After being held back by her two aunts, Chleo was finally able to be alone with Max. Chleo put a sullen face from the beginning to end, seeing Kinsey constantly unconcerned toward Max while Stanley teased her at every opportunity. From now on, those two were no longer her favorite uncles!
Max chuckled at Chleo's adorable pout. To ease the girl's bad mood, Max rubbed the top of her head lovingly.
"Why are you frowning? I'd rather see you smile."
"I don't buy it. You've been teasing me lately, so I'm not in the mood to smile."
"That's because you're adorable when you pout." Max gently pinched the girl's springy cheeks, which had become his habit. "But for now, I want to see your smile."
Chleo snorted in annoyance, pretending to disapprove of his proposal. Nevertheless, she gave a faint smile only for a moment.
