The next morning, Ava was already in the kitchen before most of the residents of the Langham residence had even begun their activities. Her hair was tied back simply, and she was wearing comfortable house clothes while both hands were busy preparing the ingredients for breakfast.

She still remembered what Maverick had said the night before. The man had not mentioned any specific dishes, but Ava immediately set aside anything containing nuts. Maverick was allergic to them, and she would

    Meanwhile, Jackson was still in his home office. Eleanor and Megan were there, having a brief discussion before Jackson left for the office. Eleanor had been trying to convince her son not to think about Ava anymore.She had even prepared the names of several women she wanted to introduce to Jackson.“Why don’t you meet one of them?” Eleanor said, handing him several business cards. “You don’t need to keep thinking about Ava. She’s already married to Maverick.”Jackson looked displeased as he stared at the profiles, complete with photographs of the beautiful women. “I don’t need these, Mom.”“You need someone who can help you forget everything.”“I said no.”Jackson’s voice rose. He pushed all the documents back toward Eleanor. His mind had been in enough turmoil since yesterday, and now his mother was only making things worse by insisting that he meet

    “Give me the files I need to review today, Leo,” Maverick said after he was satisfied with what he had read about Ava. He moved the stack of files to one side of the desk. Even so, his thoughts still occasionally drifted back to the woman.“Of course, Mr. Maverick. I’ll prepare them.”Leo then left Maverick’s office. It did not take long for another stack of files to fill Maverick’s desk. Both Leo and Maverick returned to their usual routines, immersing themselves in their work.Although, at times ... the image of Ava smiling at his praise that morning kept appearing in Maverick’s mind. Perhaps that was also why Maverick picked up his phone and dialed Leo’s number.“Leo.”“Yes, sir?” Leo responded immediately. Although they were in separate rooms, Leo was always quick to respond whenever Maverick gave him an order.“Send a bouquet of flowers to the ArkenStone Museum.”Leo frowned. “A bouquet ... of flowers? For whom, sir?”“Ava.”There was a pause of several seconds on the other end o

    After breakfast, which had been interrupted by a little chaos, they were finally able to enjoy their meal in peace. Maverick then drove Ava to the museum. Although Ava had initially refused, Maverick always managed to get her back into the passenger seat.The drive to the museum seemed likely to become a new routine for Ava. Perhaps for Maverick as well.Throughout the journey, the two barely spoke. Maverick focused on the road ahead, while Ava glanced at the man beside her several times before turning her gaze back out the window.The atmosphere inside the car did not actually feel awkward. At least, Ava no longer felt the same awkwardness she had experienced during the first few days of their marriage. Now, sitting in silence with Maverick actually felt rather comfortable.However, there was one thing she had wanted to say for a while.“Thank you,” Ava finally said.Maverick did not answer immediately. His gaze remained fixed o

    Before Eleanor could respond to Ava, footsteps sounded from the dining room entrance. Maverick appeared, already dressed neatly for work. His gaze swept across the dining table before settling on Ava, Eleanor, and Megan, who were still there.Megan immediately seized the opportunity.“Uncle,” she called in a complaining tone. “Your wife is being very rude. She’s asking Mommy to leave just because Mommy was giving her some advice.”Ava said nothing. She simply remained where she was, waiting to see how Maverick would react to everything that had just happened.Feeling that the situation was in her favor, Megan quickly continued, “Could you teach Ava a little about proper boundaries, Uncle? Mommy only wanted to remind her not to go too far.”Maverick did not answer.Instead, the man walked toward his chair as though he had not heard Megan’s complaints. He pulled out the chair and sat down calmly.“Where’s my coffee, Ava?” he asked, immediately giving his full attention to his wife.Ava

    The next morning, Ava was already in the kitchen before most of the residents of the Langham residence had even begun their activities. Her hair was tied back simply, and she was wearing comfortable house clothes while both hands were busy preparing the ingredients for breakfast.She still remembered what Maverick had said the night before. The man had not mentioned any specific dishes, but Ava immediately set aside anything containing nuts. Maverick was allergic to them, and she would keep remembering that. This morning, Ava decided to make something she considered simple enough while still suited to most people’s tastes.However, just as she was about to take some ingredients from the storage cabinet, Clara hurried over to her in a panic. “Mrs. Ava, didn’t I already tell you? You don’t need to come into the kitchen.”Ava turned toward her. “Why?”“Because this is our job. You are the lady of the house. You

    “Thank you for dinner, Ava,” Maverick said, bringing tonight’s conversation to an end.Without realizing it, Ava smiled and nodded. “Then ... I’ll clean everythi—”“Don’t,” Maverick stopped her. “I’ll do it.”“But, Mr.—”“Sit down. You must be tired.” Without any awkwardness, Maverick gathered the dirty plates and his glass, tidying the dining table as though he were already accustomed to doing it.Once they felt it was enough, they returned to their respective rooms. Ava followed Maverick upstairs, where his room was located. Her steps were slightly slower than usual. Her face was still lowered, leaving behind a sense of awkwardness and embarrassment that had not completely disappeared.However, at least this time, there was one burden that felt much lighter on her shoulders. Especially after she had told Maverick a little about her f

    Clara led Ava down the long corridor on the second floor. As they walked, the middle-aged woman continued explaining various things, making Ava increasingly aware that this house was run with remarkable precision and order.“Do you have any favorite foods, Mrs. Langham?” Clara asked warmly. “Or per

    What Ava said immediately drew the attention of nearly every guest in attendance. At that point, almost every pair of eyes in the ballroom was fixed on them, listening carefully to the argument unfolding, especially after Jackson arrived.Unlike Maverick, who had remained silent the entire time, se

    Jackson’s rough pull made Ava stumble slightly forward. The bouquet in her hands nearly slipped from her grasp if she hadn’t caught it quickly at the last second.The entire ballroom grew even louder with panicked whispers and restless murmurs. Just as Ava was about to protest, Maverick’s voice cut

    “Take your medicine first, Megan.”Jackson pushed a glass of warm water toward the woman sitting across from him, exhaustion beginning to show clearly on his face. Ever since they left the hospital after Megan’s medical checkup, she had been continuously complaining about the burning pain in her st
