Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

The truth is Max was aware that Chleo was watching his every move as he put Chleo's suitcases into his trunk. In his heart, he was happy because it turned out that the girl adored him as much as he did.

Moreover, he had a secret that he couldn't say to anyone. A rather disturbing secret and maybe… would make a girl's view of him change.

Ever since he had a love affair with the girl, he would come to the girl's room almost every night just to look at her sleeping face. Does that mean he's officially a stalker? But he couldn't help it.

As a ruler of nature, his feelings when falling in love are beyond no word. In fact, many times stronger than true love known by ordinary humans.

Maybe that's why Katalina, the previous red queen was able to sacrifice her life to save her lover. Rulers of nature who could only fall in love once in their lifetime would not be able to live alone in this world when their partner was gone.

Now we know why Axelard attempted suicide several times because he could not stand the pain of losing his love. Unlike the other rulers, the blue king could never die no matter how many times his heart was stabbed. He would surely rise again and experience the pain of losing his love for all his whole life.

Fortunately, nature gave the blue king a second chance, and he met his true love once again. He even managed to change his love's tragic fate. However, who and why his memory was sealed, still a mystery. Thanks to that, Max couldn't remember his wife or who his true love was. Neither did he remember he was the ice prince who had helped little Chleo a dozen years ago.

Nevertheless, he fell in love with the same girl without him knowing it.

Max propped one hand on the trunk of his sedan and bent slightly so Chleo wouldn't have to tilt her head up when he saw her.

He loved to tease his girl and saw her adorable bashful face.

"Why... Why are you looking at me like that?" Chleo felt that her heart wasn't strong when the young man stared at her like this.

"Can't I?" Instead of answering, the man asked her a question.

"I… that… embarrassed me."

"I feel injustice. I want to enjoy this beautiful creature in front of me too."

No one knew whether Chleo's heart was still beating or not. Perhaps her heart had even left its place and soared high into heaven.

Ah!! Just forget it! If this man decided to tease her, then she would also strike back.

Max was still engrossed in looking at his girl's overwhelmed expression, gasped in surprise. How could he not? The girl suddenly moved closer and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head leaned right in front of his chest, making him palpitate for a moment. He was pretty sure Chleo could hear his heartbeat because the girl was as tall as where his heart was.

"Uhm… are you seducing me?"

Chleo's head lifted while pouting her lips cutely.

"I miss you for not seeing each other for a week. Don't you miss me?" Her scowl made Max chuckle in amusement and then hugged the girl back.

"Of course I miss you. But, I thought you didn't like to have intimacy in public?"

It is true. During this time, Chleo kept a little distance when they went out in public. Even just holding hands, Chleo politely refused. She didn't want her bodyguards to become suspicious of their relationship and report it to her super-protective father.

That's why she could only indulge when they were at home or in her office.

But now, her father knew she was in a relationship with Max. Her father and mother even wanted to meet their daughter's lover soon. Because of that, Chleo no longer cared whether her bodyguards would report her public affection to her father. After all, the father also knew his daughter already had a lover.

This time Chleo wouldn't keep her distance even if they were in a public place. She would enjoy her date to the fullest without worrying about anything.

"It's not that I don't like it, but I have reasons. Actually, this is the reason I wanted to talk to you about."

"The one you mentioned when you were in Honolulu?"

"Hmm. I hope you're not mad at me."

Max smiled gently to get rid of all Chleo's worries and anxieties. Chleo was afraid that Max would be cautious of her once he found out her identity. She was worried that Max would be reluctant and awkward when she was with him.

She liked the current Max. A man who acts as he is and treats her like she is his everything. This man never looked down on her or above her like some leecher. Maximillian always showered her pure love selflessly and gave her genuine affection.

Chleo didn't want Max's current attitude to change once she told the man who her parents were.

"Max, to tell you the truth, I… I…"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Ah?"

"Let's get something to eat."

"But..." Chleo doubted she would find her courage again if she didn't say it now.

"If you're still not ready to say it, you don't have to say it now. How about we find a warmer place? Your hands are already cold like ice."

Max grasped Chleo's hands tightly. No one knew which was colder between their hands, but neither of them minded it. Then Max led Chleo to get into his car after opening the car door for the girl. Then he quickly turned around and got into the driver's seat.

As usual, Max held Chleo's hand while the other controlled the steering wheel.

The car was equipped with an auto-drive program that could drive itself to its destination without controlling the steering wheel. But Chleo did not know the existence of this function in his car. And Max still wanted to hide his status even longer.

Furthermore, Max enjoyed Chleo's adoring gaze, who always watched him control the steering wheel with just one hand. He thought Chleo's adoring gaze attracted him the most than the other girls' gazes.

During the trip, Chleo recounted her vacation experience with her family in Honolulu until she realized that their path was not the way to her house area.

Was it possible that Max wanted to take her out to dinner out of town? But Chleo didn't ask and continued to talk and listen to Max's daily life when the young man told the story.

Not long after, Chleo realized the way they were going was where the young man's mansion was.

Chleo was a little confused about why Max had brought her to the man's residence instead of her. Nevertheless, she kept her curiosity in her heart and kept on telling the story.

"Then, at Melodie and Harmonie's birthday, we had a game to prank adults. There was a game where wives were blindfolded and then followed the directions of their husbands to dress their husbands' faces. The result was truly epic. The faces of grown men who are burly and big were covered in lipstick and eyeliner." Chleo laughed out loud as she spoke.

Max also laughed along while feeling relieved he wasn't married and didn't have a niece like Chleo. Otherwise… he couldn't imagine his face would be smudged with perfunctory make-up.

They were still laughing with amusement until Max made an astonishing suggestion.

"Chleo, how about you stay at my place from now on?"

"Ah?"

"I don't want you to live there alone. At that time, there was still your brother, so I let it be. But now your brother is in New York, and a few days ago, there was news of kidnapping and rape in your area. I feel uneasy if you live there alone."

"But… that…" Chleo didn't know what to say to reject the man.

Since she understood the meaning of dating and getting married, her parents often advised her not to give herself entirely to a man if she wasn't legally married.

Yet, in this day and age, especially in America, everyone was free to live with anyone. Some of her friends already have their own house with their lovers. But her father was too old-fashioned and didn't want his children to violate family principles.

No matter what, the unmarried couple must not live under the same roof, let alone one room, and have sexual relations. It was a shameful act and a sin to impart chastity at the wrong time.

Her father said that having sex on the first night of marriage was much sweeter and more memorable than doing it out of lust… and that was before the wedding.

Max probably didn't say it outright, but by asking her to live in his house… doesn't that mean they'll do it sooner or later too?

She didn't want to violate her father's upbringing, but… she didn't want to refuse her lover's offer.

What should she do?
