"Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind. Want some col make it while you get cleaned up." I can

"Thanks, but Emma can do it."

"Don't worry! I'll be happy to make it. You get cleaned up, and I'll prepare your breakfast!"

Maximus felt a bit uncomfortable with her words but decided not to say anything further Meanwhile, as they talked, Mary noticed a different scent on him-a feminine one. For the first time, it made her heart sink. She had made up her mind to love this man, believing he didn't have anyone else. So why did he come home smelling so different?noveldrama

Maximus quickly downed his coffee and rushed to the office.

"Mary, I'll be home late tonight, so I won't be here for dinner. Please, don't wait for me."

"Sure! No problem," she said, forcing a smile.

It wasn't the first time he'd said something like that, but today, it bothered her a little more. The new scent she'd discovered on him made her feel jealous for the first time, though she hid it well.

Mary was

the garden when Emma's voice called out to her.

"Miss Mary! Come quickly, Mrs. Palmer just arrived, and she's looking for you."

"Oh! I'm coming!"

"Grandma? I thought you were busy!"

"I am, sweetheart! But I made time to come see you. Get ready, we're going shopping for your birthday!" "No need, Grandma! I'm fine as I am. Just seeing you is enough."

"No, no, my girl! What kind of grandmother would I be if I didn't spoil you? Come on, get changed! I'll call Maximus so he can meet us for lunch."

When Mary heard that Maximus would be joining them for lunch, her heart soared, and she rushed to get ready as best she could.

"Grandma, how can I look more like a lady who would make a good wife?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Well, I want to look like the girls around here. I see them walking down the streets, and I want to look like them, but I don't know how."

"Oh, you mean like a society girl?"

"I guess so!"

"My dear, that makes me so happy! Come on, then, let's go shopping! Maybe for my birthday, I'll introduce you to society, and you'll have many suitors."

"Well, it's just that..."

"What is it, my dear?"

"Wed: 14 likar someone.

Really? Do know sim

"Okay and who is it?"

"Well

"Don't be shy I won't laugh in fact, I'll help you, and we'll find a way for you to go out with him," said the grandmother, already suspecting the answer

"Well it's it's Maximus! But he's too old for me, and I don't think he likes me that way. He sees me as a little girl and I don't want that anymore! Besides, I'm of age now!"

"My girl, you have no idea how happy that makes me! Can you imagine officially becoming a Palmer? You have no idea how much joy that would bring me!"

"Well, I thought you might be upset, considering everything going on with my family."

"Ther's not an issue, my girl! I would love for you to be part of the family, and of course, you have my full support Now, come on, we have a lot to plan. If you feel like you still look too young, we can make some anges to your look"

Catherine and Mary went shopping. She took her to buy clothes that made her look more mature, then they went to the salon for a new haircut and makeup that highlighted her beautiful features. While Mary was being pampered, Catherine called Maximus.

"Maximus! Are you busy?"

"I'm about to go into a meeting. What's up, Grandma?"

"Make some room in your tight schedule. I want you to join me and Mary for lunch today. We'll see you at Trattoria da Fortunata at 1:00 p.m.

"Grandma, you can't just decide my schedule like that. I have plans!"

"Do those plans include having lunch with that whore Alexia?"

Catherine, aside from visiting Mary for her birthday, had already heard the news that Maximus had hired Alexia to work at the company. She needed to act fast to keep him away from her.
