Chapter 161

• “I know... and precisely because of that, you and I, can't be alone in the same room for more than five minutes... we have to keep our distance or else...” he fell silent before saying what he was about to say, he didn't risk continuing and he watched her with an intensity that made her tremble and almost disarm her.
• Maximilien didn't contradict her, because that was the truth, if they didn't put distance between them, they could do something they would later regret and even though at this point, he felt that his feelings were completely dominating him, he knew he had to muster all his willpower to not make a bigger mistake than the one he had already made, and to achieve that, they had to avoid being alone at all costs, that in itself was already too dangerous.
• “In the same way, it was my fault, I was the one who kissed you and I regret it, I really regret it, don't feel bad for a mistake that was only mine.”
