Chapter 251
Maximilian frowned, his voice carrying a hint of questioning.
Jesse sensed the unfriendly tone in Maximilian's voice and asked nervously, "W-What's wrong?"
Maximilian's expression was serious, and he said word by word, "Today's Katniss is a bit strange."
Jesse was slightly curious. He also wanted to know how Katniss would "love" Maximilian, so he asked, "How is she strange?"
"She..." Maximilian hadn't finished speaking when he immediately reacted and continued questioning, "Did you ask Katniss to do something?"
Jesse cried out in grievance, "No, I wouldn't dare. Besides, you know Katniss's personality well. What could I possibly make her do? You're overestimating me."
It wasn't that he was underestimating himself.
With Maximilian and his wife, who could he command?
Maximilian thought about it and agreed, then hung up the phone directly.
Jesse was a bit frustrated. He had piqued his curiosity, and then said nothing? So, Jesse called back directly, but Maximilian mercilessly hung up.
He called again, and Maximilian continued to hang up.
He persisted, and Maximilian picked up, saying, "I see you really want to join the medical team going to Zuridia."
Jesse was infuriated by Maximilian.
Damn it!
He spoke in a flattering tone on the other end of the line, "No, no. I'm just curious... right, Maximilian, you've never had a girlfriend. You don't understand a girl's mind. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I promise to help you understand clearly." Maximilian pondered for a moment, feeling that Jesse's words made some sense.
But after thinking it over, he decided to observe a bit more. Perhaps Katniss was in an exceptionally good mood today.
Jesse's call was ultimately hung up by Maximilian, and he didn't get any answers. However, he could confirm one thing: Katniss had already started taking action.
Unexpectedly, Katniss's efficiency was so high, and the effect seemed quite obvious.
After more than an hour, Katniss finally finished cooking.
Mira sensibly went out for a walk. Missing one meal or eating a bit later wasn't a big deal.
Katniss made beef stew, roasted vegetables, and an Italian pasta soup.
Regardless of the taste, the presentation looked very good, and the aroma was enticing.
"Try it..." Katniss forked a piece of beef into Maximilian's bowl, "See if it's tender."
Maximilian nodded and took a bite.
The beef's flavor mixed with the sweetness of the carrots, and the texture was indeed very good.
He couldn't help but eat a few more pieces and praised, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Actually, it was always good.
However, he felt today's dish was particularly delicious, though he wasn't sure if it was just an illusion.
Katniss's clear eyes sparkled, "Then I'll cook for you often, okay?"
Maximilian was slightly surprised, then immediately nodded, "Okay."
Katniss happily started eating.
After listening to Jesse's words today, Katniss was still thinking about how to make up for Maximilian's lack of love.
Then she thought of her past life.
She genuinely cared for everyone in the Manners family, but they didn't appreciate it.
Moreover, such care didn't necessarily involve romantic feelings, which made Katniss feel much more comfortable. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face this issue from a marital perspective.
So, she decided to use her past life's skills to pamper him, just like she pampered the Manners family before.

Katniss talked about many things at the dinner table.
About school, about the teachers, about the upcoming International Medical Association training.
Maximilian mostly listened quietly, but occasionally made some summarizing remarks. They ended the dinner pleasantly.
After dinner, Maximilian was responsible for washing the dishes.
Katniss originally thought that Maximilian, who rarely did housework, would be like many rich young masters, either not cleaning properly or breaking the dishes. Aren't there such scenes in novels and TV dramas?
But Maximilian did very well.
The dishes were put away cleanly, and he did it with elegance and efficiency, without any delay.
Katniss couldn't help but marvel and praise, "Maximilian, you're really amazing. Not only are you good at business, but you're also great at housework."
Maximilian's eyes had a faint smile, "Many things are interconnected. Besides, this kind of task is just simple physical labor, not requiring much thought."
Katniss agreed.
So, if someone can't even wash dishes properly or breaks them, it can only be said that they are not attentive enough. Maximilian, no matter what he does, big or small, is very focused.noveldrama
Maximilian once said, either don't do it, or do it as well as possible.
After today, Maximilian thought that his relationship with Katniss would return to the way it was before. Although close, not intimate. But unexpectedly, in the following week, Katniss's enthusiasm not only didn't wane but increased.
"Mr. Hamilton, there's a party tonight with the construction materials company..."
"Not going." Maximilian looked at the time on his watch and hurriedly interrupted his assistant, "Reschedule it."
After saying that, he grabbed his coat and left directly.
The assistant was a bit confused and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hamilton, do you have something more important?"
Maximilian was a very career-driven person.
But if there were other arrangements, wouldn't his assistant know?

Did he overlook something?
Maximilian paused, "Going home."
He had a smile on his lips.
Just thinking about Katniss sharing her daily life with him today made his lips curl up uncontrollably.
The assistant was stunned after hearing this.
So, the boss has been leaving on time recently not to avoid overtime but to go home?
This-
This doesn't fit the boss's character at all.
Is something wrong?
Katniss didn't have classes in the afternoon, so she got home early tonight.
She had been stewing lamb all afternoon, with only some Chinese herbs like angelica, astragalus, and codonopsis to nourish the blood and energy.
Maximilian had lost a lot of blood before, so she planned to make different nourishing dishes to help him recover.
To have more alone time with Maximilian, and since her coursework wasn't too heavy recently, Katniss directly gave Mira a half-month vacation. For the next half month, she would cook breakfast and dinner for Maximilian.
When Maximilian returned, he smelled the aroma of food.
He could clearly feel the hunger induced by the food's fragrance.
"Just in time." Katniss brought out the dishes, her smiling face coming into
Maximilian's view.
He quickly stepped forward, "Let me carry it, be careful."
"Go wash your hands." Katniss's tone was cheerful, "The last dish is almost ready, and
we can start eating."
Maximilian washed his hands and naturally set the table.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of being a couple.
What do you think?
