Helanie:
"Charlotte, she came here to meet me—who the heck told you to yell at her?" Maximus lost it out of the blue, yelling so loud that it made her face turn pale.
"Maximus, please calm down," The minute I turned to look at him, he checked his behavior.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled like a lost puppy, lowering his head sadly.
"Are you serious? You're way too nice to her," Charlotte complained, and Maximus gritted his teeth at her.
"I'll go check if Emmet is done showering. I wanted to check on him anyway," I quickly added, hoping Charlotte wouldn't think I came here only for her fiancé. But before I could leave, I turned to Maximus and smiled at him. "You can't blame me for everything. Her standing here should remind you of something."
It was my way of telling him that he can't expect me to still be crazy in love with him after he decided to accept my abusive cousin.
