Facade of Love

Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Why Didn’t You Wait for Me?

Hearing my words, Maxwell let out a disappointed sigh. “I’m tired of eating out. I just want some home–cooked food. If you can’t cook, that’s fine. I’ll just grab something quick and head back to my hotel to rest early.”

He had not been back in the country for long and still had a lot to sort out. He had been swamped for the past few days.

Hearing him say this, I could not help but feel a little guilty. He had been a real lifesaver for me, and I had not done much to help him settle in.

I hesitated for a moment, then suggested, “How about coming over to my place for dinner? My mom’s a great cook. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll ask her to prepare. It’ll be nice to have you over.”

His eyes lit up at my words. “Really?” he asked.

I nodded and smiled. “As long as you don’t mind.”

He seemed pleased with the idea and stood up. “Great, I’ll come with you after work.”

With that, he hurried out of my office.

I was a bit taken aback. Had he been eating poorly recently? Why was he so excited?
