Mrs. Adams sat at the table with the trio which ate in silence and observed Sabrina and Ashton. "How do you two know each other?"
Sabrina glanced at Ashton, silently telling him that she will respond. Ashton smiled and gave her a barely noticeable nod in response.
"Ashton is Hunter's close friend, and he joins us on family vacations whenever we bring friends, which is often. We know each other for many years."
"You say that he is Hunter's friend, but I can see that the two of you are close.", Mrs. Adams said suspiciously. She would be blind to miss how the two of them are looking at each other.
"Yes. We are all close.", Max jumped in the conversation before Sabrina could respond.
Max saw Mrs. Adams' disapproval when Sabrina said that she and Jackson broke up, and he does not want to give that woman more ammunition to attack Sabrina. And based on Mrs. Adams' reactions so far, it appears that she is intimidated by Max. Max will use that.
