Chapter 986

Jennifer awkwardly cleared her throat. Hugo's temperament was something… Jennifer worried that any girl who ended up with Hugo might face a rough time.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about my brother's love life." Jennifer pushed Maxwell. "Go take a shower already. You're so annoying!"

Maxwell cupped her face and kissed her before heading to the bathroom. He realized that while Camila's actions might stir his anger, they no longer broke his heart. Only Jennifer's emotions truly affected him. Now that they had cleared up their misunderstandings, he felt a weight off his chest. As for Camila... He was disappointed.

Before bed that night, Maxwell went to check on Caleb. Caleb had been avoiding Maxwell for days out of guilt.

"Daddy..." Caleb looked up at Maxwell, nervous that Maxwell might be here to punish him.

Maxwell recalled Jennifer's words. If they were true, then Camila's behavior was deeply unsettling. Encouraging Cassidy to harm Jennifer seemed like something she would do.
