Chapter 523
Facing Briana’s questioning, Maxim’s face gradually turned ugly.
He gripped Briana’s shoulders, looking into her eyes seriously and said, “No, besides wanting to repay the favor, I
also wanted to see your attitude towards me. I was waiting for you to be jealous. In the past six months, if you had
told me once that you minded, I would have immediately set boundaries with Kiley.”
Briana brushed off his hand, her gaze gradually turning icy.
“Wasn’t it your responsibility to set boundaries with her? Why did you have to wait for me to say it? Couldn’t you
have done it on your own
initiative?”
Maxim pursed his thin lips, his voice low, “Because I’m not sure if I’m still in your heart.”
Briana was amused to the point of laughter, her tone mocking as she spoke, “I don’t care why you ran to save

silently endured half a year of your dealings with Kiley!”
“Briana, I’m sorry!”
Briana stood up, looking down at him, and said word by word, “If our relationship has to be tested like this, I think
we both need to seriously consider whether we should continue.”
Maxim panicked and quickly reached out to grab Briana’s hand, but she swiftly dodged him.
“The company has been quite busy these past few days, so I decided to

stay at the company.”
After speaking, she turned around and went upstairs to pack her things directly.
When he saw her leaving with her suitcase, Maxim suddenly stood up and blocked her way.
“Briana, let’s have a serious talk, I don’t want to give you the cold shoulder.”
Briana’s expression was indifferent, “I’m not giving you the cold shoulder, I just want to cool off for a few days.”
“Being calm wasn’t necessarily in the company, it was the same here.”
“Please move aside.”
Maxim stood at the door, refusing to let go. The two were at a stalemate for a while. Briana put down her suitcase,
a flash of impatience in her eyes.
“What on earth did you want?”
No sooner had the words fallen than Maxim suddenly grasped her hand.
Briana frowned, tried to break free but failed, and simply couldn’t be bothered anymore.
“Briana, I know I’ve disappointed you these past six months, but I’m also afraid of losing you. Even though you’re
right by my side, I always feel like you’re far away from me. I’m afraid that one day you’ll suddenly realize you
don’t love me and want to break up with me.”

Maxim’s face changed instantly, “What do you mean?”
“At that moment, we liked each other, which was why we were together. If our feelings continued to intensify, we
might have considered remarrying. But if there came a day when we no longer had feelings for each other, I would
have walked away. So, we would have taken our relationship as far-as fate allowed. I was not firmly convinced that
we would be together for a lifetime.”
If she had initially assumed that they would be together for a lifetime, she might have found it very difficult to move
on in case things didn’t go as planned. She wouldn’t let herself fall into such a situation again.
“So… you were prepared to leave me at any time, that’s why you didn’t care about me meeting Kiley?”
Briana was somewhat helpless, “You misunderstood, I don’t not care, it’s just that I won’t argue with you over this
like before. After all, we’ve been through so much, what should be done and what shouldn’t, I think you should
know in your heart.”
Maxim was silent for a long time, slowly releasing her hand and saying, “I don’t know why, but hearing you say that,
I feel like you’re further away from me.”
I also felt even more upset in my heart…
