After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 305 You Need to Apologize for This Matter

After swapping numbers, Maximilian and Katniss were about to head out when Desmond called out, "Hey, bro."

"Yeah, what do you want?" Maximilian's tone was anything but friendly.

"Dad wants to see you. He's been thinking about you a lot lately," Desmond said, hesitating before finally getting the words out.

Gabriel had mentioned this several times, but Desmond hadn't passed it on to Maximilian until now. Seeing him in person, Desmond forced himself to push through the awkwardness and bring it up.

Maximilian gave him a casual glance and nodded, "Got it."

He didn't agree or refuse, just acknowledged he'd heard it. This left Desmond a bit confused. He wanted to say more, but Maximilian was already leading Katniss away. Brynn asked, "Is that your brother? Maximilian? And Katniss is his wife?"

She had been chatting with Katniss earlier, and Maximilian had been standing by her side. She could guess their relationship, but the fact that Katniss was Maximilian's wife still shocked her.

"Yeah," Desmond answered, feeling a bit uneasy.

Brynn didn't know much about the Manners family, which was why she could ask such a question. If Brynn knew that Katniss had once been Desmond's fiancée, she would be even more surprised.

Brynn sighed, "Impressive people always seem to end up with impressive partners."

Desmond didn't like this comment, but he had to admit that both Maximilian and Katniss fit the description.

However, thinking about what Katniss had done to Clara, Desmond couldn't help but feel a deep-seated dislike for her. If it weren't for Katniss, he and Clara wouldn't be in their current situation.
