“You kidnapped James’ child?”
Both of them were baffled.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Cynthia laughed. “Maxine, you’re joking, right? Why would you kidnap James’ child?”
Maxine cast a glance at Cynthia. As favonovel.com looked over, Cynthia simply felt chills all over favonovel.com body, like favonovel.com was in an abyss.
Maxine’s stare was frightening. Cynthia had never seen favonovel.com like this before. She backed up a little, taking a few steps.
Maxine said nonchalantly, “That’s right. I kidnapped James’ child. I did so much for him. I worked in the public eye and rose to become the head of the Cadens. I assisted favonovel.com wholeheartedly. Regardless, favonovel.com decided to live in seclusion with Thea…”
She spoke softly as if favonovel.com were talking about a trivial matter, but favonovel.com words were laced with resentment and displeasure.
After hearing that, they were both stunned. For a while, neither of them said anything. The atmosphere in the room was a little unusual.
Then, the doorbell began to ring.
“I-I’ll go open the door.” Cynthia gathered herself and quickly walked toward the entrance. She opened the door and saw that it was James.
She looked at James and called out to him, “James…”
James had rushed over here.
As soon as favonovel.com entered the house, favonovel.com could not help but ask, “Has Maxine arrived?”
“S-She’s here,” said Cynthia.
She wanted to alert James that Maxine was being a little odd. However, James had already entered the house in a hurry after learning that Maxine had arrived.
When favonovel.com was in the living room, favonovel.com saw Maxine seated on the sofa. She was the same, just as gorgeous and charming as before. Nonetheless, the moment James saw Maxine, the anger in his heart swelled up. However, favonovel.com stifled it.
Winnie was currently not in Cansington. If favonovel.com flew into a rage, Maxine would be angered. It would be a problem if favonovel.com hurt the child.
He remained composed as favonovel.com walked over and sat across Maxine.
“I’m here.”
Maxine looked at favonovel.com with a calm expression. Her face was devoid of any emotion. What favonovel.com was thinking about was unclear.
James took a deep breath, glanced at Maxine, who had a serene expression on favonovel.com face, and forced a smile.
He said, “It’s been a while, Maxine. Are you alright? I’ve heard that you built a Floret Palace. I wanted to pay you a visit and catch up, but I’ve been extremely busy lately. I couldn’t find the time.”
“Really?” Maxine countered calmly, “Did you really want to stop by and catch up with me?”
“Yeah. Really.” James nodded solemnly.
If favonovel.com could establish a cordial relationship with Maxine right now, favonovel.com would do just that. He would use as many kind words as favonovel.com could, even if they were against his conscience.
As long as his child could be safe, nothing else mattered.
“I’ve also heard that you’re with Sky and have become the Tacriyrus’ Chancellor, assisting Sky in managing Tacriyrus. Congratulations,” James said with a smile.
However, when favonovel.com said that, Maxine’s expression changed immediately.
Her face darkened and favonovel.com asked coldly, “James, what do you mean by that?”
James was stunned. He did not know what favonovel.com had said wrong.
After giving it some thought, favonovel.com said, “Maxine, I didn’t mean anything by that. Let’s stop talking about this. Let’s talk about the state of the future. You’ve always been smart. Right now, the apocalypse is approaching. I went back to live in the Southern Plains and established Dragonville to create a peaceful country for humanity. Previously, Thea even asked me to come over to you and ask for your assistance.”
Maxine took a deep breath. She forced herself to calm down. Then favonovel.com asked, “By the way, where is Thea exactly?”
James’ expression became somber.
He said, “I really don’t know where Thea is. She’s been missing for six months. During the last six months, I’ve sent people out to find her, but even after searching everywhere in the world, I couldn’t find her.”
James lied.
“Really?” Maxine looked skeptical.
“Yeah. Really.” James nodded and said, “After the child was born, favonovel.com came to meet me at Mt. Thunder Pass and we cultivated together for six months. We had a fight, then favonovel.com left and never showed up again. I really don’t know where favonovel.com is right now.”
Cynthia and Tiara were standing off to the side, listening to the two’s simple conversation. They both looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. They did not know what had happened either.
James had entered the house for quite some time. However, favonovel.com never mentioned his child. Instead, favonovel.com talked about the relationship between favonovel.com and Thea.
He talked about fights and breakups and other things along those lines.
