A Late-Night Talk with MAX About Caroline

Night falls.

MAX's apartment.

"Etc!"

Max reached out to stop Adam: "We haven't gotten down to business yet."

"What important matter is it?"

Adam looked at NAXAN with a puzzled expression.

What do you think?

Max turned Adam's head back and forced them to look each other in the eye.

"You said you wanted to go to the horse farm to see Caroline's pet horse, right?"

Adam couldn't help but laugh and said, "I understand. The day after tomorrow, you guys go first, I'll check the rooms in the morning and then come find you."

"Aren't you coming with us?"

MAX said worriedly, "I heard from Caroline that those places are members-only, and ordinary people can't get in."

"Are you afraid Caroline will be humiliated and won't be able to get in?"

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, I promise."

"You promise?"

MAX was still a little worried.

"I promise!"

Adam raised his right hand, solemnly swearing. "In the name of NAXAM!"

"You're really giving me face."

MAX rolled his eyes. "I thank you on behalf of NAXAM!"

That's it?

Adam chuckled and said, "Your way of thanking me is so insincere. I don't expect you to be very sincere or to take many concrete actions, but a verbal thank you should at least be sincere and touching enough, right?"

"Then forget it."

MAX lay back and said, "I'm not replacing NAXAM anymore. Go find someone else!"

"Alright, go to sleep."

Adam didn't press the completely indifferent Max any further and said with a smile, "I'll read a book for a while first."

As he spoke, he got up and went to the study to get a mathematics monograph.

"Come over!"

MAX called out from the bedroom.

Adam smiled, took the book, and went inside. He lay on his side on the bed, letting Max hug him as he read.

This has become a habit.

Adam originally didn't want to disturb Max's sleep and was going to go to the living room to read.

But Max wasn't happy about it and insisted that Adam read in the bedroom with the lights on.

She doesn't mind the light being on and affecting her sleep.

Whether the lights are on or off makes no difference to her, who is known for her sharp tongue, vulgar remarks, and stubbornness, and who almost always falls asleep.

No matter how bright the light, it cannot awaken a soul wandering in another dimension.

Even though she later became more and more at ease, and knew when to stop criticizing Adam, no longer fainting after saying the harshest words, she could still have a few peaceful conversations with Adam.

She wouldn't let Adam go to the living room to read, preferring to use Adam as a pillow instead.

Twice the number of points in a straight line.

Max hugged Adam tightly, his face full of satisfaction.

Most people wouldn't be able to afford this kind of treatment.

Because a normal person's body cannot withstand such a long hug.

For specific examples, you can refer to Ross and Rachel.

Ross even invented the Hug Arm-Pull Method for this purpose.

That is, wait until Rachel falls asleep, then turn to your side and hug Rachel, turning her body to Rachel 'Rachel side to free your arm that was being pressed down by Rachel.

After that, you only need to gently pull out the remaining palm part to perfectly separate them, and each can sleep on its own.

Of course, to deceive Rachel, it would be best to hug Rachel again after waking up, creating the sweet illusion that you fell asleep in each other's arms all night.

Even an honest man like Ross, who had only ever had one lesbian wife before (and was considered honest back then), was forced to create this method, which shows how difficult it is for men.

Several of Adam past life were victims of this kind of thing.

My arms simply can't handle the kind of tenderness my girlfriend wants.

One heartfelt complaint after another: TV dramas are all lies!

Damn it, I hug myself to sleep every night!

Isn't it better to sleep alone afterwards?

Give me some space, stay away from me, okay?

However, in this life, Adam, who possesses a system and whose attributes have been greatly enhanced, can easily enjoy this sweetness and tenderness.

Emmm.

I really enjoyed it.

"Caroline is truly amazing."

Max held Adam's body, closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, and murmured.

"How so?"

Adam said casually.

"I went back to her mansion with her a few days ago to help her get some things, didn't I?"

Max opened her eyes, tilted her head back, and looked at Adam: "Her mansion is a real mansion; her closet is bigger than my apartment..."

"What's the point of that?"

Adam joked, "Even if her closet were twice as big, it still wouldn't be enough for you."

"Stop leading me astray."

MAX chuckled, nudged Adam, and said seriously, "Let's talk business, no flirting!"

"All right."

Adam shrugged and readily agreed.

"She also has a special rotating shoe drying rack, which she calls the Shoe Ferris Wheel!"

MAX exclaimed, "With the press of a remote, her shoe cabinet starts to rotate, and rows and rows of all kinds of shoes keep appearing. It's simply amazing. I heard that she designed it herself."

"The structure is very simple."

Adam understood immediately and laughed, "If you want it, you can have it anytime."

"And that bathtub."

MAX's expression was one of fascination. "There are even massage buttons inside..."

"This is even simpler."

Adam smiled.

"Although Caroline and I live in almost completely different worlds, we can still find some similarities."

MAX murmured, "I grew up without a father, and she grew up without a mother. We share the same favorite songs and even danced together in her mansion. In the end, we triggered the alarm and everyone ran out wearing a bunch of clothes."

"Don't do that again next time."

Adam put down his book, looked at her, and reminded her, "You're no longer that penniless, bankrupt girl. Helping Caroline in any way you can is fine, but it's best not to do anything illegal."

"I see."

Max and Adam exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

In the past, she wouldn't have cared about these things.

But now, even if she doesn't care, Adam will always step in if something goes wrong.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Adam.

"That's right."

Adam patted Max's head. "Actually, Caroline isn't as pitiful as you think. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."

"What's the meaning?"

MAX asked curiously, "You mean Caroline actually has money?"

"I'm not sure about that."

Adam smiled meaningfully, "But even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone Martin Channing, who has almost deceived all of New York! He must have a lot of hidden assets that have not been seized."

However, these things won't help Caroline for the time being.

Because many people are keeping a close eye on Channing family's financial situation.

If Caroline produces any income that is not earned through her own labor, it will be immediately confiscated and used to pay off her debts.

Therefore, Caroline will struggle for at least several years and will be a true bankrupt girl.

But even so, her bankruptcy is completely different from the bankruptcy you experienced before.

In the most critical moment, I believe she can come up with something to tide her over; she's not as pitiful as you imagine.

If he remembers correctly.

Caroline still has a bag of diamonds on hand.

A few days ago, they climbed over the wall into the mansion. Besides taking the clothes, they probably also took these unregistered 'diamond fragments'.

I used to look down on them, thinking they were just small diamonds for accessories. So a whole bag of them must be quite valuable.

This is just a diamond.

Whether there are other secretly treasured valuable items, nobody knows.

But Adam felt there must be one.

"Perhaps."

MAX shook his head and said, "But I simply can't imagine what it would be like for someone who has been a princess for half her life to suddenly fall into this kind of life. Such a drop in status is unimaginable."

If it were me, or anyone else, I probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

But Caroline not only accepted it quickly, but also remained cheerful and showed no resentment whatsoever.

This kind of mentality is truly invaluable.
