Chapter 516
Briana lowered her gaze, and after a while, she finally spoke, “Grandma, both he and I are currently prioritizing our careers, planning to discuss it again in a couple of years.”
Over the past six months, every time Kiley went for a prenatal check- up, she would send Maxim a message about the condition of the baby in her belly. At first, Maxim ignored it, but as the frequency increased, he occasionally responded to Kiley with a word or two.
Briana knew that he was grateful to Kiley because Kiley had saved Norma and Kendra before, but she still couldn’t accept that Kiley was still standing between them.
Norma frowned, saying somewhat displeased, “Did Maxim do
something to upset you again?! When he comes back from his business trip, I will definitely give him a good scolding!”
Briana looked up at her, smiled and said, “Grandma, no, it has nothing. to do with him. My company has just stabilized now. I want to wait until the company is well developed before considering remarriage.”
Upon hearing this, a flash of heartache passed through Norma’s eyes. She had seen Briana’s efforts over the past six months.
If Maxim hadn’t treated her badly in the first place, making her heart grow cold, how could she be working so hard now?
“Sigh… Do as you please, anyway, I just hope you can be happy. If Maxim treats you badly, you don’t need to consider my feelings, do what you have to do.”
Briana looked at Norma, touched, and nodded, saying, “Yes, Grandma,
I know.”
After finishing her meal, Briana left the Harmony Villa.
On the way back, Briana, couldn’t help but ponder the relationship between herself and Maxim.
In the past six months, Maxim had been very good to her, almost fulfilling her every request, but she always felt that there was a thin veil between them. No matter how hard she tried, the distance remained neither far nor near.
She also understood that there was a problem between them, but she was somewhat at a loss, not knowing how to solve it.
Just as I pulled up at the villa entrance, my phone suddenly rang.
Briana quickly picked it up, seeing that the caller was Melody, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.
He had been on a business trip for three days, and during these three days, he hadn’t made a single phone call to himself.
Didn’t know if it was really too busy, or simply forgot.
Briana suppressed the irritation in her eyes and answered the phone.
“What happened?”
And Briana knew nothing, she had never visited Hector even once.
Just the work that Hector delayed for half a year resulted in losses of tens of millions, let alone the pain he often suffered from the after- effects!
Sensing Keith’s hostility towards her, Briana was somewhat baffled, but still managed to smile and say, “Keith, have I offended you in some way? Why are you being so rude today?”
Keith wanted to mock her a few more times, but was interrupted by

Hector on the sickbed.
“Keith, I was hungry. Could you go buy me some porridge?”
Keith glanced at him irritably, but still put down the apple in his hand and got up to leave.
Passed by Briana, with a cold expression, didn’t even glance at him.
Briana walked over and sat by the hospital bed, looking at Hector with some confusion, “Did I unintentionally offend Keith?”
