Once Maria had cleaned up, she didn’t pay any more attention to her appearance. Kim was different from others. She didn’t mind being seen without makeup.
While Kim and Maria were talking, the driver and agent tried their best to minimize their presence.
Only when the two behind them showed smiles did the agent breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Maria’s emotions had stabilized.
She looked up towards the backseat and asked, “Can we leave now?”
Maria felt a bit embarrassed and shrunk into Kim’s embrace.
Kim comforted her softly, whispering, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
The driver started the car.
…
“Kim, why is he always so impulsive? How could he keep such a thing from me? Can he really hide it?”
She muttered to herself and then sighed.
“This is really too much!”
The more Maria thought about it, the angrier she became. Kim’s actions this time were indeed a bit excessive. Even if Mrs. Ragsdill was pressuring him, he should have at least told her, shouldn’t he?
That was what Maria was thinking.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but Maria was already starting to doze off in the car. Despite her anger, Kim was still on her mind.
If Kim hadn’t come out for such a long time, could he have encountered some trouble? Could it be because of her attitude that he had argued with Mrs. Ragsdill?
However, in Maria’s mind, although Kim treated his parents very well, he wasn’t an obedient mama’s boy. So, Kim wouldn’t stay inside just because of Mrs. Ragsdill.
Was it possible that he hadn’t found her?
No, if he hadn’t found her, then Kim really didn’t care about her. Maria had come straight to the parking lot without hiding any routes. Anyone who cared even a little would be able to see where she went with just one glance.
With these thoughts in mind, Maria sighed again. She didn’t know what emotions she should have at this moment. Should she try to understand Kim’s situation or let out her own emotions?
At this moment, she had no thoughts.
Perhaps, this was love.
No matter what happens, they consider each other first.
As she was thinking this, a figure appeared directly in front of the car.
It was Kim.
“Maria, you’re here.”
After seeing Maria’s figure, he quickly ran over, his face filled with anxiety and his tone nervous.
Although Maria was somewhat happy in her heart, she still hoped that Kim would learn from this situation. If he came and just said a few deceptive words, she definitely wouldn’t continue to be like this with Kim.
At the very least, he should explain the reason for this incident, right?
Before Maria could say anything, Kim spoke first.
“Maria, please don’t misunderstand. I was indeed in the wrong, and I apologize for embarrassing you. This was a promise between my mother and me, but I couldn’t tell you in time. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Kim paused for a moment.
“I’m sorry.”
Maria couldn’t resist the power of that apology and burst into laughter.
To think that someone like Kim, a CEO, would actually say sorry just to please her. It truly broadened her horizons.
And when Kim saw Maria laughing, he also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Maria really wanted to be angry with him, today’s incident couldn’t have been avoided. But since Maria was already laughing, it meant she wasn’t in the mood to be angry with him.
So Kim also felt much more relaxed in his heart.
Looking at Maria in front of him, Kim couldn’t find the right words to say for a moment. After all, no matter how you looked at it, today’s incident had made both of them feel awkward.
The main culprit behind this matter was undoubtedly Mrs. Ragsdill. If Mrs. Ragsdill hadn’t made such an unreasonable arrangement with Kim, this wouldn’t have happened. So Kim really didn’t know how to face Maria in the current situation.
Seeing Kim’s embarrassed state, Maria couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“It’s okay. You’ve explained it to me, and I’m not angry anymore. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Upon hearing Maria’s words, Kim felt a little uncomfortable. Maria had such a broad mind. Even in the face of such a situation, she could be tolerant and understanding. This was the kind of personality that Kim should learn from.
However, what Kim didn’t know was that Maria forgave him so quickly because he was the protagonist of this story. Otherwise, no matter who did such a thing, they wouldn’t receive a pleasant reception from Maria.
Although Maria came from a poor background, she never felt inferior to others.
“Indeed, Maria, you don’t need to take my mother’s words to heart. That’s just the way she is, with a sharp tongue towards everyone. Don’t think too much about it,” Kim continued to comfort Maria.
Maria knew very well in her heart that Mrs. Ragsdill simply didn’t like her. She wasn’t as well-off as Adeline, and she didn’t consider herself as refined. She didn’t think she could match someone like Kim in any aspect.
But love is unpredictable, bringing together two completely unrelated people.
Although Maria was currently satisfied, she had some hesitation about the future. After all, Kim’s family background and experiences would bring him into contact with more people. Whether it was the present or the future, Kim had a bright future ahead, while Maria could only maintain her normal life for now.
Expectations leading to disappointment in a vicious cycle.
That was what Maria feared the most.
It seemed like Kim understood Maria’s thoughts and he used his hand to playfully tap her nose, smiling as he said, “Silly, don’t you trust me yet? Don’t worry, I may not have much else, but I always keep my word!”
Listening to Kim teasing her and making her happy, Maria truly laughed.
No matter what happened in the future, as long as she can be with him now, it was the greatest happiness.
Kim suddenly looked deeply into Maria’s eyes.
“Cheer up! When we carve out our own world, my mother will definitely approve of you! And even if she continues to be unreasonable, her son has made up his mind.”
Although Kim’s words were realistic, they were also the truth.
Maria may not have much power at the moment, but that didn’t mean she won’t have any in the future. So, Kim’s words were also a way of comforting her.
