Love Unspoken

Chapter 1459

Maximus Tate caught on and his face dropped. With a dry laugh, he said, "Guess you're not too thrilled with me, huh?" Abigail forced a smile. "Mind if I ask how old you are?"

Maximus touched his thinning hair and said, "I'm thirty-five."

Abigail smirked, "Really? Didn't shave off a couple of decades, did you?"

She pulled out her phone and checked the photo. The guy in the picture and the guy in front of her? Totally different.

Maximus quickly explained, "Seriously, I'm thirty-five. Work's just been rough, so I look older. If you don't believe me, I can show you my ID." Abigail waved her hand and showed him the photo. "Is this you?"

Maximus nodded, "Yeah, but that's from ten years ago."

He used to be a handsome young guy, but now he looked like a different person entirely.

"Isn't this kinda like fraud?" Abigail asked, rolling her eyes.

Maximus said, "How is it fraud? That's me in the photo. I didn't lie. Ms. Vanderbilt, I don't think we're a good match. Let's just call it off."

The photo Maximus got was of a long-haired woman, but the person in front of him looked like a boy.

Before Abigail could bring Quinn out, Maximus had already rejected her. She didn't know whether to laugh or be mad.

Maximus continued, "I prefer a gentle and kind woman. Ms. Vanderbilt, you're not the one for me. Sorry."

He got up and left the café, paying the bill on his way out.

The people Alvin found weren't too weird, but to Abigail, they seemed pretty strange.

After Maximus left, Abigail and Quinn exchanged looks.
