Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 398 A Brazen Provocation

Has Arthur returned as well? Max already knew what kind of person Arthur was, so he immediately frowned when he saw the man. "Who invited you?"

"I don't know what's on Mom's mind. She's still willing to invite you to her birthday party when you've already become like this." Max had always been straightforward, but this statement did not affect Arthur at all.

It was pointless to argue with him about such things, so Max glared at him coldly before turning back to sit on the couch.

Meanwhile, Arthur raised his head and casually glanced at Elspeth, who was standing not far away. "Long time no see, Elspeth," he said smilingly.

Elspeth put on a fake smile and replied, "That's not quite true. We just met two days ago, after all."
