Chapter 449 

Max didn’t catch her reply, his gaze lifting to meet hers for a brief moment. Sydney felt pinned in place by that look, her heart racing with fear that her thoughts might betray her. She quickly dropped her gaze. Ms. Haywood isn’t in the best of spirits.” 

She really wanted to say that Brielle’s health wasn’t great either, but Spencer had been clear not a single detail about that day was to be shared with Max

It took a while before Max broke the silence, choosing his words carefully. When she gets back, casually ask her whether she prefers movies or shopping.” 

He’d been trying to get Brielle to go out with him for days, but she always had an excuse.
