Chapter 439
There were no dreams that night.
Waking up the next morning, Briana was taken aback by the magnified handsome face in front of her, only then did she remember what had happened the night before.
She shifted, intending to pull away from Maxim’s embrace, but as soon as she removed his hand from her waist, he opened his eyes.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Briana pursed her lips, about to speak, when Maxim closed his eyes and pulled her into his arms.
“Sleep a bit longer.”
His voice was somewhat hoarse, yet it carried an inexplicable allure.
“Since you were awake, please let go of me, I needed to get up and wash up.”
After two seconds of silence, Maxim opened his eyes to look at Briana, his gaze clear and lucid.
“Briana, I still remember what happened last night, you didn’t say you didn’t want me.”

Briana lowered her gaze, “Even if I still have feelings for you, I don’t want to be with you anymore.”
Maxim unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, whispering, “I can a**ure you, once Isaac’s matter is over, I will cut ties with Kiley and never a**ociate with her again. The day she came to me, she intended to exchange some videos of Isaac she had secretly filmed for 1% of the shares in the Yoder Group.”
“It was indeed my mistake to forget my phone at that time. I will definitely keep my phone within my sight in the future, okay?”
His voice was deep, and he spoke each word with utmost seriousness.
A thought crossed Briana’s mind. In fact, after knowing what had happened during her absence, she no longer held any resentment towards Maxim.
She was disappointed in him for not answering her call, but she also realized that it must have been the toughest time for him, and she wasn’t there for him either.
