Chapter 170 Maria , whats this grass called ? Can we eat it ? asked Serena .
In the afternoon .
Maria picked up Serena and after having some snacks , they took a walk around the garden .
The garden was very spacious and picturesque , almost like being in a European style classical garden .
Serena was squatting on the ground , pointing at a patch of grass , asking Maria about it .
Maria shook her head .
You should ask your mom .
I dont know In her eyes , these flowers and plants were divided into two categories : edible wild herbs and inedible plants .
As she wandered around earlier , Maria noticed that the flowers and plants seemed to be growing in a great environment .
If she were lucky , by next spring , a lot of wild herbs might grow in this garden .
By then , if Paisley hadnt left , Maria would dig up all those wild herbs As she thought about it .
Marias eyes lit up , as if she could already see the herbs waving at her .
Just then , a car slowly drove up and stopped near where Maria and Serena were standing .
A tall man got out of the backseat .
Maria recognized him it was Max who had fallen outside their house last time and whom Paisley had brought home to treat his leg .
He was accompanied by his subordinate .
Max curiously looked at Serena , who was squatting on the ground in a fluffy bunny suit , so small and cute .
What are you doing here ? Serena pointed at the grass .
Im looking at the little grass .
Max nodded , his lips curling into a slight smile , his gaze warm .
What are you doing here , Sir ? Serena looked up at Max as she squatted .
Max was so tall , like a giant .
Max was charmed by Serenas wide gyed gaze and smiled .
He pointed at the gate ahead .
This is my house .
Maria then realized that they were standing right in front of the gate to his house , blocking his way.
Sorry , Maria said , pulling Serena up .
Rena , lets move aside , were in the way .
stood up obediently and moved to the side with h Maria At that moment , Max didnt rush to go home but crouched down in front of Serena .
Youre called Rena His voice was soft , as if speaking too loudly would scare this adorable little bunny in front of him .
Serena nodded .
Yeah , Im Serena , everyone calls me keru , Alright , Renu , dont bother this gentleman .
We need to go home now Maria was always cautious around this man from Montera .
From what she had observed over the past few days , the house next door seemed to be full of men , all of whom appeared to be subordinates to Max These subordinates had serious expressions and came and went every day , though she had no idea what they were doing .
This made Maria cautious , and she couldnt help but keep an eye on them , wondering if they were bad people .
Max noticed Marias wariness but didnt mind .
In fact , he thought it was a good thing that she was cautious .
So , he stood up Serena , realy to wave her goodbye .
up and smiled smiled gently at Just then , he saw he saw the little one awkwardly walking toward him , probably because her thick clothing made it hard for her to walk steadily She walked up to Max , reached out her tiny hand , and grabbed the front of his coat .
Sir , can you hug me ? For the past few days , she had been seeing Kevin carrying Elara to kindergarten every morning .
She also wanted to be carried to school by her dad .
But she didnt have a dad .
50 , could thus man hold her for a little while ! Max froze for a moment .
When he looked down , he met the little girls eyes , filled with longing .
Rena , you cant just do that Maria hurried forward , trying to pull Serena away .
Its okay Max crouched down again and opened his a arns to her .
1/2 11:02 AM ď ď Chapter 170 Faced with such a hopeful gaze , he simply couldnt bring himself to refuse .
The Title girls face instantly lit up with a bright smile , and she bounced into his arms .
Max wrapped his arms around her and stood up steadily .
Wow ! Serena gasped in amazement .
Sir , youre so tall just like Prince Charming ! Max chuckled .
Whos Prince Charming ? Prince Charming is handsome .
Is he more handsome than me ? For some reason , Max suddenly felt competitive , Serena studied him carefully , her linle mind recalling Nathaniels face .
Sir , you and Prince Charming are different How so ! Prince Charming is a prince , but youre like a great general .
Max was a little surprised .
He hadnt expected that in this little ones mind , hed be seen as a warrior instead of a prince .
Well , a general wasnt bad either .
From a distance , Paisley saw this scene as she drove up Her expression froze , curiosity stirring when did Serena get so close to Max ? Could it be that her fangirl instincts had flared to be hugged ! up again ! Did she ask But then , she realized something .
In the past , every time Serena saw Teddy , she would ask for a hug and even deliberately call him by the wrong Even the last time she met Nathaniel , she had immediately wanted a hug and asked him to play with her .
Maybe this wasnt just some fangirl behavior .
Maybe it was her deep longing for a fathers love .
Realizing this , Paisley felt a sharp pang in her heart .
Had she been ignoring her daughters silent yearning for a father all along ! She parked the car , quickly got out , and walked toward them .
Rena , Im back Hearing her voice , Serenas eyes lit up , and she stretched out her little hands .
Mommy ! Mommy ! Paisley jogged over , taking Serena into her arms .
She gave Max a polite smile .
I hope she didnt bother you Max shook his head .
Not at all .
Rena and I got along well As Paisley took Serena into her arms , a few strands of her silky black hair brushed against the back of his hand .
The soft breeze carried a faint , pleasant fragrance to his nose Mommy , I like Max ! Serenas bright eyes sparkled as she looked at Max .
Her words made Paisley feel a bit awkward standing there .
Rena , say goodbye .
Were going home now , Serena obediently waved .
