After her rebirth

On the road, Katniss cautiously turned her head to glance at Maximilian. She looked straight ahead and then asked, "Did you just call Desmond?"

Maximilian's expression was indifferent, "Yes, if he disrespects you, he disrespects me."

Although Katniss felt happy to have someone protecting her, she still asked, "Do you think I'm always causing trouble?"

Maximilian took a moment to glance at Katniss, then continued to focus on driving, "Why would I think that?"

Katniss lowered her head and said softly, "I feel like I'm a bad person who stirs up trouble between you and your brother."

Maximilian smiled slightly and shook his head, "No. I'm very happy that you can talk to me about these things. In the future, if anyone bullies you or makes you unhappy, you can tell me."

"I will help you!"

After saying this, Maximilian thought for a moment and added.

Katniss felt like she could hear her own heartbeat.

Although it wasn't the first time, every time she felt Maximilian's wholehearted protection, she couldn't help but feel elated.

Seeing Katniss's smile, Maximilian also smiled slightly and said nothing more.noveldrama

After a while, Maximilian drove to their dining destination.

It was a quaint Chinese-style garden, complete with rockeries and small ponds.

They were guided to the second floor by a waiter.

"This is actually a wooden building?" Katniss looked around and found that there were many dining tables, but the entire structure was made of sturdy wood, giving it a very Chinese feel.

Maximilian sat down and explained to Katniss, "Yes. However, it doesn't host many guests, and usually requires reservations several days in advance."

Katniss was a bit puzzled, "So are you a VIP here or did you make a reservation in advance?"

Just as she finished speaking, Maximilian's phone rang.

Maximilian looked at his phone, frowned, and seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.

He first answered Katniss's question, "This place is owned by a friend of mine, and this private room is reserved for us, not for others."

"Having many friends is really nice." Katniss sincerely remarked.

Maximilian smiled and then answered the phone.

He frowned, looking a bit impatient, "What's up? I'm busy, we'll talk later."

"The Boleyn family." Katniss didn't ask, but Maximilian explained proactively. Katniss smiled and nodded.

Although it wasn't necessary, such detailed explanations made Katniss happy.

Maximilian was always good with details.

The dishes were served quickly, perhaps because of the status of Maximilian's private

room.

They ordered four dishes.

Although Maximilian was wealthy, he always upheld the virtue of frugality.

He wasn't stingy where it mattered, but he also didn't like wastefulness.

This was something Katniss admired about him.

If she had that much money, she would probably be very extravagant, buying many things she had always wanted.

They ate dinner slowly, chatting about recent trivial matters.

It was rare for both of them to have such a leisurely time to sit down, and Katniss felt particularly comfortable.

As it got darker, the lights outside came on.

Looking outside, the distant Golden Lake was adorned with lights, reflecting shimmering waves.

"You can actually see Golden Lake from here." Katniss was a bit surprised.

The environment here was quiet, while Golden Lake was in the bustling center of Luminous City, always lively and never quiet.

Maximilian explained, "Yes. This place was chosen specifically for its good view. It's a bit far from Golden Lake, but not too far."

Katniss nodded.

The view here was indeed excellent.

Looking out, there were no tall buildings obstructing the view all the way to Golden Lake.

She thought the owner must have put a lot of thought into choosing this place.

After dinner, Maximilian drove Katniss home and reminded her, "If you don't have anything important to do, try not to go out recently."

Katniss was a bit surprised.

Was there some trouble?

Why did Maximilian suddenly say this to her?

Katniss's face fell, and she looked at Maximilian with some concern, "Is it about the Loomis family?"

She thought about how Desmond had accused her of causing trouble for Maximilian at the hospital today.

Maximilian chuckled and shook his head, "Don't overthink it. Go inside, I have some things to do."

Katniss held Maximilian's hand and said seriously, "If there's anything, you must tell me. Don't face it alone, I can be with you."

Seeing Katniss so serious, Maximilian felt warm inside. He hugged Katniss and kissed her forehead, "I know."

Then, Maximilian voluntarily explained, "I need to go to the Boleyn family, you should rest early tonight."

Katniss nodded.

She watched Maximilian get into his car, and as the car disappeared into the darkness, she felt a mix of emotions.

It seemed like she was always well protected by Maximilian.

If the Loomis family really caused trouble for Maximilian because of her, she would

truly regret it.

She never wanted to drag others down, especially not Maximilian.

Maximilian was someone who treated her wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return.

Katniss sighed softly and then turned to go inside.

Before Maximilian arrived at the Boleyn family, Gabriel had already asked the servants several times if he had arrived.

He seemed a bit anxious.

Although the Elise family didn't have a high status in Luminous City yet, they weren't someone the Boleyn family could easily offend.

Moreover, this time, it was indeed the Boleyn family that was in the wrong.

Maximilian parked his car and went straight to Gabriel's study.

The door to Gabriel's study was open, and when he saw Maximilian, he quickly invited

him in.

Maximilian sat down and got straight to the point, "What do you need from me?"

Gabriel smiled and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Maximilian looked impatient, "Just say what you need, I'm very busy."

Gabriel felt helpless.

This son of his was capable but very direct.

As a father, couldn't he show concern for his son?

But knowing Maximilian's temperament, Gabriel got straight to the point, "It's about

Desmond's marriage..."

Maximilian raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Gabriel with a puzzled expression.

Gabriel had no choice but to explain the situation between Desmond, Brynn, and Clara.

After explaining, Gabriel sighed, "You see, I'm doing this for his own good. This guy doesn't do anything right, always caught up in love affairs. Now he's offended the Elise family."

Maximilian didn't comment and went straight to the point, "So, what do you want me

to do?"
