The Wedding Mission

21. Maxim's Arrival.

Maxim could only stand dumbstruck in the doorway of the house, when he found the figure of the mother was there. The woman even seemed to be chatting with Gwen.

Seeing Maxim's arrival, Calia hastily wiped away the trace of her tears. She blinked one eye at Gwen, as if she was gesturing.

Gwen got up and went to the bathroom.

Maxim frowned as he continued to look at Gwen's departure.

A warm hug was immediately given to Calia for her youngest son. "How are you, honey?" ask Calia.

"I'm good Ma. Why didn't Mama tell me she was coming here?" Without further ado, Maxim asked.

"Why indeed?" Calia suddenly squeaks suspiciously at Maxim. "You want to tell Mama not to say anything to her, right?"

Maxim folded his lips. "It's not so Ma. I just ...."

Calia patted the son's arms full of affection. "Don't hide anything from him. Don't obey your father-in-law's request not to tell him anything. Changing Gwen doesn't have to be based on a lie, son," said the mother.

Maxim breathed. "I didn't lie to Gwen. I just don't want to talk about anything. It's not important to talk about anything about my life." The man tried to give.

"Of course it matters, you idiot! You're her husband. You can't keep together like that."

Hearing the mother's words, Maxim reflexes laugh. However, the look in his eyes turned sad.

Calia of course was astonished to find the strange look of the son. "You have no intention of ...."

Gwen suddenly came out of the bathroom. His face looked much fresher this time. There were no more traces of tears on her beautiful face.

"Not usually go home fast?" ask Gwen kindly.

"Yes. Josh came to the store and told me about someone coming home." Answer Maxim. The interaction between the two looks a little awkward and it turns out that Calia was aware of.

"You guys okay?" ask Calia curious.

"I mean Mama? We are good and healthy. Aren't we?" Maxim turned his eyes to Gwen, asking for her approval.

Gwen quickly nodded her head. The girl then offers Maxim to eat first, to allay the suspicions of her mother-in-law.

...**********...

"Mommy sure you don't want to stay here? Let me drive you home tomorrow." Maxim said that again.

Calia nodded back. At first the woman was planning to stay. However, after finding the atmosphere between the child and his son-in-law still feels very stiff, Calia then undoes the intention.

The woman felt the timing was not right.

"Mama will come back here. You guys take care of yourself, right? Max, you have to take good care of your wife!" calia's message.

Maxim nodded his head. Shortly after, a military Jeep stopped right in front of the house. John got out of the car with one of his subordinates. Maxim asked her to help bring her mother home.

"Ma'am!" John stood up straight and saluted Calia.

Calia hugged John briefly. "Not seen you in a long time, John. How are you?" tanyanya friendly.

John returned Calia's embrace. "I'm good. What about you?"

Calia smile. "As good as you. Sorry to bother you, but I can go home by myself."

Gwen, who was standing next to Maxim, was no longer surprised to find a lieutenant colonel willing to be ordered by civilians like Maxim. The two were best friends when Maxim was active in the military.

Yes, the border area that the capital refers to is this small town. So no wonder Maxim is so respected and feared here. Because in addition to being instrumental in maintaining peace several years ago, the man also helped build various facilities and infrastructure by pouring personal funds to advance the small town.

Not only that, the father-in-law also turned out to be the best retired General.

If only the mother-in-law had not told her, she might never have known the facts.

"Then, we leave now Ma'am?" ask John.

Calia nodded. He hugged Gwen and gave the girl a few short tips. Not to forget, Calia also asked Gwen to contact her if she needed anything.

"No need to worry Ma. Mama be careful on the road," Gwen's message.

Calia then turns to Maxim and does the same.

"We're leaving first" said John.

"Thank you very much, bro" said Maxim.

"No problem."

The two remain there, though the Jeep carrying Calia has disappeared from view. Until finally, it was Gwen who first moved into the house.

Arriving inside, awkwardness was again felt between the two of them. No one spoke, until Maxim finally dared to open his voice first.

"I hope you never think badly of me. I just don't want to talk about anything" Maxim said.

Gwen was silent for a moment. "So even if your mother told you that, you still won't talk about it?" tanyakanya.

"He told me everything, didn't he?" Maxim raised his eyebrows high.

"Not with one thing." Answer Gwen.

"What?" ask the man.

Gwen was silent for a moment, before then walking up to Maxim. Without saying anything, the girl suddenly grabbed Maxim's left hand and grabbed him for a while.

Click on!

Maxim suddenly widened his eyes, when he found the bionic left hand he used was released.

Maxim's left hand is currently a bionic hand. It is a prosthetic device that has robotic capabilities. The owner only needs to move his muscles to give orders. The advanced sensor installed in the fake hand will automatically read the muscle movements of the owner.

Maxim hurriedly hid his left hand. However, Gwen quickly withdrew the hand.

Instead of feeling disgusted, Gwen looked at the hand with a pushy look.

"No need to pity me. You better insult me like you used to. I know how disappointed you are, for marrying a deaf man?" maxim is cold.

Gwen snorts. Instead of returning Maxim's words, Gwen hugged and put her husband's head on her shoulders.

"I do feel sorry for you" he whispered.
