Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 163 Better To Rise As A Queen Than Be A Caged Pet Maverick clutched his chest tightly, feeling uncomfortable because of the tightness in his chest.

Nico’s words really hurt his heart! “You’ve been getting more and more unruly lately, acting on your own without my orders, and it sounds like you have a favorable opinion of Charles?” His whole body exuded a strong hostile aura as he coldly pushed Nico away and weakly pulled himself forward.

Nico’s face turned pale with fear, and he remorsefully slapped his own mouth twice for not being able to express himself well.

It was all because he had never been in a relationship before and didn’t know how to comfort people.

He hurriedly trotted forward, continuing to hold Maverick steady while explaining himself, “Boss, it’s a misunderstanding! I came here with William because I was worried about you.

Besides, Mr. Newton— No! I mean Charles! How could I possibly think highly of him? Of course, I have higher hopes for you, Boss.

” He leaned in close to Maverick’s ear and whispered, “Although Ms. Shalders was always picking on you, as the saying goes, ‘sometimes harsh words or deeds can demonstrate one’s love.

’ After all, she treats you differently than the others.

Who knows, maybe one day you’ll win her over?” At last, he finally said something pleasant to the ear.

Maverick felt much more at ease.

Nico chuckled obsequiously, then caught a glimpse of the deep red pinch mark on Maverick’s left cheek and winced slightly.

“However, Ms. Shalders… she really didn’t hold back with her pinch.

” Maverick rubbed his face subconsciously, still feeling a lingering pain.

Again, he thought about Gwendolyn and Charles having a meal together and couldn’t help but wonder what they would talk about.

He remained displeased about this matter, and his expression quickly turned somber.

“Send two people to follow them and find out what they’re talking about.

” Nico’s face wore a horrified look, and he was on the verge of tears.

“Boss, please spare me! No matter what, Charles is still the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

His subordinates around him have top-notch techniques in preventing eavesdropping and stalking.

” Maverick showed no expression.

At that, Nico pouted his lips and continued to persuade Maverick, “If we get caught, Ms. Shalders will find out, and it won’t be easy for us to explain.

Aren’t you afraid she’ll misunderstand you again? Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to the villa and wait for her quietly?” He let out a quiet sigh.

My boss is too stubborn.

He acts like a complete fool, especially when it comes to his love life.

What should I do? After pondering for a moment, Maverick eventually compromised and asked, “Among the boys, is there anyone with a rich relationship experience?” Nico contemplated earnestly for a while.

“It seems that only Swain has been in a relationship before.
