After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 119

As they wandered through the market, the awkwardness Katniss expected for Maximilian never showed up. Instead, he got more and more excited, wanting to check out and touch everything at every stall. His curiosity was off the charts.

With Maximilian's striking looks, every stall owner they met would strike up a conversation, complimenting his appearance.

Some even asked if he had a girlfriend, offering to set him up with someone.

During these moments, Maximilian would look lovingly at Katniss, and soon enough, half the farmers' market knew that the handsome guy in the wheelchair was married, and his wife was Katniss. Katniss was baffled. How did a simple grocery run turn into a public announcement of her marital status to everyone?

What if they got divorced in the future? How would she deal with that?

Especially now, with Maximilian charming everyone with his looks and gaining sympathy for his mobility issues. If they split, she'd definitely be blamed for abandoning him and be labeled heartless. After they finished shopping, Katniss made up her mind not to come back here again.

Once in the car, Maximilian seemed thrilled with the trip, smiling as he said, "The produce here is super fresh, and the people are really nice. Let's come back next time."

Conrad, who was driving, was stunned. Did Maximilian even know how to tell if the produce was fresh?

Didn't he not even know the names of the vegetables?
