Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1198

Chapter 1198: Hopeless romantic

Their last day on the island was great. Fortunately, for their last night, everything went normally well. Since they all arrived at different times, their return flights were also scheduled at different times. Some of them, like Max, Ginnie, and Lily, were supposed to leave earlier than the others. However, with their friends still on the island, they chose to extend their trip.

As a result, the three of them ended up booking the same flight and were the first to leave the island for the airport.

Seated on a bench while waiting for their boarding gates to open, Max's brows twitched. He was trying to kill time by reading a book, but he kept rereading the same paragraph, unable to focus due to constant distractions. When he couldn't take it anymore, he took in a deep breath and huffed.

"What?" Max irritably turned his head to his side, only to see Lily smirking. "If you're going to ask me to carry your bag, I'm not doing it. I've already done plenty."

Fortunately, Butler Lee was kind enough to send some people to take them to the airport. If not for them, Max could already imagine himself unloading Lily's luggage.

Lily leaned back, arms crossed. "Say, Max... did you fall in love with me on the island?"

"What in the - are you still hungover?" he gasped in disbelief. "Hey, whatever strange thoughts you're having, you're completely wrong."

"Am I?" Lily rubbed her chin as she hummed a long tune. "If not, then why were you so kind to me? I mean, I was obviously taking advantage of your inflated and vulnerable male ego, but you didn't mind. I thought you'd lash out somehow, but you just carried every shopping bag we had. Isn't that love?"

"That's called being a gentleman!" he scoffed. "Don't make it sound weird."
