Wooing My Ex-Wife

Maverick’s voice had gone hoarse, and he did not feel like talking.

He turned over and continued to sleep.

When he rushed over last night, he happened to hear Gwendolyn’s shout and watched helplessly as she jumped into the river.

That feeling of his heart pounding away uncontrollably was so unbearably suffocating.

Just thinking about it made his heart ache.

He would never let this happen again.

Nico noticed he was being ignored and knew he simply could not get through to Maverick.

After so many years of working for Maverick, this was the first time Nico had seen him going all out for someone.

Boss, please take a good rest.

If you need anything, just call me.

Don’t force yourself.

Nico sighed helplessly, poured Maverick a cup of warm water, and placed it on the bedside table.

Then, he turned around, left the room, and gently closed the door behind him.

Maverick was still feverish, and his mind was already groggy.

He quickly fell back asleep.

The villa was silent and pitch-black in the dead of night.

Nico made his way down to the basement, his face gloomy.

Neville and a few other subordinates were guarding the basement door.

William and Quinton had been awake for quite some time.

They were extremely furious about being locked up and kept banging on the door while shouting.

Neville saw Nico approaching and walked up.

“How’s it going? Is the boss feeling better now?” Nico nodded.

Neville breathed a sigh of relief.

He gritted his teeth and continued, “Can we just get rid of these two? They’ve been cursing non-stop since they woke up.

I don’t think I can hold it in any longer!” Nico’s expression was grim, too.

Although he could do nothing to Treyton, at least he could vent his anger on the two lackeys of the Harris family.

After all, it did not matter as long as their lives were spared.
