Chapter 279

Knowing that Maximilian was worried about her, Katniss nodded instinctively but still

felt uneasy.

Seeing her distracted look, Maximilian knew she probably hadn't taken in what he said. "Don't worry, I'll have someone look into it and let you know if there's any news."

Hearing this, Katniss breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Maximilian."

She didn't stand on ceremony with Maximilian and was genuinely annoyed by the trouble Laura was causing. If Maximilian could find out, it could be prevented in advance.

Maximilian patted her head, "No need to be so polite with me."

Katniss pursed her lips, didn't say thank you again, and a sweet smile she didn't even notice appeared on her lips.

The two of them went home together.

At Golden Crest Estates, Mira had already prepared dinner.

Although Katniss had given Mira a half-month vacation, Mira couldn't stay idle and came back early to help, though she still tried to give the couple plenty of space.

Seeing them return, Mira quickly brought the dishes and soup to the table.

When Katniss went to the kitchen to help Mira, Mira pulled her aside mysteriously and said, "Madam, you must let the sir drink more of today's soup..."

"Is it tonic soup? I'll make sure Maximilian drinks more." Katniss was puzzled but nodded when she saw that Mira had served tonic soup.

Maximilian was also very cooperative, and by the end of the meal, both of them had drunk quite a bit of the soup.

After dinner and washing up, Katniss routinely checked Maximilian's physical condition. Maximilian sat leaning against the bed, letting Katniss examine him, his eyes soft and indulgent.

"Are your legs sore today?"

Maximilian had not only stayed at the company for a long time today but also ran around outside for her after work. She was a bit worried that his legs couldn't take it.

Katniss gently squeezed Maximilian's leg and looked up to ask him.

Her eyes were clean and pure, like those of an innocent deer.

"Not too bad." Maximilian couldn't help but reach out and pat Katniss's head, his voice hoarse when he spoke.

The hair between his fingers was soft, making Maximilian feel a bit flustered.
