The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 171
Gwendolyn had known Maverick for so long. Although he had put on the pitiful act a few times before, this was the first time Gwendolyn had seen him sniffling like an actual child.

She sighed helplessly, her tone softening a bit. “We agreed to put on a show. Did you get emotionally involved?”

There was a touch of imploration in his deep, quivering voice. His Adam’s apple moved gently, and he held her wrist with force.
Gwendolyn’s back stiffened as she stood still.
