Chapter 1053
‘The strong dictate the rules of society, huh?’ James repeated Maxine’s words in his heart and felt moreconvinced as he kept telling himself that.
He quickly shook his head and chased that temptation away.
Turning to Maxine, he asked curiously, "If it were you, would you want to share your man with otherwomen?"
"Me? "
Maxine was blindsided by his question.She was not expecting James to direct whatever she said backat her.
Ever since she was a child, she grew up in the Caden household and as a result, had been exposed tothe rules of the ancient martial world from a young age.novelbin
Everything in her life had been essentially predetermined.She knew that she was basically a tool toform marriage ties with other families in the future.
Marriage was not something that she had given a lot of thought to previously.
The only thing she had thought about before was that she would marry a highly capable martial artist.
As for what kind of person he was or how many women he had, it was not something she could control.
"I probably would."
Maxine said as she put a finger on her chin, "If he’s talented and strong, who am I to monopolize him?"
Hearing this, James smiled bitterly.He could not understand Maxine's logic.
Despite that, he also fell into thought.He had been indecisive in the past.
This made him let many people down.
If he could marry them all, everyone would be satisfied right? As soon as the idea crossed his mind, hequickly vetoed it.
Absolutely not.
That would not be fair to anyone.
Not to Thea or Tiara.He shook away the messy thoughts and continued circulating his energy to healhis injuries.
Maxine stood aside quietly and watched him.
After a while, a smile inadvertently crept up on her face.She had always thought her fate would layentirely in Tobias' hands.
It had never crossed her mind that she would one day leave the Cadens.
Finally, she ended up free from the burden of being a Caden and the heavy shackles that accompaniedit.
She stretched out her arms, raised her head, and felt the breeze.
Breathing in the fresh air, she whispered happily, "The feeling of being free to do as I please and nothave to perform perfectly feels so good.I wonder how long it’ll last."
Maxine knew that Tobias expelled her from the family because he did not want to get caught up in thebattle of political forces.
Despite that, Tobias still wanted to use James as a weapon to kill Mr.Gabriel and, if possible, to disposeof the other three families as well.
Thus, he expelled her from the family to give James as much of an advantage as he could provide.
When James protected her earlier, she felt her heart race like never before.
Honestly, she liked that feeling a lot.
James had rested for a while, and he successfully suppressed the rampaging Blood Energy in his bodyand stood up.He noticed Maxine giggling beside him like a fool.
"What’re you laughing about?"
"Huh? Maxine suddenly came back to her sense and put away her smile.иσν???вσσк.￠σмShe asked,"Was I smiling?"
"Yeah."
James replied sincerely, "You seemed to be smiling very happily."
"No, I wasn’t."
Maxine turned around.She was slightly nervous and embarrassed to have exposed such a side toJames.She hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when are you planning on making amove against Mr.Gabriel?"
James said, "I need to meet with the King first and ask about the selection of a new Red Flame Armycommander.It’s already been a month, and the results should be out by now.After I take over theposition, we can start planning from there.Let’s go."
James walked away, and Maxine trotted quietly behind him.
Maxine's hands swung about carelessly, and she unconsciously began smiling once more.
Suddenly, a question popped into her mind, and she asked curiously, "By the way, James.Which one ofthem do you actually like?"
"Is it Thea, Quincy, or perhaps Tiara who you spent an intimate night with before?"
