Chapter 304: Why did it matter?
’’You wanted to do this yesterday?’’ Maxim laughed, but the smile did not reach his eyes, ’’You were fine with everything till last night, and things changed now?"
And something seemed to be tormenting him when she did not even bat an eyelid before responding to him, ’’It was fine when we were being friends with benefits. Dating comes with emotional complications that I did not ask for.’’
Dating comes with emotional complications that I did not ask for.
Every word was like a shard of glass digging through his heart and slicing it in ruthlessly.
’’We have had our fair share of fun. You did and I did as well. But it is complicated for us to continue given the current circumstances. I don’t want to go home and argue with my family every other day.’’
’’And you could not tell me about this before because?" Maxim asked, his voice hollow and lost, unrecognizable to his own ears.
’’Because I did not want to ruin our friendship.’’
Maxim chuckled, the hint of mockery in his laughter pierced her ears, just like it had been in the earlier days when they did not get along, ’’Friendship is not the only thing that you are ruining right now, Diana,’’ the words left his mouth in a whisper but he knew she heard him anyway given the way her eyes widened slightly but if she did, she did not respond to them.
’Ding’
’Ding’
The repetitive sound of notifications on Maxim’s phone broke the tension in the air.
