Max's POV
I was so shocked that I had no idea how to react to a girl arguing with me with tears in her eyes. I just took out a tissue and gave it to her.
" I am sorry. I didn't want to hurt you but I don't trust anyone easily. Fine, I will not object your family and your friends but take them in at your own risk.", I said, already regretting behaving angrily.
She thanked me and tried to assure me that whatever I fear would never happen. I agreed with her to assure her but, I know it very well that no one wants and expects the people they trust the most to betray them. No one even thinks like that but, whoever betrays someone, is the person they trusted the most. It was really stupid of Laura to show her strengths and weaknesses to humans.
When we came out, Eliza saw Laura's face and immediately asked her if she cried. Laura answered that she didn't but Eliza already knew the truth.
