He changed up the wet clothes and went into the bathroom to have a cold evening bath.

As he stood there in the shower, he kept wondering about how to present the chocolate to Amelia in her room.

"Chocolate will not feel like a present to girl of her status so he would not try to make it look like one" He thought aloud to himself.

After some minutes, he was done dressing up and was ready to go see his bride.

This was just the second day of his stay with the Wilson's and Mr Wilson already seem furious when he learnt that no progress has been made.

It was already late into the night and as she walked into Amelia's room, she began to tip on her toe in the darkness not wanting to make a sound and wake Amelia up.

She asked rhetorically while dropping the food on the stool beside Maxwell's bed.Hearing her mention the maids immediately cleared up his head and he remembered that it was the missing thing in the house the whole time."

"And...I've decided to play along with you and Riya's plan" She added and Maxwell's eyes widened in shock. "You're only permitted to sleep in my room at night, that's simply to make my father think that we're working on his plans" She added and at that moment Maxwell felt like embracing her. "Mind you, I'm just doing this for the sake of your sick father and for Riya.... I do not know why she has so much interest in helping you" She said and stood up from the bed.
