Chapter 576: An Unexpected Turn Of Events
Max saw that the call was from Lear's father.
"Hello.." He picked it up. It was most probably to ask about his wife's condition. But Max was in for a surprise.
"I am here," Ander's voice sounded from the other end.
It really surprised Max because there was no way that he could have reached the place this soon. At most it would be tomorrow morning or noon.
Max talked to him for a while before hanging it up.
It seed that he was coming to the hotel. He wanted to see Lesia as soon as possible. What surprised Max was that he actually didn't want to et her but just stay by her side and observe her. It seed he was feeling guilty for not allowing her out for a while and especially not taking her to et her sons.
So, he decided to take the role of bystander and observe her until she satisfied herself. After all, now that Lesia was here, she would definitely not return without seeing Lear. So, it actually didn't matter anymore whether he revealed himself sooner or later. They would spend the sa amount of ti here anyway.
"It's good that he arrived. But what would I say when he is here?" Max really felt troubled now. Lear's mom was in the Roxley House. He just hoped that Ander wouldn't react in a wrong manner.
At this mont, his phone began to ring again. This ti, it was an unknown number. Max picked it up and a sweet and feminine voice sounded from the other hand, "Hello, Max?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"I am Lora's mom, linda."
Max's face changed and his tone imdiately beca more polite. He had noticed that linda had deliberately introduced herself as Lora's mom. She was definitely trying to show her friendliness which was polar opposite to Roman. Max couldn't be any more happy to accept it.
"Yes, Aunty. How are you?" Max replied, throwing down all the formalities.
linda seed to be very pleased with Max's tone. She was obviously happy that he didn't sound angry or upset on the face at least.
"I am extrely sorry for what happened with my husband earlier." She apologized for it.
Max was pleased a bit. At least her mother was very sensible and she even managed to find out about the incident so quickly.
"I am sending soone to pick you up. You can treat him like your servant. If he doesn't listen to you then just tell ."
Max was a bit confused by her words but that wasn't the point here. Lear's father was coming. He couldn't possibly leave now.
"I am sorry, but I don't think I can make it now. I had so urgent work co up. Please say sorry to Lora for . I will definitely co another day." Max apologized with a sigh. He was going to miss a golden opportunity today.
"Well, then just refuse the person who is coming to get you. He can actually be pretty stubborn once he makes up his mind. I can't do anything about him," linda replied with a smile.
Max felt a bit weird. Was she sending a servant to invite him or so important person? Anyway, he just gave it a nod and told her that he would do it.
…
On the other side, a man arrived at the entrance of the Hotel.
It was Lear's father, Ander Barnes.
He currently seed to be in a disguise and was travelling all alone. After he entered the place, he imdiately went towards the upper floor. Max had already told him which room to co to.
Andre was stopped by a guard mid way but it was easily dealt with. After all, Max had made arrangents for him to pass through.
Once Ander reached the place, he found Max standing at the door waiting for him.
"Hello.." Max awkwardly greeted him with a slight bow. Ander really had a good disguise on, even Max couldn't tell it out.
Ander looked at Max and smiled before giving him a hug and patting his back. "This is how you should be greeting your Uncle.."
It seed he had already accepted Max into his family. Max didn't mind though. It wasn't bad after all.
"You don't know how much trouble you have saved from. I really can't thank you enough," Ander said with a grateful face as he looked at Max. If it wasn't for Max, he would have actually one crazy searching for his wife.
"It's nothing.." Max shook his head with a smile. It was a bit troubleso, but for Lear, Max was willing to bear it.
"So, where is she?" Ander couldn't seem to wait another second to see his wife.
"Umn.." Max forced a smile on his face and it made Ander frown.
"Is she alright?" He couldn't help it, but ask a bit nervously.
"Yes, she is fine. It's just that she is not here at the mont," Max replied while sweating a bit.
"What do you an?" Ander's expression turned dark.
"She is out for dinner.."
Ander relaxed on hearing that and then asked, "Where?"
"Roxley House," Max replied as his face twitched a bit.
"..."
A silence ensued in the surrounding.
"Is this a joke?" Ander looked at Max, who shook his head.
"What was she thinking?" Thankfully, Ander didn't react crazily and just sighed at his wife's action. Max didn't tell him that he was the mastermind behind it. After all, he wasn't a fool.
Ander imdiately took his transmitter out and went towards the corner before dialing on soone's frequency. He even deployed a mana barrier to stop the voice from leaking out. To be honest, Max would have failed to hear anything in such a situation but Ander was currently restraining himself to the Master Tier.
When the situation paired up with Max's godly ears and spirit energy, it beca a bane for Ander's barrier.
Max could hear everything crystal clear, "Hello, yeah my wife is at your ho…..Yeah, she is using her stage na from back in the day....take care of her for …."
Max's eyes widened in surprise. There was soone in the Roxley House whom Ander had so much trust in? Now, that was surprising. He wondered who it was?
As Ander turned around and ca towards Max, his eyes suddenly widened and he stopped in his tracks.
Max was initially confused with the look on his face. But, he soon realized that Ander wasn't looking at him. He imdiately turned around and cursed inwardly when he saw that familiar face.
It was Roxley Lord.
His expression wasn't good either.
Roman continued to look at Ander with an ugly face before he muttered in an icy tone, "Barnes…"
