Chapter 626 Unexpected Request

Chapter 626 Unexpected Request

The guest house wasn't small, it was at least bigger than a three bedroom apartment back on earth.

With a sweep of his bloodline sense, he immediately found Claire and her son. They were in one of the rooms, which especially made for cultivation.

Claire was watching her son, Kevin, do breathing exercises but her mind was somewhere else.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?"

"Ah!" The sudden voice startled her and her cry broke Kevin's focus.

"S-Sir Max? You frightened me." She said, patting her chest. She then looked at Kevin and said, "Greet your... uncle, Kevin." "Uncle?" Kevin blinked and looked at her mother strangely. "He doesn't look like an uncle."

Hearing this, Max smiled, "Yeah. I'm no uncle. You can call me..."

He was about to say big brother but then realized what kind of relationship he had with his mother and felt awkward.

"Well, you can call me by my name, Max." He said.

"Is that alright?" Kevin looked at her mother, who had already told him to not call anyone older than him by their names.

Claire nodded, "Yeah. Since he wants you to address him by his name, you can." Saying this, she added, "Alright. You continue your breathing exercises. I'll go talk to him."

"Okay, mom." Kevin nodded, and closed his eyes.

The duo then left the room and arrived in the living room.

Claire appeared nervous and shy. She kept her gaze down as she asked, "Um, should I bring you something to drink? There is fruit juice and some great tea."

'The only thing I can do now is take care of her properly.' He sighed as Claire continued.

"But I also feel grateful to you because if it was someone else, they wouldn't have cared about us enough to try to save us."

"Since now for better or for worse we are... bound to you... I have a request for you. As long as you fulfill this request of mine, I wouldn't blame you even if we... I was to die in the next few days."

While inwardly praising her for her composure, and her breath of mind, he asked, "What is it? As long as it is something I can do... I'll do it."

Claire took a deep breath and said two words with utmost seriousness.

"...Marry me."

"Huh?"

Max's eyes opened wide and even his mouth fell open. He was completely and truly stunned.

Claire's heart shook when she saw his reaction. She closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to see his face when he answered and said.

"I said, marry me."

"I heard you." Max said, almost stuttering. Even though he had several women, he hadn't thought about marriage even for a second. So, when he heard her, he naturally was stunned.

"I'm awaiting your answer." Claire said.

Max had recovered his senses now. So, he noticed the tremble in her voice, her loud heartbeat, her clenched hands, and with her bloodline sense, he also noticed the cold sweat on her back.

The longer he kept quiet, the harder it was becoming to her to keep her composure.

"Can I ask you something before I give you my answer?" He asked.
