The next second, he answered in a flat voice, “I’m good. One of my relatives lives here. I’ll stay in his place tonight.”
Hearing that, the guy was struck dumb for a second.
“Oh, that. Is it far away? We need to get up early tomorrow morning. Can you get over here on time?”
“Sure,” said Max with a stony face.
He nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.
“Alright, safe drive.”
After that, he walked into his room alone.
Laura, who was opening the door, heard everything.
After she opened the door, she looked back and saw Max standing there. Hands in pockets, he was smiling at her.
Laura put on a serious face and gave him a glare.
She didn’t bother to say anything to him and directly went into her room.
Without delay, she closed the door and locked it up.
Once it was done, she clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Max, how dare you come here without my permission. Let’s see what you can do now!
Laura threw her bag aside at ease, then walked to have a shower.
Max didn’t expect her to lock up the door.
He actually had prepared a spare key card to her room so that he could come when there was no one around.
But unexpectedly Laura shut him out!
Because the door was locked up inside, he couldn’t open it with the key card from the outside.
After thinking for a while, Max suddenly turned around and walked out.
He knew his abrupt visit had annoyed her.
If he forced her to open the door at this moment, she would only be angrier.
In order not to anger his wife, Max decided to take a flanking maneuver to avoid arguing with Laura face to face.
Right after Laura finished the shower, singing along her way out of the bathroom, she saw a shadow climbing up the window of her room.
She was stunned and stiffened all over.
The next second, she screamed,
“AHHHHH! Ghost...”
But before she could say another word, the man at the window quickly jumped down and covered her mouth.
“Stop it, stop it. It’s me.”
It was a familiar voice. Laura was surprised and finally saw who the man was.
In an instant, she got furious.
“Max, what’s wrong with you? Why did you climb up the balcony in the middle of the night? I was almost scared to death!”
Max, however, looked aggrieved.
“You think I like climbing up windows? But you locked up the door, honey. I couldn’t get in.”
Saying that, he even blinked at her with his puppy eyes.
Laura was taken aback.
She felt speechless right now.
Max was right.
She indeed had locked up the door. He couldn’t get in unless he climbed through the window.
But her room was on a very high floor. It must be super dangerous that he climbed up here.
Thinking of that, Laura was mad again.
Max understood his behavior was unacceptable.
He didn’t want Laura to be mad, so he immediately said something comforting to her, “Alright, alright, I know I shouldn’t have done that. Please don’t be mad at me, baby.”
Laura understood it was too late to be mad now.
