Chapter 145

Katniss glanced over and saw the Wesley family chilling in the front row.

She grinned, her eyes turning into little crescents.

Maximilian walked over with her, but just as they started chatting, someone came to get him.

It was Carlton's butler, saying Carlton needed to talk to him.

Before leaving, Maximilian told Katniss, "Have fun and take care."

Katniss felt a jolt in her heart, sensing some hidden meaning.

Did Maximilian know something?

She didn't want to think about it. She walked over to the Wesley family.

"That outfit looks amazing on you, Katniss," Daphne said, checking her out with delight.

Wesley smiled too. "Looks like you've put on some weight. How are things with you and Maximilian?"

Katniss felt warm inside at Wesley and Daphne's concern. They really cared about her. They noticed the little changes in her—she had gained some weight.

But her biological family would just scold her for embarrassing the Manners family.

With a gentle smile, Katniss replied, "Maximilian treats me well. Otherwise, how could I be this well-fed?"

Clara quickly noticed Katniss with the Wesley family.

Especially when she saw the dress Katniss was wearing, her perfectly made-up face showed shock.
