SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 93

"Is everything okay?" Hera asked Christina worriedly as they cleared up the table together after dinner. Bryce was somewhere around the house with Max and Christina had offered to help Hera out even though Hera had told her not to worry about it.

"You've been awfully quiet ever since we sat down for dinner and it's crazy because you are never quiet Christina. You love to chat and talk about a lot of things. Are you okay? Is something bothering you?" Hera pressed on while Christina only managed a smile.

"Of course, sis. Everything is okay." She beamed in reply. "I just wasn't feeling chatty during dinner and besides, you used to scold me whenever i talk during meals so what changed so suddenly?"

"I know." Hera breathed out. "I just want you to feel comfortable here so i don't mind if you're chatty. I know that it wasn't easy coming all the way here and i just want you to settle in nicely."

"I am settling in nicely." Christina assured her sister. She definitely wasn't moody because of dinner or coming here. She was really looking forward to coming here until he showed up. The fact that Max was here just didn't sit well with her and with good reasons too.

"Um, Hera can i ask you something?" Christina began and Hera tilted her head slowly to give her attention.

"Of course, go ahead."

"How well do you know Max? I mean Bryce's friend? He seems to be really close to you and you practically called him family during dinner." Christina went on to ask.

"Because he's family. Max is very nice and kind too. He takes care of me and is like a brother to Bryce. He makes sure that I'm okay and always does his best to look out for me. I've never encountered any problem with him around. He's a good person." Hera beamed at Christina before focusing on the dishes.

"So in other words, it means that you trust him, right?" Christina asked and Hera shook her head in agreement.

"Yes i do and i can assure you that you're in safe hands too. He won't let anything happen to you Christina and that's certain." Hera stated firmly and Christina sighed inwardly. How does she tell Hera that the person she trusts so much is not really who he is when she has this kind of opinion and mindset about him? She doesn't even feel safe knowing that he's here.

"Listen," Hera began and Christina snapped back from her thoughts. "I know that it wasn't easy coming all the way here from home. Believe me, it was also hard for me at first but i promise that you'll get used to it with time and while you're here, you don't have to worry about anything. All you have to do is focus on your studies and have fun doing the things that you want to do. You know that I'll always be rooting for you right?"

"Of course i know that. You honestly don't know how happy i am to be here." Christina blurted out and she was right. She had been looking forward to this trip ever since Bryce made that promise to her back then.

That was the only thing that she kept on thinking about. It's just sad that someone like that mad had to ruin it out and what's even more crazier is the fact that she can't stop thinking about it and what he had said.

"When Bryce offered to cover everything about my college process, i felt like i could burst. I promised myself to make the both of you proud. Aside the sisters at the convent, both of you are like my very own parents, my own family and I'm grateful to both of you, especially you Hera for looking out for me all these years." She sniveled and Hera pulled her in for a hug.

"I'll always look out for you Christina and that's because i love you." Hera proclaimed as she smoothered her back affectionately.

"I love you too, Hera."
