Listening to Ayra's self-deception, Max finally couldn't help himself.
He reached out and squeezed Ayra's shoulder, "Mom, what a tto be lying to yourself!"
That's the truth!
Ayra's eyes had turned scarlet and she shook her head desperately, "It's impossible, how could he cback?"
It must be Max's mistake.
She even looked at Max, her voice strong and unmistakable, "Swear and say you didn't lie toor | won't believe you."
Under Ayra's burning gaze, Max held up four fingers very helplessly, "I swear, everything | said is true, Mom, he's really back."
Each word, like a lightning strike, struck Ayra's heart hard.
She staggered back several steps, and the only trace of blood left on her face finally disappeared cleanly.
The next second, they turned around and ran straight upstairs.

Max called out to her several times from behind, but got no response.
| had no choice but to follow them upstairs.
When | arrived at Ayra's room, | found her packing her bags.
To be precise, it is forcing the luggage.
It does not care what is actually thrown into the box, as long as the hand can reach, a brain are thrown into the box.
In the short two minutes that Max was upstairs, Ayra put a dozen silk nightgowns inside.
But now it is autumn and winter, this kind of nightgown does not cin handy.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Max stepped forward to block it, "Calm down."
"I'm cool with it." Ayra replied, but her hands kept moving, "I just suddenly remembered | had to make a trip to the temple
recently, so I'm packing up and leaving first thing in the morning."
"But | see you looking like you're going to run away for the night." Max poked mercilessly, "Are you that afraid of my dad coming
back?"
Hearing this, Ayra's hand paused.
Afraid?
Not so much.
| just don't want to see Nathan, and | don't want to face the whole lot of bad things about Nathan.
So much so that when she first heard that he was back, she couldn't wait to escape to the Buddhist temple for speace and
quiet.
"Running away is not going to solve anything." Max reminded, "Instead of running away like this, you should face it frankly."
Face it?
Ayra laughed softly, but her eyes were full of sadness.
"You tellinstead, how am | going to face it?"

With her skills, there was no way she could have fought Nathan.
Otherwise it would not have been tolerated for so many years.
"You guys can't even try to keep him in the deep mountains yet, let alone me, I'm even more impossible." Ayra shook her head,
already beginning to give up on herself, "It's still a clean place like the temple that suits me."
"Let's face it together." Max said, "Although | do not know exactly what went wrong this time, but as long as the investigation, we
can certainly find the reason, Mom, believe me, you do not face, do you want to hide forever?"
After a pause, he added, "If you really want to hide, then fine, I'll hide with you, and Talia and | don't have to do our wedding, we
can all hide."
Ayra's eyes widened at once, "You morally kidnapped me?"
"If that helps, then I'll admit it. Anyway, | just want you to be strong in the face of all this, and | need your help, and | can help
you."
Max's words were sincere and his eyes were full of pleas, "Trustfor once, okay?"
Not as a mother and son who believe, but as an ally.
