章 424: Chapter 424 – Don’t Think About It

Max smiled at Ferin, who made herself comfortable and sat next to him.

"I appreciate it, but you don't need to. I have everything in my control–"

"Lies." Ferin cut him off and crossed her legs, "You won't curse if you have everything under control. The fact you, who never whined, did that is because this problem you face is bigger than you ever handled or guessed. Am I wrong?"

'She got me.' He thought, smiling wryly.

Not that it mattered. Max needed this talk, he knew it.

"Promise you won't tell the others?"

"My lips are sealed." Ferin made a gesture sealing her lips and Max nodded.

He took a deep breath and let himself relax.

"Well, something is indeed troubling me." He said, "Have you ever been afraid of the future?"

"Nope! I know the future pretty well, so it doesn't scare me!" She exclaimed, puffing her chest.

When he looked at her with narrowed eyes, she looked back at him with a gentle gaze.
