Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1675

Chapter 1675: After what she’s done, he’s still willing to help.

Meanwhile...

Max and Kiara drove past where Hugo and Ginnie were still standing. He drove carefully, staring at the two. Even when they had already passed them, Max still glanced at the side mirror and smiled.

"Heh," he snickered, feeling a bit accomplished.

Kiara, on the other hand, just stared at him from the front passenger seat.

"So, what’s that all about?" she asked, snapping him out of whatever thoughts were running in his mind.

Max glanced at her briefly and then shifted his focus to the road. "Nothing."

"Nothing?" she repeated. "Max, you just dragged me out with you using the excuse of business talks. And now, you’re smiling after leaving those two together."

"It’s really nothing!" he intoned. "And hey, I dragged you out because I do want to talk business with you. I’m expanding my business, and the dropshipping industry is growing very fast."

Kiara blinked. "I still don’t believe you, Max."

"Tch." He clicked his tongue, giving her a side-eye. "I still like you better when we were teens. Back then, you talked less."

"Back then, I held back a lot of things," she corrected. "Now, I see bull and I call it out."

He frowned, but wasn’t surprised by her. He had met Kiara a couple of times in business settings or at exhibits where she tried to expand her business. All casual meetings, and he’d discovered how much this former classmate of his had changed over the years.

Well, he did change too.

"You held back a lot of things too, back then," she pointed out, making his brows rise.

Max shot her a quick glance, only to see her smile.

"I’m glad it seemed you broke free from your own shackles, Max," she muttered. ’It’s a shame he couldn’t turn back time and play more, instead of giving it up altogether.’

Max peeled his eyes from her and set them on the windshield.

For a while, silence dominated the car as neither of them spoke. His thoughts of successfully giving Ginnie and Hugo some time to develop their feelings for each other were gone the second Kiara mentioned that.

He forgot that he went to the same school as this girl and they’d known each other since his earliest memories.

"You too," he said after a long silence. "I’m glad you left."

Kiara chuckled shallowly. "Me too."

"Short hair, huh?"

"Ginnie said it suits me," Kiara touched her short hair, smiling. "It’s... lighter. Easy to maintain."

"But you liked it long, didn’t you?"

She frowned a little. "Who said I liked it that way?"

Max didn’t answer, but he knew she liked her long hair better. Just not that long, but she did like it in a sense. However, when one likes something with some pressure on the side, sometimes the very thing one liked becomes something they hate.
