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.
Is he genuinely sad?
She sighed helplessly, her tone softening a bit. “We agreed to put on a show. Did you get emotionally involved?”
Maverick remained silent with his eyes lowered. Within those dark pupils, there was a hint of vulnerability.
He was indeed emotionally involved, deeply immersed, and completely captivated.
In the end, he was left battered and bruised by the harsh reality, his heart aching intensely.

“Gwendolyn… Can you occasionally show some concern and consider my feelings too? After all, a wounded heart will eventually ache.”
There was a touch of imploration in his deep, quivering voice. His Adam’s apple moved gently, and he held her wrist with force.
