After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 64

Maximilian glanced at her and said, "Just put it on my tab."

Katniss raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer, whispering, "Seriously? That's pretty fancy."

Maximilian chuckled softly, not looking embarrassed at all.

Katniss's eyes lit up with joy. Maximilian was so loaded that the cost of these desserts was nothing to him.

After that, Katniss was all over Maximilian, serving him tea and water, always ready to help.

Samuel watched with a scowl, snorting, "A grown man, perfectly healthy, needing a young girl to serve him. I'd be embarrassed to admit it." Ivan nodded, "Samuel's right, it's pathetic! I don't need any help; I eat by myself! My mom says that's what being an independent man is."

As he spoke, Ivan stuck his tongue out at Maximilian.

Katniss quickly explained, "Maximilian is strong and independent too, but he's sick and needs care. Don't you need someone to take care of you when you're sick?"

Ivan furrowed his brows, "But when I'm sick and want to sleep with my mom, my dad says I'm not a three-year-old anymore and need to be independent. He says that's called growing up." Maximilian glanced over lazily and said, "Don't be jealous."

Samuel, clearly annoyed by Maximilian's words, huffed and turned away, then looked at Katniss with a bright smile, "Katniss, you came a bit late. Ivan's grandpa just left, or I could have introduced you."

He added, "I don't think he's that great, even though he's an honorary professor. He's been treating Maximilian's leg for years with no progress, and you're much better."

Katniss smiled modestly, "Samuel, everyone has their expertise. He's an honorary professor. Even if I work my whole life, I might not achieve that."
