Three
After a while, the trio had moved into another room. Max was seated on a sofa facing Pauline, and Aunt Su, who had an awkward look on her face.
She had just finished telling him that Pauline indeed had no ill intent behind her words.
Her father was monogamous, and her grandfather was the same. So, when she saw other people who had multiple wives, or multiple men for that matter, she would become curious if they loved each other as much as his mother and father, and his grandmother and grandfather loved each other, or were together just for benefits or status.
"So, you just wanted to test us?" Max said as he gave her a look that made Pauline fume in embarrassment.
"Yes." She glared at him, "But I hadn't expected her and you to react so violently. No one else had acted the same even if I said even meaner things to them."
As she said this, she subconsciously touched her shoulder blade that had now recovered thanks to Aunt Su's healing potion.
