Chapter 123: Outing (1)

–––One month later–––

Max woke up in Anna's embrace like usual. They treated it as something normal now. Unlike initial days where they would end up unintentionally in each other's arms while sleeping, now they would hug each other before sleeping.

There was one time when Max returned late in the night because of training. He thought Anna would be sleeping but when he came back, she was waiting for him.

When he asked her why she didn't sleep even though it was almost midnight, she pouted cutely and said while holding her hands towards him 'I tried but without you being by my side, I couldn't. Quickly eat your dinner and come here. I need to sleep.' Max almost laughed seeing her act like a spoiled child.

"You finally woke up." Anna who was staring at him while laying by his side said smiling.

"Hmm. Good morning" Max nodded while caressing her cheek.
