《Miss Maxwell I Want You Now 》全部章節：第 61 章 - 第 70 章

CHAPTER 62: That's allowed, isn't it?It has been some time since they left the resort, and the drive to the airport was a quiet one. Both occupants of the car were deep in their thoughts, wondering why the other was acting the way they were. The confines of the car were cloaked in a very heavy silence. The kind that pressed tightly against all the heavily tinted windows and settled into the crevices of the seats. Sarah sat rigidly, her gaze fixed on the blur of trees and asphalt rushing past, but her attention was barely on the passing sight. Yet she still fixed her gaze outside the tinted window, her arms crossed loosely over her lap, her eyes distant and unreadable. Beside her, Benicio gripped the steering wheel with a tension that belied his composed expression.​The car hummed beneath them, the soft purr of the engine was the only sound filling the luxurious, leather-scented silence.The sunlight from the coast flickered through the palm trees, casting broken shadows across her f

CHAPTER 64: Mommy… who’s our daddy?After returning from the work trip, Sarah decided that she would stay home for a while to spend time with her children. It had been sometime since she spent quality time with the twins. A different issue was always coming up and getting in the way of that quality time with Liam and Robyn lately. But not today.Sunlight streamed lazily through the large bay windows of the living room, casting soft gold across the white and black marble floor, and bathing the laughter of the children in warm colours. Robyn was curled beside her mother, tracing the glittery outlines of the fairytale stickers she’d just plastered across the pages of her drawing book. With the glittery silver crown that Sarah had gotten quite recently to add to her insanely growing collection of pretty little tiaras, perched delicately on top of her hair that her mother had portioned in cute pigtails—the adorable little girl looked every inch a charming princess. On the other hand, Liam

CHAPTER 66: Messy emotions, messy thoughtsCara’s expression shifted, no longer just gentle but protective. She understood how Sarah felt. She had been there every step of the way. Her decision to keep her children from Edward—she had supported. But she was also aware that there was only so much one could do to conceal the truth. “You’ve never been responsible for Edward's choices, Sarah. You don’t have to shoulder his failings, too. But at the same time, we can't exactly judge him based on assumption. You did say that he was very nice to the kids at the park. All I'm saying is this: Maybe… maybe it’s not about telling them everything all at once. But tell them something. They do have a father.”Sarah shook her head. “I thought I could delay this just a little longer. I’m not ready for them to look at me and wonder if I kept something from them that matters. But then I feel like it's about to happen.”“You didn’t keep it to hurt them. You did it to protect them. There’s a difference.

CHAPTER 68: The card fate dealt himThe study was dimly lit, with shadows stretching across the pristine walls like silent witnesses to the storm raging inside his turbulent mind. His grip on the whiskey glass was so tight, that one might fear the glass might break. The amber liquid inside swirled as though it might offer some semblance of clarity. But tonight, there was no clarity. In fact there hadn’t been any clarity for weeks.Leaning back in his chair, eyes staring unfocused at the floor. His head felt rather very heavy, the weight of the last few days pressing down on him, like a barrier had just been lifted, and an avalanche had suddenly fallen on him. He had never planned or imagined that the press conference would make any difference. Or even planned that the work trip would be an occasion that would mark a turning point, a chance to make things right with her, to try to get to know her better. But it happened. And then, just like a curse, everything had turned around for the

CHAPTER 70: You won't know unless you try"You can’t give up before you even try. Don’t let the fear of rejection stop you from going after what you want."Edward stared at his glass for a long time, his thoughts clouded by alcohol and frustration. "I don’t know if I can fix this," he murmured, more to himself than to James. "I don’t know if she’ll ever look at me the way that I want her to… ever. I wish that…" his voice trailed off, and his hand tightened around the glass. “I really messed up, James.”James stood up, crossing the room and grabbing Edward’s glass, his movements steady despite the tension in the air. "You won’t know unless you try. But right now, you need to sleep this off. We can talk more when you’re sober."He had had enough alcohol. It did not help the issue. Only made him stew in his misery and regret his mistakes. It helped him wallow in self-pity and that was not going to help in any way, too. He was aware that if he let him, his friend might stay the whole nig
