Chapter 89
“Spencer, you go ahead and have a good chat with Max. I won’t intrude,” she said with a considerate tone.
Spencer nodded, ending the call and feeling all the more appreciative of Lillian’s sensibility.
Spencer looked up at the firmly shut door with a flicker of disdain in his eyes. He must be out of his mind to come all this way for a woman like that.
Brielle? She was worth this hassle?
His face darkened, and without hesitation, he turned on his heel and strode away, unaware that on the other side of the door, the workaholic ‘Uncle Max‘ had a woman sitting on his lap.
Brielle’s hands were still looped around Max’s neck, her head resting against his chest. Max’s palm gently caressed her back before he firmly grasped her chin, forcing her to look up. “You’ve been crying?”
He didn’t know the ins and outs of Brielle’s entanglement with Spencer, only that they were once engaged. As for their past affection, he couldn’t care less.
Brielle, with top honors from Beaconsfield College, a stunning face, and formidable work skills, was certainly more than a match for Spencer.
“Still hung up on him?”
Brielle almost retched at the thought. Her, liking Spencer? Impossible.
Her distress was only due to the shock of seeing someone she had known for over a decade change so drastically, as if her entire past life were a facade now cracked to reveal its true nature.
But Max’s misunderstanding wasn’t such a bad thing. After all, compared to the minor discomfort she felt toward Spencer, her emotions for Max were a tumultuous wave.
It may be better to let the misunderstanding continue. It was better than letting others know about those budding delusions.
“Yes, we were engaged for over a decade. How could I not have feelings for him?”
The pressure on her chin increased, and she winced in pain. Max’s eyes darkened, not understanding why he felt a pang of anger.
“You seduced me while still harboring feelings for him. Brielle, are your affections that cheap?”
The fleeting emotion vanished, and he lifted her in his arms, positioning her so as not to hurt her legs.
Getting angry over a caged canary, especially one with someone else in her heart, was pointless. He was to enjoy the moment and nothing more.
