NovelEnglishChapter 295 I playfully nibbled on his neck and teased, "You ever heard the saying, 'you're holding your whole world, so does it feel heavy?"" With a gentle motion, he laiddown on the bed, cradling my head with his hand. "Yeah, my whole world," he murmured. For a moment, I was reminded of his reputation - once known as the Grim Reaper.
He'd returned to take over the Hilton family, even forcing out Alan Hilton. In Bravenland, he was a master strategist, and in Serythia, he wielded influence like few others. A man like that, naturally proud and confident.
And yet, he just confessed that in love, he was the insecure one.
Maybe it's because I had run off twice before, leaving him with semotional scars.

"It means the whole world. Next time, remember to wear shoes when you get out of bed. The hallway floor is cold, don't catch a chill." Warmth filled my heart.
He truly cared for me, right down to the smallest details of my well-being.
As a smile crept onto my lips, I couldn't help but recall how Max had disciplined them earlier. I bit my lip, choosing not to ask about it. Perhaps there was something wrong withphysically.
Maybe I should get a check-up tomorrow. But everyone at the hospital knows Max and me, so he'd hear about it right away. I'll need to find a way to keep it from him.
I looped my arms around his neck and said, "How about we get our marriage license tomorrow?" Max seemed momentarily taken aback by my suggestion.
"If you don't want to, that's fine," I said, my confidence waning.
"No, it's not that. I just didn't expect you'd be so eager. How about we book an appointment at the courthouse?" He nibbled on my earlobe, sending a ticklish shiver through me, makinggiggle.
"Does Mr. Hilton need an appointment too?" "Being a good citizen means following the rules, setting a good example for our future." He knew I liked doing things the traditional way, so he chose the simple route.
"Alright, then I'll get you a gift tomorrow too." "You're the best gift I could ever have." His warm breath tickled my ear, and I could feel the heat radiating from him.

Then, once Richard is better, when Garrett has taken the throne in Serythia, and my sister in Bravenland becomes queen, we can invite them to our wedding." I was testing the waters, but Max seemed too preoccupied to refuse. "Sounds good. We'll have someone pick a date for us." As we spoke, his movements heightened my sensitivity to him, takingto another world.
"Max..." I called his nin sheer comfort.
He responded with a gentle "hmm." "So what are you hiding from me..." I couldn't help but press my hands against his chest, holding him at bay, looking seriously at him, still wanting to ask.
But his hands gripped my waist, pullinginto him, leaving no room for my thoughts to wander.
"Jerk." He smirked, placing a finger on my lips. "I'm only a jerk for you."
His playful antics lefttoo exhausted to continue questioning him
I drifted into a deep sleep, waking only when the housekeeper calledin the morning. That's when learned that Helen had been sent away for a few days.
She'd left without a word, maybe because her wounds from yesterday were deeper than I thought? I couldn't help but worry, so I called her, only "Mr.
