Chương 629: Maxim Is Fed Dog Food

Maxim rose from his chair when Horatio announced the arrival of Emmelyn and Mars.

The king narrowed his eyes in annoyance when he realized Mars was carrying Emmelyn dotingly in his arms when they entered his private dining room.

It looked like a full display of affection to him and Maxim had to calm down his boiling heart. 

He told himself it was because Emmelyn was still too weak to walk on her own, so Mars Strongmoor had to carry her like they were newlyweds who just entered their home for the first time.

"How are you?" Maxim greeted Emmelyn politely.

Horatio quickly opened two chairs for Mars and Emmelyn. Mars gently put down his wife on one chair, across from Maxim and took the chair next to her.

Maxim sat back on his seat and sipped his wine to calm his nerves. He said in a flat tone, "You can sit on his lap if it's difficult to sit on your own."
