Seeing Briana Cameron about to turn and leave, Maxim hurriedly stepped forward, holding up the mung bean cake in his hand to her, smiling and saying, “This is from your favorite pastry shop, I queued for a long time.”
Seeing him present the mung bean cake to her as if it were a treasure, his eyes full of anticipation for her praise. Briana Cameron couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.
He clearly showed so much love for her, his eyes were full of her, but why did he have to lie to her because of another woman, making her
upset.
“I didn’t feel like eating today. I went upstairs first.”
Noticing Briana Cameron’s cold demeanor, Maxim frowned, grabbing her hand and whispering, “Briana, are you upset? Is there a problem at work?”
“It’s okay, just a bit tired.”
She broke free from Maxim’s grip, turned around and headed straight upstairs. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Maxim watched her retreating figure for a while, then suddenly spoke, “My dinner companion tonight was Aurora, the daughter of a client from the Yoder Group. Did you know about this?”
Briana Cameron’s back stiffened for a moment, and Maxim instantly confirmed his thoughts.
“Briana, it was wrong of me to lie to you about this. Could you give

me a chance to explain?”
Hearing Maxim’s voice sound somewhat humble, Briana Cameron couldn’t help but frown, turning back to look at him.
“When you came back, I had asked you. That was the opportunity I was giving you, but you missed it.”
Maxim quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of guilt. “Briana, I’m sorry Tonight was supposed to be a dinner arranged by an elder. I didn’t know it would just be me and Aurora. But I’ve already explained to her. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to overthink.”
Briana Cameron pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uneasy. However, upon seeing the sincere gaze, she chose to believe.
“Alright, I’ll forgive you this time. but if you deceive me again next time, I won’t let you off easily!”
“Mm–hmm.”
Maxim reached out and pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with guilt.
“I definitely wouldn’t lie to you again in the future.”
Briana Cameron couldn’t help but curl her lip, saying irritably, “Mr. Yoder, don’t make promises lightly, because it’s easy to end up with egg on your face.”
The corner of Maxim’s mouth curled into a smile, “No.”
“Alright, I’m going to wash up and go to bed, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
“Didn’t you want to eat some of your favorite mung bean cake?”
“No more eating, I’m on a diet!”
Watching her haughty demeanor, a smile involuntarily crept up the corner of Maxim’s mouth, “Alright, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t. I have a few documents to go through, I’ll come up to accompany you once I’m done.”
“Mm–hmm.”
After Briana Cameron went upstairs, the smile on Maxim’s face gradually turned icy. He immediately returned to his study and made a call to Cosmo.
“Mr. Vanderberg. I only agreed to return to the Vanderberg family, not to go on blind dates. I hope you won’t do such boring things in the future!”
Cosmo’s voice was filled with displeasure. “What do you mean, Mr. Vanderberg! I am your father! Aurora is of equal social status as you, and she likes you. What’s wrong with being with her? In the future. both the Vanderberg Group and the Fredrick Group will be yours!”
Maxim sneered, “Whether it’s the Vanderberg Group or the Fredrick Group. I have no interest whatsoever. I advise you to give up this idea sooner. my wife will only be one, and that is Briana Cameron!”
