"I don’t know him that well,” Max said in a low voice.
"That makes sense." Larissa nodded. "By the way, how did your blind date go today? I heard from your mom that you went on a blind date with a military officer's daughter."
Max's handsome face stiffened. He did not expect that his mom would tell Larissa about it. In that case, Charity...
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs as Charity walked down in casual clothes. Max did not know whether she overheard their conversation or not.
Even if she did, she probably already knew about it.
"Aunt Larissa, my mom arranged it on her own. The lady’s parents are influential, so it would’ve been disrespectful if I didn't go. I'll find an excuse later to say that our personalities don't match and that we can't be together." Max quickly raised his voice and said, "I already have someone I like."
Larissa saw Max looking at her daughter, and her head started to ache. However, she did not say anything.
"Mom, can we have our meal now?” Charity asked.
"Yes, yes. I'll go get the food." Larissa quickly excused
herself from the situation.
Max stepped forward. "Charity, I've only liked you and you only. My feelings for you won't change."
"Max, I think it's better for us to be friends." Charity raised her head and met his gaze. "Your parents really hope that you can make the Langston family proud. Besides, it's too difficult for your career to advance if our relationship is exposed. Sometimes, we can't just live for ourselves but our parents as well."
