These instructions left Nia Mitchell rather baffled. What did he mean? Wasn't she supposed to call him?
"Maxwell, what's really going on with you?"
Was it really as simple as him returning to Capital Town?
"Nothing much. It's just that if things don't resolve well in Capital Town, I might have to go abroad. I won't always be able to be by your side," Maxwell Peary said, reaching out to gently stroke her hair.
"You have to miss me," he suddenly murmured, his voice low but extremely tender.
Nia's heart skipped a beat. She blushed and nodded.
"I understand. But you have to remember to miss me too."
Maxwell Peary smiled, his eyes full of amusement.
"Mhm."
Of course, he would miss her. He was just a bit worried he'd find himself missing her every single moment.
Thinking of this, he leaned down and kissed her again.
