Chapter 26 An Unwanted Guest 

Eden patted Maxwell’s car window

Hey, dude, what were you thinking? Look at my car! It’s a total mess now, and fixing it is gonna cost a fortune. How are you gonna make up for this?” 

Maxwell opened the car window

He said, I’ve already called the insurance company.” 

Max, it’s you!The beautiful girl recognized Maxwell. Why are you driving this piece of shit?” 

Maxwell took a closer look at that girl, and only then could he recognize that it was none other than his cousin, Eden Cheney

Maxwell instantly got out of the car. He took Eden to the side and talked to her for a long time

Camila was sitting inside the car, unable to hear their conversation. She could only see Eden keep looking over with a face full of surprise

Eden was indeed very surprised. 

She said, Max, marriage’s no child’s play. You can’t marry someone without any useful family background!” 

Your grandfather made me do it. I was left with no choice.Maxwell didn’t want Camila to get suspicious. So he urged Eden to leave and asked her not to tell her parents in Oclia

Eden said, Fine, but Grandpa isn’t doing well. My dad and mom said that they would come back after they get their recent business done. You won’t be able to hide it from them.” 

Let’s take it one step at a time.” Maxwell tucked Eden in her car and told her to have the housekeeper take care of the repair work

Eden didn’t miss the opportunity. She asked Maxwell for the new Porsche he had just bought

When Maxwell was back in the car, Camila asked him worriedly, Are you acquainted?” 

It’s an old neighbor,Maxwell said indifferently

Neighbor

Camila didn’t think herself blind

Maxwell and Eden were obviously much closer than 

neighbors. However, if Maxwell didn’t want to tell Camila, she 

wouldn’t ask

After all the fuss, it was already past 8 when they got home

Maxwell said that he would go buy some water, so Camila got out of the car first

Camila pushed the door open to see that there was a woman in a slip nightdress watering the plants

The woman’s back was alluring, her skin white and shiny. Her almost bare back was especially eyecatching

Camila fake coughed twice

You are back!The woman turned around and her bright smile stiffened the moment she saw Camila

You?” 

Dr. Laxton?” 

Both Camila and Chloe were shocked

Why are you in my house?When Camila saw Chloe’s slutty outfit, she kind of figured out that Chloe was waiting for Maxwell

Chloe immediately pulled up the straps she purposely took off and her expression grew even stiffer

Hasn’t Mr. Starling come home?” 

You are waiting for him?” 

Chloe didn’t see Maxwell and then her face changed

Camila, how about we make a deal? You like Dewitt so much, and I like Maxwell. I’ll give Dewitt to you, and you give Maxwell to me. You and Maxwell will probably end up divorcing in half a year anyway, so let’s speed up that schedule and make things work for all of us.” 

Camila thought that Chloe had hypochondria

Dr. Laxton, I suggest you go see a psychiatrist. First of all, Dr. Booker and I are just friends. Second, what right do you have to give him to me? Is he your boyfriend? And lastly, whether Maxwell and I get divorced half a year later is our business, not yours.” 

Chloe’s face turned an ugly shade of green at Camila’s words

She said, Camila, didn’t you just marry Maxwell for those 80 thousand dollars? Since you’ve already had it and you don’t like him, why don’t you let me have him?” 

Who told you I didn’t like him? He has a handsome face, a good personality, and is never flashy. Where can I find another good man like him?” 

Are you talking about me?Maxwell walked in through the 

door with a carton of water in one hand and a laptop in 

another

Camila blushed. She wondered how much of their 

conversation was heard by Maxwell

Maxwell handed over the laptop, and Camila hurriedly stepped forward to take it, naturally like an ordinary couple’s daily routine

Dr. Laxton, it’s cold in the night. You should wear more clothes, or you might catch a cold,Maxwell reminded Chloe

Chloe’s face became pale instantly. She watched Camila and Maxwell walk inside the house together and Maxwell’s arm was around Camila’s shoulder

Chloe was furious

She had bathed and dressed herself and didn’t even wear perfumés. She did all of this to create an opportunity to get close to Maxwell when he came back

But she didn’t expect her plans to be ruined by Camila

At that moment, Raven, who had been hiding behind, took Chloe back to her room and berated her for being too hasty

But Chloe said that what Raven told her was wrong and that Maxwell didn’t dislike Camila as much as he seemed to

In the room, Maxwell was leaning on the sofa tiredly

But Camila was standing in front of him. She was waiting for Maxwell’s explanation

Go cook the pasta. I’m hungry,” Maxwell urged her

Why would Dr. Laxton live in our house? How come I don’t know it at all?Camila didn’t realize how much she looked like a wife who was questioning her husband for taking another woman to their place behind her back

Maxwell held back his smile and asked in a seemingly serious tone, Are you jealous?” 

Not at all.” Camila’s face turned red. Didn’t you say that I’m in charge of family matters? Now there’s another woman in our house. Of course, I have to ask about it.”” 

Maxwell held his forehead, thinking that women were really troublesome

But he still explained patiently, Dr. Laxton is Raven’s niece. Her dormitory is having a renovation, so she’s staying here for a while

Grandpa happens to be away recently. Raven can have company with Dr. Laxton here.” 

You actually believed her words?Camila was angry when she thought of Chloe’s words

Raven directly talked to Grandpa about it. She’s just staying for a few days. It’s no big deal.”

Camila got even angrier because of Maxwell’s indifference. However, she couldn’t talk much about it since it was Gideon’s decision

She said, Alright, if everyone’s okay with it, I don’t have any objections either.” 

Maxwell could tell that Camila was jealous and he felt happy about it. He thought, Seems that Chloe isn’t completely useless.” 

Camila sighed

Where will she sleep at night?” 

The study.” 

And you will beCamila suddenly realized that Maxwell would have to sleep with Chloe if Chloe was sleeping in the study and maybe that was what Gideon was up to

I can stay in a hotel,Maxwell said

The hotel’s so expensive! Why waste money?Camila blurted 

out

Then she regretted saying that immediately. It seems that she was inviting Maxwell to sleep in her bed

Her heart was pounding fast

And her face was burning

Camila used the excuse of cooking pasta and left. Only then did she feel less embarrassed

Half an hour later, the pasta was ready, but Maxwell had

fallen asleep on the sofa

Camila saw that he was sleeping soundly, so she went to the shower without waking him up

She was nervous when she thought that she and Maxwell would be sleeping in the same bed tonight. She even felt that the shower water was hotter than usual

After the shower, Camila walked out of the bathroom. Maxwell was still asleep and the pasta was getting cold
