Chapter 5 Maverick seemed genuinely worried and afraid. He did love Raelynn. Sadly, he also loved someone else. "You came back fast," Raelynn said flintily. Maverick's expression changed a bit. He was nervous. "Hon, you haven't eaten anything today, have you? I'm taking you to the revolving restaurant." He attempted to change the subject, straightening the stray hair on her forehead gently. "I'm not going." She shook her head. Maverick was flustered. "Well, have a rest. I'll cook for you downstairs." "Hmm." Raelynn nodded coolly and turned her back to him. Thinking she was still vexed, he took a deep breath and walked out of the room. Over ten minutes later, a commotion came from downstairs. When Raelynn came downstairs, she saw that the hall was packed with Maverick's friends. They were helping hang new photos on the walls. Seeing Raelynn, they all-put in a good word for Maverick. "Raelynn, you almost terrified Maverick to death. I've never seen him so nervous before." "Next time you get mad, tell us. We'll teach him a lesson for you. Don't throw away the photos or turn off your phone again. It'll kill Maverick." "If it had taken longer to find you, Maverick would've lost his mind." "Yes. He fainted when he saw the wall empty. He even wanted to go through the trash can." They prattled on. "Shut up!" Maverick walked out of the kitchen with an apron, apparently irritated. "It was my fault. I broke my wife's heart. I deserve punishment." "Mav, you dote on your wife. For her, you even threw away your dignity. Raelynn, you're a lucky woman." Ophelia stepped forward from the crowd. Envy was written all over her face. Maverick remained composed. With a warm smile, he returned, "She's my wife. Certainly, I dote on her." Raelynn felt chilly. What a hypocrite. She wouldn't lay bare his lies, though. She announced indifferently, "Not so fast. I'm gonna change the color of the wall." 0.0 % 10:33 65 Maverick walked to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "All right. No photos. Listen to "Maverick is henpecked," someone quipped. Maverick didn't take it seriously. After sitting Raclynn down on the couch, he went back to the kitchen. Every course was Raelynn's favorite. However, to her, everything was tasteless. Maverick picked food for her with one hand. Meanwhile, his fingers and Ophelia's interlocked u Raelynn found it extremely boring. She couldn't wait to leave this place and Maverick. After the meal, before Raelynn could say no, Maverick bent over to help her put on socks and sl her in his arms and left the room. His friends hooted. Ophelia also laughed. However, Raelynn glimpsed the resentment and jealousy flitting across he Maverick had also arranged a water show for Raclynn. There was also her favorite band. In the middle of the show, Maverick said he needed to go to the bathroom and left. Raelynn followed. |
