As soon as this question was asked, both of them fell silent.
Elizabeth remained silent because she remembered the incident at the pool club when her friends took her phone and sent prank messages to her.
And Max's expression confirmed that he was also thinking about the same thing as Elizabeth.
Both of them had arrived at the same thought.
After a while, Max looked at Elizabeth and said, "Perhaps, the phone isn't really in my possession?"
Elizabeth pursed her lips and didn't reply.
Max seized onto this glimmer of hope and immediately pursued, "If, Elizabeth... I mean, when you messaged me, the phone wasn't in my hands, would you still blame me?"
Upon hearing his words, Elizabeth fell into silence as well.
