This look on Nia, made him unable to let go, made him worry endlessly.
Even when he was out doing things, he couldn’t be at ease, wishing he could always keep her in his heart.
"That’s not really a reason, you know."
Nia was stunned for two seconds after hearing Maxwell Peary’s reason. Although moved, she felt a bit awkward.
What kind of reason is that?
It’s just a fact.
In this world, there are plenty of husbands who don’t treat their wives well.
So, what he said just now, just doesn’t hold up.
"Be good, eat, don’t overthink."
Maxwell spoke patiently, then rubbed her hair.
"Do you want to go out for a stroll this afternoon? If not, we can just head back."
He originally intended to stay here a bit longer, but now that sothing happened in Capital Town, he had to go back and handle it.
If he left Nia here alone, he would not be at ease.
So, it’s better to take her with him. Next ti, if she wants to co back, he can bring her then.
Nia thought carefully after hearing Maxwell’s words.
Even though she wanted to go out for a walk this afternoon, but...
Her neck was full of kiss marks.
Ahem!
"Let’s just go back."
Nia decided, and Maxwell nodded.
They happily finished lunch, and Nia handed the bowl to the CEO, then collapsed imdiately.
The big bed was so comfortable and soft, she wanted to sleep on it for three days and nights.
That’s what Nia thought, but reality was too harsh.
With a CEO beside her, the bed turned into a nightmare.
"Don’t lie down right after eating."
Maxwell frowned unhappily, then reached out to pull her up and let her sit.
"But I’m really tired."
Nia pouted, then tried to lie back down.
However!
So things are non-negotiable.
Maxwell pulled her up again, then sat beside her, pressing her back so she couldn’t lie down.
"You need to behave."
Maxwell said as he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Have the plane on standby, we’ll head back to Capital Town this afternoon."
After hanging up, he turned to see a little Rabina Mitchell, eyes closed and ready for a nap.
"Do you want to go see a movie?"
Though Maxwell didn’t like such things, Rabina would probably enjoy it.
"No, I just want to sleep."
Not even opening her eyes, she leaned against Maxwell.
Alright then.
If Rabina wants to sleep, there’s nothing anyone can do.
Seeing her exhausted, he couldn’t bear it either.
So, Young Master Peary relented again.
He gently placed her on the big bed and pulled up the covers.
"Get a good rest."
After speaking, he was about to get up and leave, heading for the sofa.
Unexpectedly, Nia reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Hmm? What’s up?"
Maxwell looked at Nia, who had opened her eyes.
Lying on the bed, she scooted over, leaving a large empty space.
"Uncle, how about you nap with for a bit?"
Her glistening black eyes sparkled, full of caution, like a little child pleading.
Could he refuse?
Without a word, he took off his coat and lay down beside her with the covers.
Reaching out, he gently embraced her, his face full of indulgence.
"Sleep."
This magical word summoned the Sandman.
