Ch. 270 A Test From Max (part 1)
"Didn't you say you weren't avoiding me? Then, why are you stepping back each time I come to you?"
"What do you rent?"
"I want you to believe me."
"Believe what?"
"That I love you."
"..."
Chleo realized that Max avoided her because he thought she had another man in her heart. That's why Max kept his distance from her and was ready to let her go in case Chleo wished to break up.
But this was not what Chleo wanted. She has realized her true feelings, and Max was the only man she wanted.
How does she get the man to believe her? What must she do to let him see her most profound feelings?
"Max, I love you. Even before you returned me to my family, I already loved you."
At first, Max didn't understand what Chleo was talking about. "But you divorced me as soon as I got home."
