Chapter 103

AYLA

“Tell us more about yourself, Ayla sweetie. We would love to know about your life, hobbies…or anything you like to do. “Calista says, making me sigh.

I place my fork on the plate neatly and pick my head to look at her. Calista and Max are sitting on the opposite side of us, while Massimo sits beside me.

He could have taken any seat on the huge table but he had to stick to my side, making me flinch every

time I find him too close to me.

Lignore the way he reaches for the bowl in front of me and lean back. “I…studied business, and recently graduated.”

“That’s great.” Calista passes me a smile while Max simply nods in acknowledgment.

“Any big plans for the future?” She wonders, slicing a piece of the steak on her plate.

Future? Dad always thought I would love to join his business. I never got to voice out my own plans for

the future. After giving them a scare in childhood, I didn’t want to become a disappointment.

Are you interested in business or do you like something else?” Calista murmurs, before taking a bite

of the steak.

I shrug. “I studied business so I will probably do something related to that. It’s suitable, isn’t it?”

“I… “I trail off and take a sip of water.

“You know, I studied medicine but I loved spending time with plants more than people. ” Calista sighs, a smile adorning her lips.

My brows rise. “You are a doctor?‘

66

Yes, she is.” Max nods, a proud look in his eyes.

“But I am not really good at it.” Calista chuckles. ” Like I said, I prefer the company of plants. That’s why—after I found Max, I started studying botany.”

“You should take a walk in our garden. Calista planted and raised all those flowers, and plants. ” Max speaks up, a warm smile playing over his lips.
