Hearing Emily trying to console him, Max came to his senses and felt warm in his heart. He placed his hands above hers on his cheeks and gave her a dazzling smile. "Yeah. You are right. This will be a new beginning for me."

Max was stunned when he saw her grin, which enhanced her cold beauty by several folds. Unconsciously, his hands left hers and cupped her cheeks.

This made Emily snap out of her smug daze and she blinked her big, misty eyes, and gazed down at him, looking puzzled and asked. "What are you doing? Why are you touching my face like this?"

"Um…" Max was left speechless for a moment before he blushed and coughed. "Nothing. You looked just too adorable, so I couldn't stop myself. Why? You don't like it?"
