[Did Maxim remain in that location?]When Leo answered the first call that came into his phone this morning, the soft, worried voice was the first voice and sentence he heard.Leo shifted his sleeping position, tilted his head to the right, and looked at the round clock on the nightstand. It is currently 6:07 a.m.It was too soon. His thought process."Lisa? What happened to you? Is it true that he didn't return home last night?"Although Leo despises his hoarseness when he wakes up, he must voice it this time because his phone suddenly rings and even roars several times.Lisa can be heard sighing resignedly — irritably —

A pair of gray eyes stared straight at Maxine. Her cold and sharp look did not shock the girl's heart. There was not the slightest fear radiating in her shiny-looking green irises exposed to the light that slipped from the gap of the door that was wide opened by uninvited guests.The tall and thin woman stepped onto the Kelly Family's dining room. Her age is around her mid or late forties, but her face still looks so beautiful without wrinkles, showing no signs of aging in the slightest.Marta Stone, wife of Jase Stone, and mother of Maxim and Lisa was staring at Maxine with a menacing look — not liking it."I just want to get my son out of this house," Marta exclaimed loudly.Her speech was no less cold than the look of her gray eyes that were as cold as chunks of

Maxine's presence has become one of the few things worth it. Imagining such unnecessary things, Maxim swiftly shook his head.

He finally called me, but I just threw it away. Stupid! Maxim thoughtMaxim roared —screaming in annoyance at the stupidity he had just made. He could have thrown his phone. In fact, there are several photos of Maxine that sh

Lisa chuckled, almost bursting into laughter at the rejection sentence Maxine had just uttered. Although her speech was calm, even her gaze was expressionless, Lisa could clearly see that Maxine seemed to want to say that notification from her was not something Maxim had been waiting for because she was jealous.But in an instant, Lisa clenched her mouth, because Maxine tried hard to break the assumption even though Lisa did not convey it directly."I don't want to be a destroyer of their relationship," she said quietly.Maxine got up from her seat, then walked to the spot where the only long window that matched Maxine's height, just behind Lisa's back. The girl stared straight into the empty streets with dry foliage flying in the wind."I don't want to cause any problem

Daniela and Jase went quiet at the same time. The two turned their backs on each other, forcing their sons and daughters to leave without saying anything. Even Maxine and Maxine no longer press their parents for answers, as if they don't want to bring up subject matters that their parents may have long kept hidden."What did you mean by what you said before, Mom?"Although her tone was slow, she emphasized each syllable she had just spoken. Because of this, Daniela and Liam both came to a halt and placed their feet on the number seven stairs from the bottom.Daniela took a deep breath, too tired to explain all the complexities she was already trying to conceal for the past few years. She wasn't ready to tell her eldest daughter everything. Daniela did nothing else but stare at her daughter, who was standing in the m
