A sharp Maverick noticed that Elven was sighing. “Elven, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Elven hesitated a little before saying, “Mr. Wright, please go in by yourself. I won’t go in.”

“All right.”

Without further delay, Maverick went upstairs.

When he opened the door, a strong gust of chilly air rushed toward him from inside the room, piercingly colder than the rain outside.

Maverick instinctively held his breath. He looked up and was met with a pair of cold and unwelcoming eyes.

“Gwendolyn, it’s already eight o’clock in the evening. Aren’t you hungry? Have you been too stressed at work lately? Are you having any troubles?”

His voice had a gentle and comforting tone, sounding rather genuine.

Gwendolyn forced herself to smile as she gestured for him to go over. “Come here. Come closer to me.”

Maverick walked over and stood right in front of her.

Before he could bend down, Gwendolyn grabbed his white shirt and lifted it, exposing the layers of bandages wrapped around his waist.

Maverick was alarmed. “Gwendolyn…”

Gwendolyn ignored him and forcefully tugged at the bandage, ripping it apart.

Other than the long scar on his waist, there were no fresh wounds.

She mocked, “You got injured yesterday, and your wound has already healed today. I didn’t know that you have a natural self-healing ability.”

Her words were full of sarcasm.

Maverick’s heart leaped in his chest.

What kind of lousy idea did that rascal Nico come up with? I already said that I wouldn’t be able to hide this from her for too long…

Gwendolyn once said that she hated most when people lied to her. This time, he had deliberately set out to deceive her and was caught red-handed.

Immediately, he dropped to his knees, kneeling beside Gwendolyn’s feet. Sounding ingratiating and pitiful, he said, “Gwendolyn, it’s my fault. I didn’t mean to lie to you…”

Gwendolyn knew he was putting on an act whenever he spoke in such a tone. However, she never bothered to call him out.

Now when she saw him behaving in this manner, she only felt disgusted. Her fury surged, threatening to engulf her ability to think rationally.

She soon calmed down and asked frostily, “Did you use your waist injury to lie to me so you could get that person out of here?”

Maverick was perplexed.

As expected, she has found out about me sending Sherman away.

“You already know everything…”

Since he had been exposed, Maverick did not want to deny it any further. “I’m sorry, I just think that person is not good enough for you.”

Maverick told her the truth without hesitation.

He admitted that he had been deceiving her all this while.
