Bab 822: Red flags

Rudra and Max shared breakfast in uncomfortable silence after the fiance comment was dropped by Sophie. 

Both tactically agreed to change the topic when Sophie pressed for it and Rudra jokingly said that Max was underage for marriage which is why this conversation was pointless for now. 

Although Sophie was not completely convinced she knew better than to pressure Rudra or Max too much on this issue any longer lest she annoy them about it. 

She knew she needed to be systematic in the carrot and stick approach to slowly break Max into marrying her. However it was not a one day process and she needed to give it time. 

Max completely lost any appetite to eat as disturbing thoughts about engagement ceremonies clouded his mind when such things were unnecessary burden to a guy his age.
