It worked!
When John saw the warmth in Max's eyes, he felt that his efforts were paying off.
He exclaimed with joy, "Mr. Hart, please have something to eat."
However, Max's response in the next second was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.
"Did I say I wanted to eat? Didn't I tell you not to do anything unnecessary?"
John was stunned in place.
"Why? I thought..."
The warmth in Max's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he became the cold and unapproachable Max once again.
Max didn't bother to pay attention to John anymore. He thought of the words of the two children wishing him good health, and his heart warmed.
It was strange that he could be comforted by two strangers through the screen.
Max swiped his finger and gave the two children another gift.
