A wave of uneasiness overtook Janice. She immediately drove back to the mansion Max bought for her.
As expected, Max wasn’t in this mansion either.
She drove to the Wenley mansion, but after thinking about it, she didn’t try to enter the house.
Max hadn’t brought her home yet, so she couldn’t intrude upon them like this. It would make her appear too impatient.
Where did he go?
The only possibility that Janice could think of was that he was attending a social gathering.
She parked her car by the pavement and made calls to people close to Max.
However, after a series of calls, she still couldn’t find out where he was.
Without any news about Max, Janice could only return resentfully. It wasn’t as though she was dying to see him, but she thought that she might feel more at ease if she could see him now.
…
Max was in the villa that he used to live in with Shannon. Naturally, he learned about the miscarriage earlier than Janice had.
The servants had already been sent away. He sat on the rocking chair that Shannon used to sit in on the second floor, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
All this time, he had always seen her as a dull and boring woman. He had married her just to avoid trouble and to handle his physical needs.
However, when he heard the news, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as though it had been stabbed with countless needles.
Last night, the image of her sprawled on the ground and begging him kept replaying in his mind, affecting his sleep.
“Prepare the car. We’re going to Janice’s place.” Max stood up and ordered the driver coldly, feeling extremely irritated.
The car sped towards Janice’s home, but when they arrived, Janice was nowhere to be seen.
“Call her.” Max sat on the sofa with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
The maid immediately called Janice, then prepared a coffee for him.
Janice was stunned for a moment when she received the call, but she soon put on her signature smile.
He still cared about her. No matter how much time had passed, she was the person he cared about the most.
She immediately drove home. When she opened the door and saw Max smoking on the sofa, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
In the past, he rarely smoked so much. Furthermore, his gaze was so chilling that no one dared to approach him.
“I thought you were going to work late. Are you tired? I’ll get the servants to prepare a bath for you.” Janice’s voice was unbearably gentle as she walked to the sofa and cleared the ashtray that was filled with cigarette butts.
Max’s gaze finally fell on her. The cigarette in his hand was finally extinguished, but the fire in his eyes was still burning.
“Dusty pink. This colour suits you very well.” He leaned forward and gripped Janice’s chin, his voice low and cold.
Janice smiled, then held his hand gently and leaned into him.
She didn’t dare to look into his eyes. She didn’t know why, but those eyes felt distant to her, making her panic.
Others might not be able to tell, but she could.
Max could smell the fragrance emitting from her body, and the fire in his cold eyes burned even more fiercely. He reached out, then picked her up and walked upstairs.
Janice wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, her heart suddenly filled with anticipation. Ever since she came back, he hadn’t touched her even once.
She pressed her chin tightly against his neck, her warm breath on his earlobe.
It has been a long time, but Janice still remembered where Max’s sensitive spot was.
Max threw her down onto the expensive European-style bed.
“Max, I love you. I’m so grateful that we’re back together.” Janice lay on the bed, her watery eyes filled with gentle love.
Max looked intently at her. She didn’t know why, but the person in front of her was…
He didn’t kiss her lips…
When he kissed her, he became even more frustrated, and in one tug, he tore her clothes away.
However, Shannon’s figure suddenly appeared in his mind. He suddenly stopped moving and frowned, then flipped his body and lay on his back. Could it be that he was used to having her?
“Max, are you too tired? I know you’re busy with work, but you still need to rest. Why don’t we go on a holiday?” Max’s sudden stop disappointed her, but she still raised a gentle smile and raised the suggestion.
Max turned to look at Janice. It was a face that he had missed for a long time, but he didn’t know what had gone wrong.
“I don’t feel like traveling. There are still things to settle in the company, so I’ll leave first.” Max got up, put on his suit, and headed downstairs.
The sound of his footsteps were like heavy blows on Janice’s heart.
She lay on the bed, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Intuitively, she knew that Max could never be that heartless to Shannon.
Max strode out of the villa, took the car keys from the driver and drove off.
His gaze was as deep as an icy lake, and his expression was as cold as an iceberg.
He didn’t know why, but he felt unhappy. Now that he was rid of all that trouble, shouldn’t he be happy?
These questions made Max extremely frustrated, and he kept accelerating.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had pulled up in front of a hospital.
She seemed to be in this hospital.
As though he was possessed, he involuntarily got out of the car and walked inside.
“President Wenley?” The director was about to leave for the day when he saw a wealthily-dressed figure walking in.
Max walked in coolly, his hands in his pockets.
“President Wenley, what brings your esteemed presence here to our tiny small suburban hospital?” The director obviously recognised President Wenley, so he quickly went up to greet him.
Max eyed the director coldly. He was preparing to walk out, but he stopped after taking two steps.
“Which ward is Shannon in?” he asked in an icy tone.
Although the director didn’t know what was going on, he still turned around and asked the nurse to check.
“President Wenley, Miss Zanders was hospitalized due to a miscarriage. She didn’t manage to keep the baby, but fortunately, she was sent here in time. Her body has recovered, and she was discharged at noon,” the director answered Max respectfully.
Max frowned. She left? Where could she go?
“President Wenley, I…”
Before the director could finish speaking, Max had already walked out.

He drove straight to Mrs. Weiss’ house. This was the place he found her in yesterday.
However, Mrs. Weiss told him that she didn’t know where Shannon was.
Max got back into the car and slammed his hand on the steering wheel!
A trace of anger appeared in his cold eyes. She was no longer his wife, and naturally did not need his concern.
After staying in the car for a while, Max finally decided to go to the company. Only the company’s work could calm him down..
