Chapter 533 The Smell of Conspiracy

Chapter 533 The Smell of Conspiracy

Flora closed her mouth and pouted. She was getting closer and closer to Maximilian, as she wanted to kiss Maximilian secretly.

Her head had leaned forward enough; even her body had begun to lean forward, but she still didn't feel Maximilian's face on her lips.

Flora felt something was wrong. She opened her eyes and saw nothing before her. There was no trace of Maximilian at all.

"What?" Flora tried to keep her exclaim down. She felt scared because she had watched too many scenes like this in horror movies.

"Why aren't you sleeping? It's already midnight! Are you sleepwalking?" Maximilian was speaking behind Flora in a very low tone.

Flora's hands covered her mouth tightly so that she wouldn't scream too loud. When she turned over and saw Maximilian standing behind her, she slumped on the floor.

"You scared the hell out of me! You're bad!" Flora said with her hands patting her chest.

"Just go to sleep. Stop daydreaming."

Seeing Maximilian's stern face, Flora pursed her lips and said, "You're spoiling the fun! Why can't you just enjoy it? I'm giving you the opportunity to take advantage of me!"

"In the end, taking advantage of you will cost me a big loss." Maximilian sounded as if he had been in the same situation before.

Flora didn't know what to say. She glared at Maximilian and walked back to her room angrily.

Maximilian shook his head and lay back on the sofa. This was too difficult for him, and he wished Victoria could be so proactive.

His blood started surging as soon as he thought of Victoria. He fell asleep later, and didn't wake up till dawn.

He stretched and walked to the bathroom to get refreshed, only to find that Flora was already there. Flora sniffed and gave Maximilian a fierce glare.

"Hurry up! What's that glare for?" Maximilian asked, although he knew the answer already.

"Hum hum!" She hummed twice and spared some room for him.

"I want to eat braised pork, stewed chicken, stuffed duck, steamed meatball..."

Flora was calculated with her fingers. It seemed that she had decided to wear Maximilian out today.

Maximilian was brushing his teeth, and looked at Flora in surprise.

"Are you reciting the menu from a restaurant?" Maximilian mumbled with his mouth full of toothpaste foam.

"They are the dishes I want to eat today. You promised you'll cook a big meal for us... wait, I haven't finished yet." Flora looked charming and mischievous.

Maximilian didn't know what to do. He did have promised to cook a meal for Flora.

But Flora had asked for too many dishes.

"Don't push me... how much can you eat? I'll only cook if you can eat all of them up. What if you can't eat all the dishes up?"

"Then keep it in the refrigerator, or we can send it to someone else. I don't care. I just want to have a bite of these dishes."

Flora didn't care. She failed to kiss the man last night, which made her lose sleep all night.

"I was so mad that I haven't slept well all night. Look at my black eyes!"

"Hey! Be serious! If you keep being so unreasonable, I'll let Canaan take you out." Maximilian tried to threaten her.

Flora finally gave up. She pouted and looked at Maximilian with a grieved face.

"Are you threatening me? Is that all you've got? We decided to go to the temple and pray to Buddha without you last night."

Flora said and made a face at Maximilian. Then she ran out of the bathroom.

Maximilian shook his head and left her jokes behind.

After he finished washing his face, he went back to the living room and saw Victoria and Flora whispering to each other intimately.

"Honey, we'll go to Lingshan Temple later. It's said that the prayers there are always answered. I'll go pray for our family." Victoria said sincerely.

Maximilian scratched his head, as he didn't have much faith in gods or demons. However, now that Victoria wanted to go, he could only do as she wished.

"What makes you a believer of Buddha all of a sudden? I can go with you. I don't have anything to do anyway."

"There have been too many things happening recently, most of which are good, but I always felt anxious, and I want to go to the temple, burn some incense and pray."

Victoria believed that good luck and bad luck were bound together. They had been too lucky recently, and she should thank god for this in case of bad things happening in the future.

Flora twitched her nose and said, "We'll go there together, just two of us. We don't want you to go with us. You can just stay at home and cook for us."

"You should take a rest at home. I can go with Flora, it's OK." Victoria said with a smile.

Maximilian nodded. "Fine, watch out on your way. Call me if you need anything."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just cook some delicious dishes for us at home. I want meatballs, mandarin fish, coriander fried beef, and some other vegetables. Any other questions?"

Flora raised her head proudly. She stuck her tongue out at Maximilian, and looked so adorable.

Maximilian's eyebrows twitched. He laughed, "OK. Now that you've ordered what you want, I'll cook those dishes as you wish. I'll wait for you to get back at lunch."

"Thank you, honey. We are leaving now, and we'll be back at noon." Victoria waved her hand to Maximilian. Then she went out hand in hand with Flora.

Maximilian's eyes narrowed as he watched them leaving. "Being with Flora? Just the two of them?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt anxious. Flora had a complicated background. She had shown her determination to take Maximilian's side, but Maximilian wasn't sure if she really meant it.

He pondered for half a minute, and then he took out his phone and called Canaan, telling him to come here.

He left his home in a hurry after the call. Then he stood on the side of the road and lit up a cigarette. He wanted to figure out what Flora was up to.

His phone buzzed when he was thinking. He took out the phone and read the message sent by Flora.

"Don't be nervous. It is Victoria's decision not to bring you there, and I didn't encourage her to go to Lingshan Temple, either. Don't suspect me."

Maximilian hesitated when he saw the text. Then he replied shortly.

"Why does she want to go there all of a sudden? I know you know the reason."

"I don't know the exact reason. I heard that a friend of hers wants to introduce her to a master in Lingshan temple. The master was a monk there. They've made an appointment to meet there today."

Maximilian was getting more and more confused. He wondered where this monk came from and what he was up to. Maximilian had a feeling that there was a conspiracy behind it.
