Chương 220: Back again

As for Maxim, he did not think too much of it. As displeased as he was with a strange man living with Diana, he did not think that she would be interested in him. 

Only Maxim knew how much of direct and indirect approaches, theft of others' love letters and gifts left at her desk, and impeccable acting skills it had taken him before he was finally able to coax Diana into dating him. 

Maxim remembered the first time he met Diana. She was sweet and her smile was always so bright, totally opposite to how gloomy he used to be. But for some reason, her smile would make him feel sad at times. When she blabbered nonsense about this and that, he would have the feeling that she was hiding something. And the more outgoing she looked, the more closed off she was. He was her only friend. And he remained as ''only her friend'' till they separated.
