"If people find out who you are, I will protect you."
Those words were like a cold shower on Emmelyn's weary and tired self. It was so refreshing. She looked at Maxim deeply and found seriousness in his eyes. Gosh... she knew he meant what he said.
Suddenly, Emmelyn felt there was something different from the way Maxim was looking at her. Why didn't she realize this before?
He looked... smitten. Was this real? Or was her mind playing tricks on her?
Emmelyn looked away and muttered, "Thank you."
She couldn't keep looking into the man's eyes without having this weird thought that maybe... maybe Maxim was in love with her.
Don't think too highly of yourself, Emmelyn chided herself.
She was not an arrogant girl who thought the world revolved around her and that all men would fall in love with her.
Even though she was currently mad at her husband, but the fact remained, she was still a married woman. She shouldn't think about other men.
