Chapter 68

MAXINE'S POV

I woke up alone in bed. I'm tired again—the two of us last night took us until dawn. Intense.

“I thought... You were going somewhere today?” I asked directly when I found him here at the dining table having coffee. I sat on the chair in front of him now and then, we both looked at each other and smiled. 

Then, I just rolled my eyes and looked away, and then I stood up. To cook rice now in our rice cooker.

"Tom, you still haven't answered my question... You said you had a trip today," I sighed as I returned to sitting here in front of him.

Both of his eyebrows rose quickly and then he placed his two elbows on the table now.

"I didn't come." He just shook his head. I didn't ask. Because of knowing that he's too lazy to answer now. I've known him since then.

"How's Kara?" before
