The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1898

Maxwell's voice had not changed much. It was deep and pleasant as always, with a touch of change.

Emily—who had just sighed in relief—was surprised to see Maxwell. Before she could stand up, he sat down beside her.

Since there was no chance of escaping, Emily decided to calm down and looked elsewhere. "May I help you?"

Although Maxwell was sitting next to her, he kept a distance from her so he could take a good look at her.

"I just want to clear the misunderstanding between us," said Maxwell while looking at her.

"Okay, go ahead," said Emily without looking at him.

Maxwell sighed and started to explain, "Back then, there were simply too many misunderstandings between us. You thought that I cheated on you, and I thought that you'd fallen in love with someone else. That was why we were always fighting.

"But I swear, I've never cheated on you. I was too young and short-tempered back then, so when my parents chased you out of the house because of the rumor, I didn't stop them because I was angry with you at that time. The truth is, I've never doubted you and I knew you'd never cheat on me.

"I've been looking for you everywhere since you left. Only recently, I found that Phoebe, the woman I was forced to marry, had been interfering in our relationship. She even sent people to kill you in my name… I'm sorry, Emily. You suffered because of me."

"Are you done?" Emily did not show any trace of emotion on her face after listening to his explanation.

Maxwell was a little taken aback. He then nodded and said, "Yes. Is there anything you'd like to know from me? If so, ask me. I'll explain it all."

"No, thank you," replied Emily calmly as if she had no interest in him anymore.

Maxwell frowned helplessly. He took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Sunny told me that Moonie is going to travel the world for her honeymoon… So I've been thinking. Since we missed Moonie's childhood, maybe we should join the trip and take care of the kids for them? Consider it as making up for lost time with her. What do you think?"
