Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

Max noticed Chleo's change in mood as he got down to open the car door next to the girl. "What is it? Why do you look sad?"

Chleo instantly changed her expression and acted as if nothing happened. For some reason, she felt… Max didn't have the same feelings as her.

"No. I'm not sad." Chleo was about to get out of the car, but Max suddenly stood up, blocking the exit, so she couldn't find an opening to land her feet on the ground.

Chleo looked at Max in confusion. What else could this man want?

"Could it be that you're sad that I let go of your hand?"

Yup, Max instantly knew the answer as soon as he saw Chleo's wide-eyed eyes. Max chuckled because Chleo's expression was like an open book. Everyone would immediately identify what the girl was feeling.

"No… no… I totally…" Chleo could no longer speak when Max took her hand again and gently pulled her out of the car.

Chleo lowered her head in shame, with her heart beating with so much joy.

"As for your question earlier, we'll talk about it after you finish the missing design. For now, you should just focus on your work. What do you think?"

Chleo nodded her head shyly. Ah, Max didn't want to distract her. That's why the man didn't answer her right away. If that's the case, then why was this man holding her hand the whole way here? Ever since Max asked for permission to hold her hand, her focus had been completely diverted! She had not given much thought to the missing design.

In the end, Chleo complied and let the man lead her into a… mansion??

Chleo glanced at Max with a questioning look. When she asked what the man's job was, she remembered that Max said he was just an ordinary office photographer in a small town in England. This year he took a leave and was on vacation in America.

So she thought Max was staying at a hotel or Dietrich's apartment. Or at least an ordinary house owned by ordinary people instead of a luxury and magnificent mansion that only the super and above could have.

"You live here?" Chleo couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer.

"That's right. I live here. Why do you ask?"

"Ah no. I just didn't think... Does your family live here?" Maybe, this mansion doesn't belong to Max. Perhaps this place belongs to his family, who were more well-off than Max. Thought Chleo.

"I don't have a family. My father and mother died a long time ago."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. You must be so sad."

"It's been a long time."

"Then you live here with your sister?"

"Sister?" Max forgot the fact that Chleo had met Fye as his sister for a moment. "Ah, her… I'll tell you later."

After Max finished saying his last sentence, an older man in a butler-like uniform came up to them.

"Master X, the reading room you wanted is ready to use."

"Hmm. Thank you. Come on, follow me." once again, Max led Chleo further inside and up to the second floor.

On the other hand, Chleo was too confused by all the sights she had just seen. All this time, she thought Max was just an ordinary man. Chleo had accepted this fact and liked the man for who he was. Chleo had even prepared herself to defend this man in case her father and uncle would not give their blessing.

But what is this? Max lived in a mansion whose price can buy several star hotels. Not only that, that guy also has a butler? Chleo also had time to see several maids passing by doing their respective jobs.

Who exactly is this Maximillian? His job was just an ordinary photographer, but to have a residence as luxurious as this... was unbelievable. Not to mention there were so many servants... and it seemed like... these numbers were much more than her home in New York!?

Well, her father and mother preferred to have a few maids and servants, so they only hired trusted people who already worked for them for a long time.

If it turns out that Maximillian's background belongs to one of the societies equal to her family, why has she been worried all this time? Chleo would find it easier to persuade her family if it turns out that was the case.

The sound of the door opening snapped Chleo out of her thoughts. Max took her in and opened the balcony door so that they could see the view outside. Chleo was struck with awe until she was speechless when she saw what she was seeing.

Chleo saw green meadows and various colors of flowers there. Not only that, she saw a pink camellia flower! How could that be? It's not camellia season, is it?

Chleo also saw so many butterflies and small birds playing there. Don't the butterflies usually appear in the spring? Why are they appear in this winter season?

Seeing Chleo, who was constantly amazed and kept smiling happily, made Max smile with relief. Luckily he didn't stop Fye from creating her playground behind the mansion. Otherwise, he couldn't borrow the 'playground' to amaze his lovely girl.

The temperature in that place was not too chilly when compared to other areas. That's why Max didn't have to worry about Chleo getting cold even if the balcony door was wide open.

Fye was the violet king who represented spring in this world. Creating her mini astral world into this place was easy for her. Fye still hasn't been able to return to her astral world. The gate was still locked for some unknown reason. That's why she created her own playground so she could rest there whenever she missed her personal space.

Who would have thought, once Fye left, Max could borrow this place to please his girl.

"Okay. I'm even more fire up now." Chleo exclaimed enthusiastically, making Max laugh out loud.

She's really charming when full of spirit like this.
