Chapter 614. I'm in Love

“Hahahaha,” Paul Edwards burst into laughter as the call ended. It was on loudspeakers, so he and Henry were also listening to the conversation in the car. Paul glanced at Henry in the backseat. “Carl, your man fell in love so much while on a mission.”

Henry chuckled.

“Come on, I was just trying to reassure her, that wasn’t about love,” Maxwell defended himself.

“Haha,” Paul laughed again and even Henry joined. “You meant it, young man. You’re in love with that lady.”

“Loverboy!” Henry jeered. He tried to mimic Maxwell in a funny tone. “I love you, Emily.”

Paul burst into laughter again, a louder one this time.

Maxwell was embarrassed as the two of them laughed at him. He regretted trying to defend himself. That had made him feel even more stupid.

There was silence in the car for a while until Paul spoke again.

“In missions like this, you need to learn how to keep your feelings away,” he counselled, looking straight at Maxwell’s face.
