Secret Crush novel Chapter 70

In case of getting into the trouble, Leila didn't want to get into the room. The rain fell on the eaves and fell like a curtain of rain, beating happily to the ground. Leila held her arms and squatted in front of the door. She preferred to wait outside than staying in the room awkwardly.

However, it seemed that Max didn't notice the existence of Leila at all. While Rosa was still talking about her childhood, he checked the time subconsciously and frowned.

‘Why hasn't she come back yet?’

"Max, at that time you were so different from who you are now..."

As Rosa spoke happily, she was totally lost in her memory. When Rosa found Max raise his hand and see the time on his wristwatch, she finally withdrew her mind. With a slight smile on her face, she asked in a low voice, "Max, are you waiting for someone?"

"It's time for her to come back," said Max, looking at Rosa indifferently.

Even if there was no clear explanation about who was "her", who else could live in the Max's apartment in the whole D city?

Rosa looked a little pale, but still maintained a graceful smile. She whispered, "Make a call and ask?"

Max pursed his lips and said, "It's getting late. I'll ask Mr. Zhang to send you back."

Rosa opened her mouth, trying to say something. But his words have stopped her, so she said softly, "Okay."

"Retreat for the sake of advancing" was her strategy seven years ago, and also her current one. Compared to her great success seven years ago, this time, Rosa was not in a certainty. On the contrary, she was a little uneasy. And this uneasiness came from a woman, who was exactly Leila that Max has mentioned as “her”.

Max walked to the door of the apartment and stopped there. A complex emotion surged in his eyes. He looked at the little woman squatting on the ground in front of him. She didn't seem to be aware of his existence. She stretched out her small white hands to meet with the rain.

Although the scene was unbelievably beautiful, his anger was still rising. ‘She has already come back? Why didn't she come in?’

In the end, Leila felt a very low pressure. When she turned around, she saw a pair of deep eyes. She suddenly stood up from the ground, but because of squatting for a long time, she felt dizzy.

If it were not for Max's quick eyes and agile hands, the puzzled little woman would have fallen into the rain. With his eyes darkened, Max felt her softness in his arms and half of his inexplicably angry was gone.

When Leila came to her senses, she broke free from his arms hurriedly. "I'm sorry."

Hearing that, Max pulled Leila’s retreating body back again. A gentle voice came from behind, "What's wrong?"

When Rosa saw that Max stood in front of the door for a long time and the scene was half covered by the door, so she didn't see Leila. When Rosa approached, she was surprised. Then she smiled slightly, "Miss Leila, you have been back."

Leila nodded. She could do nothing but smile in embarrassment for she was held tightly in the arms of Max.

"Miss. Rosa, are you feeling better?"

After a moment's consideration, Rosa smiled and said, "Don't worry. Max also knows it. It's my old problem. You were too nervous that day."
