After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 266

On the road, Katniss cautiously turned her head to glance at Maximilian. She looked straight ahead and then asked, "Did you just call Desmond?"

Maximilian's expression was indifferent, "Yes, if he disrespects you, he disrespects me."

Although Katniss felt happy to have someone protecting her, she still asked, "Do you think I'm always causing trouble?"

Maximilian took a moment to glance at Katniss, then continued to focus on driving, "Why would I think that?"

Katniss lowered her head and said softly, "I feel like I'm a bad person who stirs up trouble between you and your brother."

Maximilian smiled slightly and shook his head, "No. I'm very happy that you can talk to me about these things. In the future, if anyone bullies you or makes you unhappy, you can tell me."

"I will help you!"

After saying this, Maximilian thought for a moment and added.

Katniss felt like she could hear her own heartbeat.

Although it wasn't the first time, every time she felt Maximilian's wholehearted protection, she couldn't help but feel elated.

Seeing Katniss's smile, Maximilian also smiled slightly and said nothing more.

After a while, Maximilian drove to their dining destination.

It was a quaint Chinese-style garden, complete with rockeries and small ponds.

They were guided to the second floor by a waiter.

"This is actually a wooden building?" Katniss looked around and found that there were many dining tables, but the entire structure was made of sturdy wood, giving it a very Chinese feel.

Maximilian sat down and explained to Katniss, "Yes. However, it doesn't host many guests, and usually requires reservations several days in advance."

Katniss was a bit puzzled, "So are you a VIP here or did you make a reservation in advance?"

Just as she finished speaking, Maximilian's phone rang.

Maximilian looked at his phone, frowned, and seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.

He first answered Katniss's question, "This place is owned by a friend of mine, and this private room is reserved for us, not for others."

"Having many friends is really nice." Katniss sincerely remarked.

Maximilian smiled and then answered the phone.
