My Wife Is So Sweet novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547 I'm in This

If Max remembered correctly, it should have been a dozen years since Joris Davies had moved away from Eqitin with his family.

At that time, Laura was around ten.

Which meant, Joris died shortly after he had left Eqitin with his family?

So basically, Laura had grown up without his father while putting up with that scum foster father?

Max couldn't tell whether he was more sorry or regretful at this moment.

He felt sorry for her upbringing, but he was more regretful that he hadn't paid any attention to the Davies Family all these years, nor had he ever thought of looking for her.

Childhood friendship was the purest, but it was easy for kids to forget about it too.

Max always remembered a little girl, who had chased behind him calling him "Max" all the time, but before the moment his soul was touched by her when they met again, he had never thought of looking for her.

People made mistakes all the time. They missed the most important thing or people in their lives unconsciously.

Max went silent. He didn't speak again until Laura was about to get off as the car stopped at her apartment.

"Hold on."

Laura paused, looking back.

Max jumped off the car, walked around the car, and came up to her.

Laura pressed her lips together and asked, "What?"

Max stared at her. For the first time, his charm could no longer be seen in his beautiful eyes, and a note of self-restraint took its place.

He whispered, "Let me come up with you."

Laura was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse him, nodding silently.

She turned around and walked into the building, while Max caught up with her immediately.

It was true that a lot had happened between the two of them, but to be honest, it was the first time Max had visited her place alone.

Laura had always stayed in the apartment Star Entertainment arranged for her. Later, she made some money, but didn't want to move, so she just bought that apartment.

The two of them took the lift to the 18th floor. Laura took out the key and opened the door before they walked in.

Her apartment, which had two bedrooms and a living room, wasn't huge, but was furnished in a cozy and homey way. The rooms were decorated in warm shades.

Laura put her purse down, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and said, "I don't have slippers for men, but only these, so deal with it."

After that, she started to change her shoes on her own.

Max took a look at the pink and floral slippers at his feet, which looked so sweet and cute.

But he ignored them, took off his shoes, and walked in with his socks on.

Seeing him ignore the slippers, Laura was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything but walked in too.

"Do you want some water?"

Max responded yes before she passed a glass of warm water to him.

Max walked around the house, except for the bedroom, and commented, "You have a sweet home. It's perfect for you."

Laura gave a faint smile. "It's just a shelter for me and far from perfection."

This was definitely not something an A-list actress would say. After all, the other A-listers would be living in a mansion and driving a fancy car. None of them would be so down-to-earth as she was.

Max stared at her with a slight frown. After a while, he asked, "Isn't there anything you want to tell me?"

Laura looked up and met his gaze, and the next moment, she looked away.

"Neither relatives nor friends?" He sneered and took a step towards her. "So this is what we are in your eyes? Neither relatives nor friends?"

Laura froze. Suddenly, she found it hard to say what she had wanted to say in the first place.

Staring at Max, she heaved a sigh. "I didn't mean that way."

"I don't care what you mean." Max snorted, "Anyways, now that I know what kind of situation you're in, from now on, I'm in this."

Laura frowned at his words.

It didn't occur to her that he would say so.

However, no one knew her foster father better than her, and that was why she had never told him the truth, so that he could stay out of this.

Laura, nonetheless, was aware that Max had many ways to deal with a rascal like her foster father, but she also knew it would take Max a lot of energy and time to deal with him.

Moreover...

She forced a smile and said, "It's so weird of you to say so. What are we? Why must you step in my business?"

What Laura said awakened Max. Suddenly, he realized something and his eyes darkened.

Laura said with a casual air as she ran her fingers through her hair with a smile, "I have a fiance. Even if I needed help, I'd naturally turn to him. In what capacity are you to help me, Mr. Nixon?"

Max became livid upon hearing her.

Suddenly, he walked up to Laura and trapped her against the wall, saying in a low and stern voice.

"Well, you don't need my help? Then who was grabbing my hand and begging me for help in the bar just now?"

Now Laura was speechless.
