisy nodded, her face cold as she pointed her chin towards the box on the dining table, ’’Gift,’’ she uttered, the words ’I am forced into this fiasco’ were stamped all over her aloof face.
