After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 144

Chapter 144

After dinner, Katniss hurried back to her room. The sound of water running in the bathroom made her a bit uneasy.

Tonight, instead of heading to his study to work, Maximilian went straight to the bathroom for a shower.

With Maximilian back, were they going to share the bed again tonight?

Katniss lay down, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, even tucking the edges under her body.

She didn't want to end up in Maximilian's arms again, touching him in her sleep.

With such a tight wrap, it should keep her restless limbs in check, right?

After a while, the water stopped, and Maximilian came out in a bathrobe. He casually dried his hair and looked at Katniss, who had bundled herself up, and was momentarily stunned.

"What are you doing?" he couldn't help but ask.

Katniss squinted at him, "This way, I won't disturb your sleep."

Maximilian pursed his lips and continued drying his hair, "Sleep early. Tomorrow is Desmond's engagement party. As my wife, you need to attend with me."

"Okay." Katniss blinked, catching the underlying implication, "What about you? Aren't you going to sleep early?"

Maximilian said indifferently, "To the study."

To the study?

Working all night again?

Did Maximilian even listen to what she said!

Katniss quickly looked up and gave him a stern lecture, "You haven't rested properly for two or three days. You can't work anymore, Maximilian. Let's go to sleep, okay?"

Then, Katniss silently moved to the other side of the bed, pointing to the large empty space beside her, "This is your spot."

After a moment, she grabbed a cartoon plush toy from the bedside table and placed it in the middle, "This is the boundary line. I absolutely won't cross it."

Maximilian glanced at the cartoon plush toy in the middle with indifferent eyes and lay down expressionlessly.

Seeing him really lie down, Katniss was a bit stunned.

And somewhat relieved, finally, he obeyed.

Katniss contentedly lay back down and began to try to fall asleep, but after turning off the lights, her sense of hearing became more sensitive.
