Chapter 4563
Maddox asked with interest, “What’s going on? Did River come looking to settle scores? He wants you to take responsibility or something? Romina, are you heading out now? Tell me where, I’ll head over—this’ll be my chance to get that dinner you owe me.”
Romina replied, “I’m just about to head out. You said you were busy, so I figured I’d skip dinner with you today. I’m going shopping—to buy River ten new sets of clothes. I got his suit all messy last night, and now he’s demanding I compensate him with ten new outfits. Maddox, why do I feel like you’re enjoying this—you sound like you’re just here for the drama.”
Maddox chuckled, “I am enjoying the show, but I’m definitely not gloating. Romina, you and I—we’re not going to become lovers or a married couple, but we’re still friends. We trust each other. And friends care about each other—I care about you.”
Romina said, “We went on a blind date and were thinking about building something. Now River’s thrown himself into the middle of this, and that makes him your love rival. But you’re not even mad. You just seem entertained.”
“Are the melons that sweet, or are you just not interested in me?”
Maddox smiled. “What you feel about me is what I feel about you. We’re on the same page. Don’t make fun of me when you’re just a few steps ahead. Besides, River’s not exactly a love rival. Honestly, I kind of admire him. I’d like to be friends with him—I just don’t know if he’d be open to it.”
