The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 5 Give You an Epic Gift

Striding into the living room on his long legs, Maverick went over to Natasha and helped her up at once.

Then, he turned his eyes to Gwendolyn, his gaze brimming with grimness and disappointment. “I initially thought you’d behave after our divorce, but I never expected you to still resort to such a despicable tactic.

“Don’t blame Gwendolyn, Mave. She only pushed me accidentally because I made her mad. It was my fault, so admonish me instead.”
