Love Takes Time

Leila's eyes were red and swollen. She lowered her head and said, "How can I go downstairs for dinner when I'm like this?"

Standing up, Max went to the bathroom and took out a towel to wipe her face. "Well, Spencer is back today. We seldom have a reunion dinner together."

"You don't hate him anymore?"

Turning to look at her, Max said, "Spencer is my younger brother. We have a good relation apart from the business in the company."

They went downstairs together and Max held Leila's hand tightly. Yet Leila's heart was beating fast even though she heard that it was a reunion dinner.

"Long time no see, future sister-in-law!"

Leila lowered her head out of shyness. Although her eyes were not so swollen, her hands were still hurt. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.

Leila was taken good care of by Max. He filled her bowl with soup and dish.

The family seemed very harmonious.

All of a sudden, the butler outside hastily came in and said, "Senior Mr. Mu, young masters, Miss Rosa is outside."

Max stood up abruptly, which shocked Leila a little bit. Leila looked up at him immediately, and Max realized his gaffe, so he patted her on the shoulder gently, "Sit down first, I'll go out and have a look."

There were only the three of them in the dining room including Matt, Spencer and herself, which made Leila extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know what would happen next, and she could only keep silent at this time.

"Hey, I can't believe that this woman has done such a shameful thing. She even has the courage to come to our house. Father, are you sure that's not what you mean?"

Matt stared at Spencer and said, "You son of a bitch. It's nonsense. How could I let such an evil woman come into our home? Shut up!"

With an embarrassed look on her face, Leila listened to the conversation between the father and the son. She only knew that Rosa was pregnant. Although Max had told her that the child was Grady's, no one knew what had happened between Rosa and Grady.

This time, Spencer boldly sat opposite Leila, and he stared at her with a dark gaze. At the moment, Leila seemed to be extremely reducing her sense of existence. Since she had been together with Max, Leila seemed to have been obsessed with this man. She would always inadvertently show her feminine side in front of him. Now being stared at by Spencer like this, she was very uncomfortable.

Spencer looked at the opposite Leila, who was trying very hard to put a restraint on her emotion. Although she was angry with Spencer, she still trying her best to put a restraint on herself. Seeing her face with the combination of grievance and tenacity, Spencer raised the corners of his mouth. "I think you will soon know what will happen."

Leila was also curious. She looked at Spencer who was with a smile on face. He seemed to have understood what would happen next, yet Leila doubted whether everything was arranged by him.

At this moment, the butler was ushering the two persons into the living room. As a willful young master, Spencer didn't seem to be afraid of the coming people. While the butler let them sit down in the living room. The high heels screeched loudly in the living room.

"Mr. Spencer, where is your brother? We've heard that he's going to get engaged. And we came here especially to congratulate him on his engagement!"

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

s time, Max might not succeed either.

"I will not engage with a woman I don't like!"

Max took a deep look at Leila, who was holding a tea cup, and he wondered what she was thinking. She must have been mocked by Grady's words before. Thinking of this, Max felt a little unhappy, as it seemed that his affairs were concerned by too many people.

Rosa felt ashamed. At the beginning, she thought the Max has some peculiar feeling for her, but now, it was so clear that she couldn't even count as a lover for Max!

"If my memory serves me right, you like Rosa, don't you?"

Leila looked up at Max abruptly. Although Max had explained the question, Leila still wanted to hear what he would say in front of Rosa.

"Shame on you! What happened? My elder brother doesn't like this woman and you came here to make trouble! How dare you!"

Spencer said in displeasure. He could see that the two men were here to make trouble. But what qualifications did they have to do so.

Rosa gave Spencer a reproachful look. She was not happy to hear that. How could she accept the fact!

Rosa was jealous of the protection of Spencer towards Leila. After all, Spencer had never taken notice of Rosa before.

Rosa's expression became a little ferocious, and she glared at Leila like a knife. At this time, Max slightly frowned, "Miss Rosa, I think the answer I gave you is clear enough, so..."

The expression on his face became obscure and difficult to understand, yet Rosa could understand what Max was going to say. At this time, Grady, who was standing by, watched his beloved woman being bullied, absolutely he would not allow it.

"Max, you grew up with Rosa. You know what she means, so..."

"So you give up your beloved woman to me and force me to be with the woman you like?"

Max's words were so cold that everyone could see that he was really angry. He went to Grady, grabbed his collar and said, "If we are still friends, you'd better quickly get out with your woman, otherwise..."

Rosa rushed to Max and tried to grab his hand. Yet Max avoided her and said "Don't touch me. It's dirty."

"Max, do you dislike me?"

With a bitter smile, Rosa continued, "Since you dislike me, does it mean that you still care about me?"
