Maxim’s expression was indifferent, his voice somewhat eerie and strange.
“Why were you staring at Isaac the whole time during dinner?! Anyone would have thought he was your boyfriend!”
Briana couldn’t help but laugh, raising an eyebrow at Maxim, “Are you angry because of this?”
“Wasn’t this enough?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Enough, enough. But I think it’s because today my grandmother wanted me to introduce a girlfriend to him. However, I didn’t have any suitable ones around me. So, I suggested to my grandmother to throw a welcome party for my cousin and invite the socialites from Bridenville to attend.”
Maxim sneered, “This is hardly a welcome banquet, it looks more like a selection ceremony for a queen.”
Briana: ”
After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Maxim and said, “I noticed you seem to have hostility towards Isaac. Did you have a conflict with him?”
“No, it was simply that we couldn’t get along.”
Seeing that Maxim didn’t look well, Briana didn’t continue to ask further.

Seeing Briana, Kendra’s eyes darkened. Had Maxim really gotten back together with her?!
Understanding that Kendra didn’t like her much, Briana gave a casual greeting, then turned to Maxim and said, “I’m going back to my room.”
Kendra suddenly interrupted her, a smile on her face, “No need, I just came to bring some dumplings I made for Maxim. You can freeze them in the refrigerator later. If you don’t want Auntie to cook, just boil some dumplings to eat.”
Seeing the dumplings handed over by Kendra, Briana was somewhat surprised. not understanding why her attitude towards herself seemed like she had become a different person.
Seeing that Briana didn’t respond, Kendra chuckled and said. “Briana, I admit I had some issues with you before, but I’ve come to realize recently that your relationship is between the two of you, and I shouldn’t interfere.”
Not knowing what she was up to, Briana took the dumplings she handed over.
“Thank you for understanding, Mrs. Yoder.”
Kendra didn’t say anything else, she gave Maxim a few instructions and then left.
After putting the dumplings in the refrigerator, Briana was about to go back to her bedroom to take a bath, but as soon as she turned around, she was blocked by Maxim between him and the refrigerator.
“Mr. Yoder, you…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was kissed by Maxim.

Maxim didn’t let go of her until she was nearly suffocating.
“Move to my bedroom tonight.”
“No, I told you the condition for me staying here was separate rooms for sleeping, you can’t go back on your word.”
He looked down at Briana, her eyes full of determination, without a hint of wavering.
“Alright then.”
Briana pushed him away, laughing, “Mr. Yoder, it’s time for us to wash up and go to bed.”
Maxim held her waist and lowered his head for another lingering kiss.
“This was my compensation for living alone.”
Just as Briana was about to speak, Maxim’s phone suddenly rang
Seeing it was Rayan, Maxim let go of her, “I’ll go get that.”
“Good.”
Maxim walked into the living room to answer the phone. Whatever was said on the other end was unknown, but he quickly hung up and walked into the kitchen.
“There was a problem at the company, I need to go there now, I might come back very late, you should rest early.”
Seeing his gloomy expression, Briana nodded and said, “Alright, you better go now, work is important.”
