Maximus sat calmly on the sofa as he watched his little wife's expression grow from nonchalant to shock. Ava's brows slightly folded. He could immediately read her thoughts. She was wondering why he was here.
"Ava," Gaulin called out coldly, distracting her from Maximus. "Who is this man? And why is he claiming to be your fiance?!"
Ava's heart skipped a beat before sinking into the pit of her stomach. He told them? Her gaze snapped to Maximus, who sat there unbothered as if he owned the entire room. His face was calm, too calm for someone who was glared at by everyone in the room.
Ava's mouth opened, but no words came out. How was she supposed to explain this without turning the situation into an even bigger disaster? She turned back to Maximus. "What are you doing here, Maximus?" she asked quietly.
