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 didn’t have much to say; she knew that staying alert from beginning to end was the only way to avoid losing her rationality.
Acting was just acting; the fake could never become real. She had always been able to distinguish between the two clearly.
He wants me to coax him? Impossible.
Moreover, Gwendolyn couldn’t come up with any comforting words to say.
She turned around to leave decisively. Her tone regained its coldness as she urged, “Hurry up and get to work. I’m going to sleep.”
Just as she took a step forward, Maverick gripped her wrist from behind.
With a weary expression on her face, she said, “Let go. I’m tired.” She just wanted to sleep.
However, Maverick did not budge, his reddened eyes gazing at her with immense grievance.
“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.
Gwendolyn’s back stiffened as she stood still.
