Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 481 Cajole

She met a young man back when her life was in turmoil, and that lad left a deep impression on her. No matter how much time had passed, she could never forget him.

Max noticed her eyes. They were gleaming, and he had conflicting emotions. At first, he thought she hated him or at least harbored a strong dislike, but when she showed up all smiling, Max tossed his worries behind him. "Thank you. You'll still remain the best woman I've ever met." We used to be in love.

That brings the conversation to a close. Yelena stood up, ready to leave. "May you keep shining bright for the rest of your life."

"You too."

That lifted a weight off Yelena's shoulder. She heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

"Oh. If he does treat you badly, come to me. I'll always welcome you."

"Oh, he won't ever treat me badly," said Yelena. There was a hint of pride in her voice, the kind of pride only a woman loved by someone could have.

"Good. Just kidding."

Yelena came back to the lounge, where Hank was waiting for her. The light shone on him, dragging out a long shadow on the ground.

Slowly, Yelena approached Hank, and Hank smiled. "Done?" Good. That clingy Max isn't here. His frown went away.

"Yes." She didn't elaborate lest it upset Hank.

"I'll take you home then." Hank held her hand.
