Chapter 202 Conversation Killer It was Maverick’s voice.

Although Gwendolyn first heaved a sigh of relief, it was soon replaced by anger.

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” The man’s tone was tinged with sleepiness and fatigue as he replied, “I was asleep.

It’s already so late.

Why haven’t you turned in? Did something happen?” “Nothing.

I couldn’t sleep.

” “Do you want me to keep you company?” “Mm,” Gwendolyn responded softly.

When she recalled the dream she had earlier, she reprimanded him sternly, “I’m reminding you again.

You’re not allowed to go anywhere for two days.

Also, keep your phone ringer volume at the highest! You must answer my calls no matter what!” On the other end of the line, Maverick was silent for a moment before replying faintly, “Okay.

Are you feeling sleepy now?” “I’m not tired.

” “Shall I tell you a story?” “Don’t.

” “Then, are you hungry? You can give me your address, and I’ll get something delivered to you.

” “I’m not hungry.

” Maverick was speechless.

She’s truly a conversation killer.

How am I supposed to keep the flow going? Unable to sleep, Gwendolyn settled for Maverick telling her a story in the end.

Maverick regaled her with the jokes he had found online.

He was not good at telling jokes, and there were a lot of awkward silences.

Hypnotized by his voice, Gwendolyn gradually drifted off to sleep before she knew it.

The next day, Gwendolyn proceeded to carry out her affairs with the order they had settled upon.

Hector stayed at Hecalion Estate for the entire day and never left.

When Gwendolyn saw that it was getting late, she began to feel impatient and sent Treyton to lure him out.

After about half an hour, Hector came out with Treyton.
