“You can tell me that lie, I dare you to go say it to Jeslyn!!” Rex got up and ran after Maverick while saying that. This was the first time his ‘perfect‘ older brother had ever made a terrible mistake and he wouldn’t just sit back and allow him to escape taunting.

A while later, Maverick could be seen sitting on a sofa, staring at Vera with deadly eyes.

Vera couldn’t stay still with the sharp gazes of both brothers on her, so she knelt. “I swear, Mav, I’m innocent. I did nothing wrong. I tried to push you away but you were stronger than I am. You-”

“Who told her?”

Vera raised her gaze to look at Maverick before she shifted it to Rex who was making angry faces at

her.

“I- I didn’t mean for her to know. She called me and you… you happened to say some incoherent words that time, so, so, she caught on and I couldn’t deny it. I’m sorry. I don’t know how to lie. Please forgive me.”

Rex rolled his eyes. As for Maverick, his eyes were still on her without moving.

“What was her reaction?”

“She didn’t sound angry. She was happy for us both and said it had always been her wish for me to regain my memory and give Valen a happy home.”

“Can you do that? What makes you think you can be Valen’s mother? Just because you pushed him out of your stomach, you think you have the qualifications to be his mother?!” Rex was so angry right now that he just wanted to start chopping this woman into pieces.

What does she mean by, ‘I tried to push you away?‘ What woman would push Maverick away if he came unto her? Would a woman like Vera who is desperate to gain her memories back, push him away? Would Vera who was already calling that lousy woman, ‘mother‘, push Maverick away? All her tales are full of loopholes and he wondered why Maverick was still entertaining her.

“Is that all?”

she wouldn’t listen. She’s very stubborn. But you don’t need to worry, I intend to leave immediately after Valen wakes up. I promise I won’t come in between you two. She showed that she loved my son and I’m very happy and content with a kind woman like Jeslyn being my
