"Then what about Maxieno?"
Suri furrowed her brows in perplexed. Her mother's sudden shift of question to Maxieno was unexpected, making her wonder as to why her mother suddenly brought up the man in their conversation. "Maxieno? What's wrong with the man?"
Arielle cleared her throat, and then laughed awkwardly. "It's nothing. Mama is just wondering if you have also tried to talk to him?"
"Do you expect me to talk to that man?" Suri inquired hesistantly.
"Um… maybe? Since Maxieno is a guest who will be staying with us for quite a while… Mama hopes that we have a good relationship with him." Arielle's response carried a hint of uncertainty.
Suri couldn't fathom the purpose of her mother's words. Yet, she nodded and put on a faint smile.
"I… talked to him several times."
Curiosity painted Arielle's face as she leaned in slightly. "Ah, I see. Then, what do you think of him?"
