Chapter 110

The place was dead quiet, except for Katniss's occasional sobs.

Maximilian just patted her back gently, staying silent and just listening. He knew what was up with Kieran.

He also knew Katniss had orchestrated the smooth divorce.

But no one saw it coming when Saskia jumped off the building.

When Katniss finally stopped crying, she felt a bit embarrassed. She realized she had soaked Maximilian's clothes, making them all wrinkled and unwearable.

"Take off your clothes, I'll wash them for you," Katniss said, her voice still thick from crying.

Maximilian looked at her for a moment, then smiled, "Alright."

He took off his coat and handed it to her.

Katniss took it, feeling the warmth from Maximilian's body still on the coat.

"Do you have a spare set of clothes in your car? It's cold now, you shouldn't catch a chill," she asked, concerned.

After he took off his coat, she noticed he wasn't wearing much underneath, just a dark blue knit sweater. She thought for a moment, then dug into her bag and pulled out a scarf.

She reached out and wrapped it around him, "Wear this, it'll keep you warmer."

Girls' stuff always had that soft, fragrant scent. Maximilian wasn't used to it, but he didn't refuse.

"Are you done talking, Katniss? Come with me!" Brent suddenly appeared, looking stern as he called her over.
