Chapter 630 A Surprise for Her

Unable to bear the pummeling any longer, the man suspected that Laura would beat him to death if he didn't say something to show who he was.

He yelled, "S-Stop! Honey, it's me!"

Laura was fuming. Yet, she froze when she heard the familiar voice.

After she came to her senses, the light in the room was soon switched on.

With a click, the room was brightly lit, and the mysterious man who assaulted her was exposed.

Laura widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Max? It's you?"

Max gazed at her with an innocent look on his face while rubbing his arm.

"Of course it's me. Who else could it be?"

Laura paused. Thinking of what just happened, she suddenly found it both irritating and amusing.

Feeling rather speechless, she threw him a hard look and scolded, "Why did you do that? I was so scared! Even if I was not that scared, I might fight back ruthlessly and hurt you!"

While speaking, she walked up to Max and gently caressed his arm.

Seeing her feeling sorry for him, Max instantly became jubilant.

Beaming, he said, "I came here to give you a pleasant surprise."

Laura glowered at him again.

"A pleasant surprise?

It's more like a terrible shock!

No wonder the bodyguards wouldn't come in to check on me even though there was such a racket.

Turned out they already knew the man in my room was Max!

I thought they didn't know. How naive I was!" she thought in annoyance.

Well, if the bodyguards failed to notice there was an intruder in Laura's room, it would prove that they were subpar for the job.

Max held Laura's hand as she was rubbing his arm. Smiling, he said, "it's my bad. Sorry. I just wanted to tease you a bit when you came back. Now, it has been proved that I was being childish. If I didn't turn or the light in time, I might really die today."

Laura snorted coldly as she saw his mischievous grin,

"You brought this on yourself. You'd deserve it!"

Max froze, not daring to refute.

He hastened to add, "Yes. That was a shock. But I have another surprise for you."

Startled, Laura asked subconsciously, "What surprise?"

Max grinned and said, "How could it be a surprise if you knew what it is. Close your eyes."

Laura was clueless about what Max was playing at. Resigned, she meekly closed her eyes.

But at the same time, she warned him, "I'm telling you, this time it's gotta be a real surprise, or you will pay for what you've done."

Max's cheerful voice rang in her ear, "Certainly."

He then held her hand and said, "Come with me."

With her eyes closed, Laura could only let Max lead her to head forward.

She had no idea what surprise he had prepared for her. She gave him complete trust and let him steer her anywhere.

But just after they took a few paces, Max stopped her.

She then heard the sound of the drapes being drawn.

She asked, "Can I look now?"

Max said, "Not yet. Just a moment."

Then, he let go of her hand.

Laura didn't know what he went away for. She felt that she stood there with her eyes shut for about a minute or two before Max came back.

He held her hand again and said, "Come on, take another step forward."

Laura did what he said.

Then, she felt a cool breeze.

"Why did you bring me to the balcony?"

Max didn't answer. Instead, he walked to stand behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

His warm breathing tickled her ear. His soft voice said, "Laura, open your eyes on the count of three, OK?"

Laura didn't want to ruin the surprise Max had put so much thought into. So she nodded obediently.

Then, Max's gentle voice whispered, "One, two, three... Look!"

He suddenly lifted his hands, and Laura opened her eyes.

She was stupefied at first. But then, her eyes brimmed with surprise and joy.

Good heavens!

How spectacular this was!

Groups of drones were twinkling like stars in the dark sky.

Controlled by men, they paused in different formations as if they were little elves flying in the sky.

Laura recognized the words the drones formed.

"Laura, I love you!

"I'll be with you forever!"

Laura covered her mouth. She felt as if something had bumped into the tenderest part of her heart. A deeply moved expression appeared on her face. Just then, Max's voice rang in her ear.

"You like it?"

Laura nodded vigorously.

Max leaned in from behind and gently scooped her into his arms.

Gazing at the glimmering words formed by the drones in the sky, he muttered, "I love you. You're my one and only. I'll keep loving you until death does us apart." Laura's emotion surged. Tears fell off.

Max tenderly wiped her tears off. Then, he cupped his hands around her face and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

Laura was deeply moved, but she also found it funny.

"You, you came here all the way to show me this?"

Max arched his brow.

"You don't like my surprise?"

"I love it!"

How could she not love it?

This was a novel way of displaying affection. And Max had just said such romantic things to her.

Max must be really eager to free her from worries, or he wouldn't have come up with such a brilliant idea to express his love for her.

Laura was immersed in joy. But soon, she began to worry again.

Looking at the gleaming words in the sky, she said, "Would this expose our relationship?"

Max smiled and assured her, "You worry too much. There are countless girls named Laura in the world. I didn't write your full name in the sky. How could others know this is for you?" Laura contemplated for moments and thought that it made sense.

Looking at the glinting words of affection, she felt her heart had been honey-coated.

She snuggled up to Max and said softly, "Max, thank you."

She then continued inwardly, "Thank you for loving me like this.

Thank you for giving me the courage of accepting a man's love again.

Thank you for your forgiveness as well as your childishness.

I thought my life would be cold and dull forever. But you made me feel sweet and warm again."

Max placed a hand around her shoulder and took her into his arms.

The night was quiet and sweet. The two didn't speak again, for they were enjoying some rare romantic time they had.

At this moment, Laura suddenly let out of cry of shock.

She left Max's embrace and turned to look at him, asking, "Nobody saw you on your way here today, right?"

A deep frown appeared on his face.

He seemed a little upset.

When he was about to answer that question, his voice was full of grievances.
