Chapter 1823
Maxwell had been here before; how could he forget the ward number? He had asked that on purpose, trying to remind Sonia about his presence.
Still, he couldnt understand why Sonia seemed to dislike him so much.
As Maxwell entered, he kept his eyes on Sonia, trying to see through her thoughts, but she turned away, avoiding his gaze.
Sonia felt uneasy because of the harsh words she had said about Maxwell earlier.
That was why she had turned her head away from him.
But Maxwell thought she was doing this because she truly disliked him.
She wouldnt even look at him.
Maxwell, his face betraying no emotion, set the gifts down and asked, Is Holden here? I came partly to see a certain ungrateful woman and partly to discuss a project with Holden.
Everyone in the ward immediately realized who he meant by the ungrateful woman.
Ariana pursed her lips, feeling the tension, and then replied, Unfortunately, Holden went to the company today. I dont think hell be back until noon.
If its urgent, I can give him a call.
The project can wait.
I can come back at noon, Maxwell answered with a steady tone.
Just then, Sonia abruptly stood up and said, Aria, I just remembered I need to handle some things at work.
I have to head back now.
You take care, and Ill visit you once Im done.
Alright, go ahead.noveldrama
Let me know if you need anything, Ariana said, noticing Sonias unease.
Dont push yourself too hard.
Make sure to have enough rest.
Okay, dont worry.Sonia nodded, quickly grabbing her Laptop before rushing out.
Maxwell wanted to call after her, but her hurried exit left him at a loss for words.
It was only after she had gone that he snapped back to reality.
He wanted to catch up with her.
Just then, Ariana stopped him.
Maxwell was puzzled by Arianas action.
Ariana carefully chose her words.
Mr.
Collins, even though Sonia seems carefree, shes actually very sensitive. If you dont truly care about her, its best to keep your distance from her.
Maxwell was sharp, a man who didnt miss the subtleties behind words.
The second Ariana said that, he swiftly replied, I like Sonia.
I really care about her.
Ariana wasnt caught off guard by this admission.
Maxwell had been treating Sonia well recently.
Everyone around them could see that.
Ariana knew that if Maxwell didnt have feelings for Sonia, he wouldnt have done so much for her.
Yet, there was still something she needed to ask Maxwell.
I heard youve got a fiancée in Allemicano? Arianas brow furrowed deeply as she asked the question.
What do you think?
