Chapter 1459: Chapter 1458: Unreasonably Gentle, But Not Yours

Nia Mitchell was lying alone on the sofa, too full to want to move, but because of this, she felt time was even harder to endure.

She reached out to pick up her phone, a smile spreading across her face as she dialed.

She didn’t know what kind of banquet her uncle was attending, or whether he’d be able to answer the phone.

Maxwell Peary was standing on the shore, about to leave when unexpectedly his phone rang.

"Hmm? What’s up?"

Maxwell immediately softened, his voice filled with indulgence.

This side of Maxwell shocked everyone.

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder if Young Master Peary, who seemed not to favor his son, had a daughter hidden somewhere.

"Uncle, is the banquet fun?"

The banquet had many elegantly dressed young ladies; she wondered if anyone had caught Maxwell’s eye.

"Why? You like it?"

He didn’t expect that after last night’s events, Rabina would still enjoy banquets.

Nia Mitchell pouted slightly; the banquet was fun, with food, drinks, and handsome men.

Though nearly no one compared to Maxwell’s handsomeness, it was still fun beyond measure.

"If you like, I can take you with me to future banquets."

He had many engagements, but he’d declined them all.

Now, since Rabina wanted to attend, he could choose to take her along.

Listening to Maxwell’s words, Nia contemplated.

"Forget it, banquets aren’t actually that fun."

Thinking back to last night—

Ah si!

Banquets are terrifying; it wasn’t until today that she realized she’d been drugged the night before.

At this thought, Nia broke into goosebumps.

If Maxwell hadn’t been there, she dared not imagine what might have happened.

The one who drugged her really had a heinous heart.

"I’ll be heading back soon."

Upon hearing her voice, Maxwell casually replied.

Upon hearing this, Nia nodded, but unfortunately, the CEO couldn’t see her small gesture.

"Mm-hmm, I’ll be waiting for you at home."

Rabina’s soft voice always managed to soften his heart.

"Hmm, did you eat yet?"

"Of course, I did. I had a big bowl of rice tonight."

Nia announced with delight.

Listening to her words, Maxwell couldn’t help but laugh.

"Don’t wait for me in the Living Room, go back to your room."

Rabina always waited in the Living Room, but today she wasn’t feeling well, curled up on the sofa was hardly comfortable.

"I’m in the Living Room, didn’t you say you’d be back soon?"

...

After hanging up, Maxwell still retained that indulgent expression, impossible for anyone to look away from.

Such was Maxwell Peary, whom no one had ever seen before.

Maxwell stood there, pocketed his phone, and was ready to leave.

"You stop right there!"

The old master couldn’t tolerate him leaving just like that.

"Tonight, staying here is the least you can do; Anne Davidson has been back for quite a while now, and you haven’t cared enough to look; is this proper?"

Listening to the old master’s words, it seemed as if he wasn’t the one who wanted to break them apart in the first place.

Maxwell paused and looked at the old master.

"Absolutely not."

He finished speaking and directly left the scene.

"Truly infuriating!"

The old master furiously stood there, suddenly smashed the wine glass beside him, his face full of rage.

Samuel Peary watched the entire scene, falling into a deep silence.
