Chapter 417 The Trap

Leila nodded. She didn't know how long she had been sleeping when she felt her body was held up gently. She looked at him with teary eyes. The man's side face was cold and solemn, and Leila was in a daze.

It was not until she got in the car that she could completely open her eyes. Max turned on the heat. Leila yawned and looked out of the window. It was almost midnight. She didn't expect that Max worked so late.

When they got back to the apartment, Max was about to go upstairs with Leila in his arms, but she told Max to keep waiting in the living room. Then she went into the kitchen and said, "you must be tired. Have a rest. Noodles will be fine after a while."

Max nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect Leila to understand his meaning. Soon, two bowls of noodles were served on the table. The man was in a good mood and had a good appetite. A bowl of noodles was soon finished.

When Leila came out of the kitchen, Max went to the study again, Leila to serve Max a glass of water, telling him not to be too late.

Turning off the computer, Max went to the room with Leila, with his body clung to her. Leila turned around to untie his tie. "You've been busy all day. Have a good rest!"

The man's big hand fumbled around her body restlessly, and Leila shook her head helplessly. She didn't know why this man had so much energy. Even if she didn't want to, she was seduced by Max.

She wanted to struggle, but in the eyes of the man, she was extraordinarily charming. Max quickly held her in his arms, and the two people held each other.

After a good night's sleep, Max left the apartment early again. She had seen how busy he was. Only after Leila had washed and changed did she remember Astrid. Today was her birthday party, and her first birthday in Lian family, so she naturally wanted to hold a big one.

After hesitating for a long time and getting no answer, Leila suddenly thought of Max. When she called him, she didn't expect that Max was in a meeting, so she left a message to the Secretary to tell her the location of Astrid's birthday party.

After a simple wash and dressing, Leila went there.

Astrid stood at the door of the hotel, dressed up nicely at any time. Leila had no idea what Astrid was going to do, because they barely knew each other, but Astrid kept inviting her.

"Leila, you are here. By the way, where is your husband? Why doesn't he accompany you?"

Astrid said it on purpose. Max had admitted that Leila was Mrs. Mu. But Max didn't go to the party with Leila today, which must make people misunderstand them not as lovers.

Leila seemed to have sensed the jealousy in other people's eyes. She smiled calmly, "there are a lot of things to deal with in the company. He is a little busy!"

If Max had known that he would probably disdain to attend such a banquet, Leila walked in out of politene

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

eal with those people who were not recognized.

He laughed at himself, "Leila, how capable you are to take my heart away!"

After drinking the red wine, Leila felt dizzy. She wanted to find Max so that she would be safe, but she was too exhausted after only taking two steps.

"Leila, are you okay? Are you too tired? Let me send you to the guest room."

Leila was taken to a rest in a lounge on the second floor by Astrid. Her eyelids were so heavy that she fell down on the bed and soon became unconscious.

Only vaguely heard a man and a woman talking. But Leila couldn't hear clearly what they said.

Max looked around the hall, but he couldn't find Leila. Frowning, he felt annoyed to be surrounded by a group of people, especially worried about Leila's safety. "Where's Astrid?" She was going to cut the cake. Where was this birthday girl?

There were many guests in the hall who were having a good time chatting with each other. But Leila didn't show up, which made Max more sure that Leila was in danger now

Even Veron was patrolling the hall, but he suddenly saw that Astrid went straight to the room upstairs. Veron could tell from her steps that she was a little unhappy. Astrid must be worried about something.

Not daring to neglect her, Veron followed her and knocked on the door. The man and woman frowned. They quickly stood up and said, "wait here. I'll go and see what's going on." The man was still greedy for the beauty of Leila.

After tidying up his clothes, the man opened the door slowly and saw an angry face of Veron.

"What are you doing? Do you know people downstairs are waiting for you? " He pushed away the man beside him and walked into the room. Very soon, his eyes passed Astrid and fell on the bed. Leila was lying quietly on the bed. He carefully observed the appearance on her face. Apparently, he didn't believe what Astrid said that she did nothing.
