A few days after they returned from their vacation, Max's busy schedule became increasingly apparent.

He still looked after Xena, making sure she ate breakfast before leaving for work and never skipped dinner, even though he himself often didn't return home until late at night. However, Xena began to notice that Max was leaving earlier in the morning and spending most of his time in his study.

That night, as she went to get some water, Xena passed Max's study and heard his voice through the sli

    Meanwhile, at the Montoya Group office, Hazel sat on the sofa in Jacob's office, scrolling through her phone.Over the past few days, things between them had felt different. Jacob still saw her, spoiled her, and spent time with her. However, his mind often seemed to be elsewhere.Even when they were together, Jacob would sometimes get distracted by his phone or suddenly fall silent, as though he were thinking about something.At first, Hazel tried to ignore it.She assumed Jacob was simply busy with company matters. But as the days passed, it became increasingly difficult for her not to notice that one name kept coming up in their conversations.Xena.Just like today, while Jacob was reviewing some documents at his desk, he suddenly frowned at one of the pages."What's wrong?" Hazel asked from where she sat nearby."Nothing. I just remembered something.""What?"Jacob set the document down. "For some reason, I fee

    Xena fell silent.She lifted her face and looked at Max. Her eyes glistened with tears, holding so many feelings she struggled to put into words. Those simple words sounded so sincere, so different from the sweet things she had once heard from Jacob.Xena's lips parted slightly.Of all the questions she wanted to ask Max, there was one thing she was most curious about. Had he said those words of love merely to make her happy, or were they truly an expression of what he felt?But how could she bring herself to ask?Before she could utter a single word, Max's phone, which was lying on the bedside table, suddenly rang.Max briefly closed his eyes, as though slightly annoyed by the sound. He then loosened his embrace and turned toward the table.Meanwhile, Xena continued looking at him. The words she had almost spoken remained caught on the tip of her tongue.Max picked up the ringing phone from the bedside table. He glanced at the

    Neither of them knew who had initiated it, but by the time they arrived home, the distance between them was no longer something they could maintain.Before Xena even had a chance to take off her shoes, Max had already pulled her into his arms and kissed her. The kiss was warm yet filled with longing, as though he didn't want to waste another moment after holding back his desire to be closer to her.Xena responded without hesitation.Her arms circled his neck as she returned his kiss with equal enthusiasm. They moved slowly through the living room, occasionally stopping just to kiss again before continuing toward the stairs.When they reached the last step, Max suddenly bent down and scooped Xena into his arms. He did it so effortlessly, as though her weight was no burden to him at all.Xena instinctively wrapped both arms around his neck. “Max!”The man smiled between their kisses. “What is it?”“Are you sure you don't mind carrying m

    When the waiter arrived with their drinks, Max first made sure that Xena had received what she ordered. Once the main courses were served, he helped Xena reach dishes that were difficult to get to several times. He also noticed when she seemed to have trouble cutting one of her dishes.Without saying much, Max offered to help and briefly switched their plates so Xena could enjoy her meal more easily.“Thank you,” Xena said.Max simply smiled. “Enjoy your meal.”That evening, Max seemed a little different from usual. He was more attentive, showing her more little gestures of consideration, and for some reason, Xena felt truly appreciated and loved.After they finished their main courses, they remained seated, enjoying a light conversation. Xena occasionally laughed at Max's stories about one of his business associates. He also seemed more relaxed, even smiling several times as Xena shared something with him.Not long a

    Xena fell silent for a moment before finally giving a small smile. “Oh, that... It's the waiting period for the new project. I was just talking to one of my teammates.”Max watched her for a few seconds. He could tell that Xena was a little nervous as she explained. What was more, she hurriedly put the documents in her hand back into her bag.Max knew Xena was hiding something. However, he had no intention of pressuring her to talk about it.“I see.” He didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he changed the subject. “Are you going back to the office?”“No. But there are still a few things we need to discuss.” Xena then handed Max his briefcase, which she had been holding all this time.Max took it. He glanced at the bag before looking back at Xena. “I've finished everything I needed to do here. What about you?”“I don't have anything else to take care of here,” Xena s

    Xena offered a faint smile before replying, “If I tell you when my next checkup is, what exactly can you do about it?”Jacob fell silent for a moment. He hadn't expected Xena to respond that way, especially in such a casual tone, as though his question didn't matter at all.“I'm just concerned about your health,” he said in an attempt to explain. “If you don't mind, I could accompany you to your next checkup.”Then Jacob quickly continued, “Oh, of course, Hazel would come with me. I'm sure she wouldn't mind accompanying you since the two of you are friends, right?”Hazel looked surprised, but then broke into a broad smile. “Jacob is right, Xena. I'd be more than happy to accompany you.”“Thank you for your concern,” Xena said casually as she linked her arm through Max's. Her smile remained in place, as though there were no other intention behind her words. “However, I think I'd feel more comfortable having Max with me.”Jacob frowned. “Xena, I just want to make sure you're doing well.
