Xena continued staring at Clara in shock. She had never imagined that Max's parents' deaths concealed such a dark story.

"Max's parents... were murdered?" she asked again, as though she still found it difficult to believe what she had just heard.

Clara nodded slowly.

Her expression turned somber. "That's right, Madam. I still remember that day very clearly. Mr. Max had just returned home after attending his graduation ceremony. He had also just received the news that he had been accepted into o

    However, Xena kept the thought to herself. She was certain Max wouldn't want to show her his sadness tonight. In the end, she chose to finish the warm milk Max had prepared for her before going to bed.The next morning, Xena woke up as sunlight began filtering through the gap in the bedroom curtains. She reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.Max was no longer there."Didn't he come back to the bedroom?"After washing up and getting ready, Xena went downstairs for breakfast. She looked for him in the dining room but found only Clara, who was making sure the morning meal had been properly prepared."Good morning, Madam," Clara greeted her."Morning, Clara." Xena pulled out a chair. "Has Max not come down yet?"Clara shook her head. "Mr. Max left early this morning, Madam.""That early?""Yes. He only had time to ask me to make sure you had breakfast before leaving for the office."Xena gave a small nod. She didn't ask anything further. It seemed Max had indeed

"That's right, Madam. I still remember that day very clearly. Mr. Max had just returned home after attending his graduation ceremony. He had also just received the news that he had been accepted into one of the most prestigious universities."Xena fell silent, allowing Clara to continue."Everyone in the house was so happy that night. Mr. Max had come home with good news. Mr. Alexander and Mrs. Elena were naturally very proud of him. We even talked about how he would continue his education." Clara offered a faint smile, but it soon faded."However, no one could have imagined that it would be the last night their family would spend together.""What exactly happened?" Xena asked softly."A grou

    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
