“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

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

“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

That morning, Ava was once again immersed in her work at the ArkenStone Museum.In one month, the museum would hold a major art exhibition. As a result, Ava had been busy since morning arranging the event schedule, reviewing the list of artworks to be exhibited, ensuring each painting was properly placed, and discussing several technical details with her team.“For the opening, let’s move this section slightly to the right. Once the curator’s speech is over, we can proceed to the main event,” Ava said, pointing to a section of the schedule she was reviewing.Several people around her nodded and returned to work. Ava didn’t even notice when a museum staff member approached her carrying something.“Miss Ava.”Ava looked up. “Yes?”The staff member smiled and handed her a fairly large bouquet of flowers. “These are for you.”Ava frowned. “For me?”&ldquo

Jackson snatched his phone away in a hurry. The broken glass on the screen accidentally scratched Megan's hand.“Ouch!”Megan immediately pulled her hand away. A small cut was visible on her palm, and her eyes welled up with tears.Jackson glanced at her, but unlike usual, he didn't immediately approach her.“Leo,” Jackson called to his assistant, who happened to be not far from the office. “Please take care of Megan's hand. It looks like she's injured.”Megan stared at Jackson in disbelief.Usually, even the slightest injury was enough to make Jackson panic. He would examine it himself, ask if Megan was in pain, and then make sure the wound was properly treated.But not this time. Jackson didn't even get up from his chair.Leo immediately approached Megan. “Miss Megan, let me treat your wound.”Megan kept looking at Jackson. A small part of her hoped he would change his mi
