Maxine was deep in thought while James was sewing her clothes.
Amid her thoughts, she failed to notice James turning around.
James had already been staring at her for a while before she regained her senses.
James swallowed his saliva and said, “I-l’m done.”
Maxine immediately took the clothes and quickly turned around, exposing her smooth back to James.
The sight of her butt immediately caught James' attention.It was incredibly voluminous.He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his lustful desires.
Maxine quickly got dressed.
After James calmed down, he picked up his clothes and inspected them. They could still be worn if he mended them.
Then, he began to sew them together.
In no time at all, James was also dressed.
After getting dressed, the two sat around the fire silently. It was an unusual atmosphere because neither of them spoke.
James roasted the hare that the soldiers had given him earlier.He occasionally glanced at Maxine, who was sitting opposite him. Due to her silence and the unusual atmosphere, he tried to find a topic to discuss.
“Actually, you have a pretty good figure,” James blurted out.
“Oh, is that so?” Maxine blushed at his comment. She reached out her hand and stroked her hair to cover up her embarrassment.
Her unnatural expression only lasted for a moment.
She immediately recollected herself and asked teasingly, “Is it better than Thea’s?”
“Huh?” James was caught by surprise.
He thought for a while and said, “It’s about the same.”
James meant what he said. There was nothing to compare between the two. Each of them was beautiful in their own way.
“By the way... Madelyn might publish the photos after returning to the Capital. What should I do if Grandpa punishes me for ruining the marriage?” Maxine looked at James and waited for an answer.
James pondered before answering, “Didn't you say it was part of his plan? Even if the photos were leaked, wouldn't he try to explain things?”
“That being said, do you think the Blithes will believe I was framed? If the Blithes still carry on with the marriage, what will people think of them?”
“What do you mean?” James looked at Maxine. He did not understand what she meant by the question.
“Nothing. I'll take things one step at a time.” Maxine shook her head. She was disappointed by James’ answer.
Perhaps to James, she was not important. Despite what happened between them, his attitude remained the same. She sat in a lotus position and remained silent.
Meanwhile, James grilled the meat.
Soon, the hare meat was ready. James tore off a leg and handed it to Maxine, saying, “Try some.”
“I’m not hungry.” Maxine did not open her eyes.
James felt awkward and retracted his hand.
After he finished eating, he assumed a lotus position as well.
They quietly waited for dawn to arrive.
