Maximus saw the conflicting emotions in her eyes. They were braced with questions and were seeking answers. There was a swirl of emotions running in her eyes. With every passing second, he felt like he was in a hot soup. He was not expecting them to reconcile right now. He was hoping for a small positive reply. Looks like it wasn't working.
His golden eyes started dimming at her reaction. He couldn't understand where did he go wrong. He wished someone to point it out. Maybe he should wait for her to answer his explanation. That way everything would work fine.
