Chapter 20

Often talk to her about homework? Edward did not think that the relationship between the two was very good before, and it was still very good up to that moment. After all, Natasha said before that it was very painful to be betrayed. Looking at Maxine's ingratiating talk about her friendship with Natasha and Natasha's indifferent look, Edward already understood things in his heart. In addition, he saw how the woman changed and he felt a little disgusted. "It seems that you had difficulty in studying, that you needed Natasha to help you with your homework." When Edward spoke, she did not know whether it was intentional or inadvertent. Maxine felt embarrassed. She thought that she could not be taken down, so she smiled at Jake in an attempt that he could save her. But Jake buried his head, she did not know what he was thinking. He just turned a blind eye to what happened. Jake did not actually see what happened at the dinner table, because he was still thinking about other things in his heart. He still had feelings for Natasha. He had been thinking, how did Natasha become his aunt after being separated from him for just a few days? Thinking about the situation, he could not help but look up and secretly look at Natasha sitting next to his uncle. Maxine saw Jake's action and could sense that he would not respond to her. She could not believe what she was seeing. At that point, Edward gave Natasha a chopstick, and her favorite dish. She was so spoiled and Fred was gratified and happy when he looked at them with a smile. Seeing that Edward was so kind to Natasha, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the dinner table was peaceful. "Jake clearly brought me here for dinner as a girlfriend. Why does everyone care about Natasha?" Maxine's resentful eyes faintly looked at Natasha, and suddenly counted on her mind. She kept smiling as much as possible, sat up straight, and tried to maintain the image of a lady in everyone's eyes. Then she whispered to Natasha and said, "Natasha, I really envy you." Natasha looked up at her. She did not know why she said that. Her face was strange and her heart thought coldly. "Was it really enviable to be deceived by your own best friend and steal your boyfriend? " She did not respond and Maxine was slightly embarrassed. Fortunately for her, all the people at the dinner table were attracted by her sentence, and she smiled then the dinner went on. "Natasha is very popular in school. I do not know how many boys are pursuing her. I really envy Natasha. Unlike me, only Jake liked me." "Clearly, it is you who are pursued by many boys." Natasha laughed in her head instead of feeling angry, and at the same time, she was very heartbroken. Her once mostly trusted best friend, she did not think it would be like that, which not only reversed black and white, but also obviously wanted everyone to misunderstand the situation. "No, how can I have many boys pursuing me? You remembered wrong." "But I think Natasha is really powerful, especially excellent, which I did not expect." Maxine added fuel and did not forget to secretly watch Edward's face change. "No, no, no matter how powerful I am, I am not as powerful as you. Anyway, if something is mine, it will be stole by you, right?" Natasha looked at Jake, and looked at Maxine with a smile in her eyes. Maxine suddenly felt guilty, wanting to attack but because she was with Jake's family, she could not attack. She still needed to maintain her lady image, and could only look at Natasha in tears. "Natasha, I am your best friend, how can you say that about me!" "Excuse me, if my words are heavy, I apologize to you, but what you said seems out of place. I really cannot talk about this while eating." Natasha immediately turned against her. As soon as her words came out, the dinner table was quiet immediately. Edward threw down chopsticks with a "pa" sound, and his face was dark and unknown. Fred saw that he was going to leave and quickly retained "Edward, are you full now? Eat some more." "No, I am already full when I see this kind of people." Edward turned a blind eye and left. Seeing that something was wrong with the scene, Maxine immediately realized that she must be in trouble. She quickly shed two lines of tears and wanted to seize Natasha's hand to defend. "Natasha..." "I am full, too. Edward and I will leave first." Natasha then stood up and caught up behind Edward. Fred originally wanted to have a happy meal, but the arrival of Maxine obviously made the dinner table unhappy, so he was not happy. Penny read what she saw and knew that she was brought by Jake, but did not say anything, Maxine also said such words to denigrate Natasha. "Baby, don't bring other people to our house in the future. You see, you are unhappy again." Jake just nodded his head, and the dining table was quiet. Maxine really regretted it. She did not expect Edward's family to say that she was other people.
