Chapter 566 He Won’t Leave Tonight
Hearing that, Laura froze. Then she thought of something, pushed Max away, and quickly ran out.
On the balcony, the wind was howling and it was raining heavily. Laura was pushed against the glass
door by the wind as soon as she went out. She grunted and suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
Max looked at the sky and said in a low voice, "There's going to be a storm."
"I know." Laura could barely keep her eyes open, "My succulents are out there."
She bought them the other day. She loved them and took care of them carefully.
People always wanted to have some plants or animals to gain hope in difficult times.
Watching them thrive, people would think that the future was bright.
Laura was about to rush out when Max looked at those potted succulents on the balcony and pulled
her back, "Hold on to the glass door."
He rushed out and quickly brought them in. Then he closed and locked the door.
Laura found some scotch tape, which they used to hold the large pieces of glass together to prevent
the typhoon from shattering them. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The wind was howling outside but it was silent in the house.
Laura was a little embarrassed. She yelled at Max earlier, but he helped her close the window. She
shouldn't have done that.
She smiled awkwardly, "Can your driver come here in this heavy rain?"
Max cleared his throat and pulled out his phone, "I'll call him."
When the driver picked up, Max glanced at Laura and saw that she was staring at him, so he had to
ask seriously, "Where are you? When will you be here?"
The driver who had been waiting downstairs was a little confused, "Mr. Nixon, I've been here for a long
time."
"What? The road collapsed? You are blocked? All right, you don't have to come. It's a typhoon. Be
careful!"
The driver was speechless.
Max hung up the phone and shook his head helplessly.
"The heavy rain caused a landslide. It seems that I'll have to stay here tonight."
He said as he sat down on the couch.
Laura immediately tensed up and had a bad feeling.
She hurriedly stumbled, "Well... There is only one room. The other room is full of clutter. It's too late to
clean it. Anyway, there is a hotel nearby. How about you stay at the hotel tonight?"
She asked in a tentative tone, but it was obvious she was rejecting him.
Max gave her an expressionless look, but the look in his eyes was cold.
"You want me to go to the hotel?"
Laura immediately nodded her head.
She was afraid of offending him, so she gave a wry smile and added, "Well... I'm afraid that you won't
be comfortable staying here. After all, you're used to living in a big fancy house. Here is small and
dilapidated. I don't want you to suffer."
Max stood up and sneered, "It's okay. If you're really worried about me suffering, why don't you serve
me well tonight? Maybe I'll be happy and give you a big house. What do you think?"
He reached out and gently lifted her chin as he spoke.
Laura stiffened and subconsciously took a step back to avoid his hand.
Max's fingers froze in mid-air.
Laura looked down and forced a smile.
"No, you can stay here if you really want to. I'll clean up a room for you."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
Max looked at her back and narrowed his eyes slightly. He withdrew his hand and laughed silently.
Laura quickly cleaned up the room for him.
For him? It was not quite accurate. After all, she knew his temper.
Usually, she was the only one living here. There were two rooms, but she only slept in one room and
the other room was full of clutter.
The bed was piled up with paper boxes. She had just removed them and made the bed.
It looked neat and tidy now, but she dared not propose him to sleep in here.
So she let him sleep in her bedroom and she slept in this room.
Max didn't say anything and went to his room to rest.
Maybe it was because she was not used to this bed or she had something on her mind.
Laura tossed and turned all night. She even dreamed in the middle of the night of a scene long ago
when her father had just died.
Life was hard and painful back then. Her mother dragged her through the mud.
She knew she might not have to care or do anything in her life but she must take care of her mother.
The hard years were in the past and everything was now okay.
She was willing to sacrifice everything as long as she could cure her mother's illness.
The dream was deep and long.
In the silence of the night, a hot tear slid down from the corner of her eye. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A man's low sigh suddenly sounded in the darkness.
Max reached out, gently wiped her tears, and tucked her in before turning away.
It was the next morning when Laura woke up.
The sunlight poured in through the windows and the room was warm.
She squinted, stretched, and suddenly remembered that Max was still in the next room.
Startled, she sat up right away and glanced at her phone. She found that it was 9. Her countenance
instantly changed.
She had a bad feeling and got up in a hurry.
However, when she got dressed and hurried to the next room, she found that Max had left.
There was no one in the room. The quilt was cold.
It meant that he left a long time ago.
Laura was relieved, but she didn't know if she should be relieved or frustrated. She had mixed feelings.
But it was good that he had left. At least he wouldn't try to mess with her.
Therefore, she didn't think much about it. She just assumed that Max left. She didn't even call him
before she went to wash up.
Then she made some breakfast.
It was about 10.30 after breakfast and Nicole came to pick her up.
These days Maria didn't arrange any special work for Laura. There was only an interview.
