Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 312

I had no intention of engaging with him any further. There was no point in talking to a madman.

As soon as we got off the plane, he forcibly pulled me to his side. He was tall and had a long stride, but he deliberately slowed his pace to match mine.

The airport was filled with posters announcing the engagement of Silas and Lily.

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. After all, Max had only said he was leaving Bravenland with Lily for two days, not that he was coming to Serythia to get engaged.

I turned my head away, trying not to look at the posters, only to meet Babur's mocking gaze.

“Feeling sad already?”

“Not at all.” My mouth was the only thing about me that hadn't given up.

“I’m taking you to eat something your mother used to love.” At a glance from Babur, a driver opened the car door for me.

I knew my life wasn't in danger, so I got in.

This country was even more prosperous than Bravenland, with more skyscrapers, and its city planning was miles ahead of Silverlake City.

No wonder it was the most powerful nation in Greywick.

For a moment, I felt a flicker of doubt. Would Max really give up all his responsibilities here and choose me without hesitation?

When faced with the choice between a greater duty and personal love, no one could make that decision lightly.

I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, leaving Max in such a passive position.

The car moved slowly. Ahead of us, vehicles with national flags were clearing the way, and behind us was a motorcade of guards. It was clear just how high Babur's status was in Serythia.

A line of cars pulled up in front of a very old-fashioned establishment—a dessert shop.

“Lenore used to love sweets and dairy products more than anything.”

I replied coldly, but he still enthusiastically led me into the shop. “Then you can change your tastes. You’ll eat what Lenore liked.”

The corner of my mouth twitched. This kind of obsessive love was suffocating. Once again, I thought my mother was wise not to have chosen him.

He had several sweets brought to me. I took a small bite of each. They were delicious, but I still wrinkled my brow and said, “Too sweet.”

Furious, Babur slammed his hand on the table and shot up. “Impossible! Lenore would never change! She couldn’t possibly change!”

“She was willing to leave you, so of course she could change.”
