Max smiled and got out of the car, opening the door for Mrs. Robin and Maria. "Let's go in, shall we?
As they entered the restaurant, Julia couldn't help but notice the luxurious atmosphere and the impeccable service. Max was right; this was a special occasion, and she shouldn't worry about the expenses.
Over lunch, Max charmed Mrs. Robin with his warm smile and engaging conversation. Julia watched, amazed, as her mother laughed and joked with Max, clearly won over by his charm.
As they finished their meal, Max turned to them. "I have an idea. Why don't we take your mother to see a show tonight? I heard there's a great musical playing on Broadway."
Mrs. Robin's eyes lit up. "Oh, that sounds wonderful! I love musicals!"
Julia smiled, feeling grateful to Max for making her Mother's Day. "That sounds perfect. Thank you."
As they walked out of the restaurant, Max hailed a taxi and helped Mrs. Robin and Maria inside. "I'll meet you at the theater," he said to Julia, "I have to make a quick phone call."
Julia nodded, and they got into the taxi, feeling a sense of relief. Her mother was safe, and Max was taking good care of them.
As they drove to the theater, Mrs. Robin chatted excitedly about the musical. "I've heard great things about this show, Julia. I'm so glad we're going!"
Julia smiled, feeling happy to see her mother so carefree.
When they arrived at the theater, Max was waiting for them, looking handsome in his suit and tie. "Shall we go in?" he asked, offering his arm to Mrs. Robin.
As they took their seats and the curtain rose, Julia felt a sense of gratitude towards Max. He had gone out of his way to make this a special day for her mother, and she appreciated it.
As the musical began, Julia found herself getting lost in the story and the music. She glanced over at Max, who was watching the show with a smile on his face.
During intermission, Mrs. Robin turned to them, her eyes shining with happiness. "This is the best day I've had in a long time. Thank you both so much!"
Julia smiled, feeling a sense of joy and contentment. This was what family was all about.
As the show ended, and they came out of the theater, Julia turned to them. "How about dessert at that new café down the street?"
Mrs. Robin clapped her hands. "Oh, yes! I love their cheesecake!"
Julia laughed, feeling a sense of wonder at how easily Max had become a part of their little family
After spending a lot of time with Max, Mrs. Robin's concerns about how he would treat her daughter melted away as she witnessed his calm and collected demeanor.
Noticing the emotional atmosphere, Max tactfully shifted the focus, saying, "Let's enjoy our dessert, I hope you like it? Julia took a bite and was delighted by the flavors. "Hm... this is delicious! I've never had anything so good, and the taste is unique!"
Mrs. Robin's eyes narrowed, scrutinizing Max as he spoke. "mom, you don't have to worry, I promise to take very good care of Julia." She was shocked, wondering if he had sensed her uneasy thoughts.
"Max, you're already married to my daughter," Mrs. Robin said, her voice laced with emotion. "As a mother, I can only hope for the best for you two. Indeed, you have my blessings. And thank you for taking care of my daughter.
"Mom, I promise to take very good care of my wife," Max replied, his eyes locked on Julia's. "I will work hard to make sure she lives a good life."
Julia's voice was soft, "Mom. I love you. Max's smile was reassuring, and Julia always felt safe with him.
Just then, Max attempted to lighten the mood. Okay guys, "Let's finish up our dessert,
Everyone quietly went back to continue from where they'd stopped. As Julia savored the dessert on her plate, She exclaimed! Yummy, delicious! I've not had anything so good, and the taste is different too."
Max chuckled. "I think I should make more money in the future, and then I can bring you here quite often."
Julia waved her hand dismissively. "That's not necessary, money is not that easy to come by, so once is enough for me."
Max's eyes sparkled with surprise. Then he thought to himself, this woman is always thinking of saving me money.
Julia, you have a very beautiful smile that can captivate anyone."
Just then. Sean, Max's brother, entered the private room. He noticed Max with three others, eating and chatting freely. Sean was curious about the gathering. He knew his brother's personality, he wasn't the friendly type, how come he was acting differently around these women?" What's going on here?" he thought, observing Max's gentle interactions with Julia and her mother.
He approached the table.
Max noticed him and gave a warning smile.
Sean raised an eyebrow but said nothing, taking a seat at the table.
He was curious, wondering what had changed his brother. Max, the infamous "Iced Prince." Immediately, Max's expression turned glacial, Sean just greeted the ladies with a charming smile.
Who is this young man?" Mrs. Robin asked, her eyes sparkling with interest.
Before Sean could respond, Max intervened, his voice firm. "Mom, he's my distant cousin. We haven't seen each other in a while."
Sean's eyes filled with surprise. "Distant cousin?" he was surprised and confused and at the same time. Why was Max introducing him as a distant cousin?
Max said politely, "Sit close to me Sean,"his tone softening slightly.
Sean decided to play along, taking a seat beside his brother. He couldn't help but notice Julia, whose radiant beauty captivated him. "Could she be the reason for this family gathering?" he wondered.
Max's eyes narrowed, his anger barely concealed. Sean sensed it and decided to keep quiet, using eye contact to ask, "What's going on, Max?"
Max's stern look told Sean to drop it. Just then, Julia spoke up, her soft, gentle voice mesmerizing.
