Chapter 294

I bought an engagement ring for Max, and when Max was showing it off, I found out that my previous miscarriage had left me with complications, and I might not be able to have children.

After Claude got out of the car, I didn't continue the conversation we'd been having. Instead, I leaned back and said, "I'm a bit tired."

Max didn't say anything, just sat quietly, letting me lean on him.

But I couldn't help myself from speaking again, "Those people today were targeting me. They thought since we haven't announced our relationship, you wouldn't stand up for me. They were testing to see if you'd come to my rescue."

He gently squeezed my fingers, "I know. You've handled it really well."

I lowered my eyes slightly. I had made my point pretty clear.

I was hinting at when we would officially announce our engagement.

But it seemed like, despite being together for so long, he never brought up such things.

Perhaps it's because he still has the responsibility of being the heir to the Serythia family, and maybe a fiancée? But didn't he already have Garrett take over those heir duties?

I didn't press further, just let the scent of his cologne lull me into a nap.
