Chapter 175

Max hugs me from behind and showers my back and shoulders with kisses, gently waking me up

"Can't I sleep a little more?" I complain, wanting to snuggle with him more

His left palm-his very large palm-covers my stomach. Warmth spreads around my body. "You have been sleeping all morning. You usually get up early. Are you sick?" He sounds concerned. "Do you want me to call 112 or take you to the ER?"

His brows furrow. "Just one?" "For now."

always like this?" I narrow my eyes. "What do you mean?" "So easy to talk to? So easy to...be with."

"T don't think so. I used to push everyone away, which led to me losing most of my friends. Not being with those you love is awful. For the first time in my life, I am trying to be genuine."
