Fannie was then relieved.
They had dinner at a nearby fancy restaurant.
Neither Laura nor Fannie mentioned that they met Christine at the cafe that afternoon.
In their opinion, it was a difficult problem.
If they told Max, he would be in a dilemma and it wouldn't do any good.
So they might as well not say anything.
Anyway, they hadn't done anything wrong.
As for Christine, they hoped that her attitude would change slowly over time.
They couldn't help it if she insisted on being hostile to Laura.
They couldn't keep pleasing her, could they?
It may not make them get along.
Besides, Laura was too proud to please anyone.
So neither of them felt the need to tell Max about it.
However, someone did that before them.
Max's phone rang while they were eating.
He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from his mother.
The caller ID was "Mother".
The text message was short but aggressive.
"Are you with that woman right now?"
Max looked at it and frowned.
He looked up at Laura and Fannie, who was having a nice time eating.
They were talking about old times and not looking at him.
Max quickly replied.
"What's wrong?"
Christine quickly replied.
"I met her and her mother at the cafe today. So you're supporting them both, huh? Do they think you're stupid? Do they think you're gullible?"
Max's face suddenly darkened.
Maybe the aura around him changed, too.
Laura suddenly felt something was wrong.
She turned her head and saw him staring seriously at his phone and typing.
She raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Max didn't say anything and replied before looking up at her.
The grim look in his eyes became tender instantly.
He put away his phone and smiled.
"Nothing."
Laura frowned.
She knew Max very well and was sure that his mood had just changed.
What happened?
But Fannie was here so Laura didn't push him.
He looked capricious, but he actually lived by his own rules and principles.
So she trusted him.
Laura didn't ask but put some food on his plate.
"Stop looking at your phone. Here. Taste this."
Max picked up his fork and ate.
