Another woman in the room said something, but her voice was too soft to make out clearly. Megan then let out a quiet laugh.“If anything, I need to be more careful now. I've come so close to becoming part of the Langham family. There's no way I'm going to give up everything I've gained just because Jackson suddenly regrets his choices.”Eleanor's eyes widened.Meanwhile, Jackson's jaw slowly tightened.Not long ago, he had still been trying to find a way to understand Megan's actions. He had even held himself back from confronting her immediately after overhearing her conversation with Amber. But what he was hearing now made his feelings turn much colder.Megan continued, “Do you know how I've managed to hold on until now? Because I've taken advantage of all the privileges the Langham family has given me.”Eleanor held her breath.“Eleanor loves me. She always defends me and treats me as part of the famil

Jackson didn't answer. He simply kept his gaze fixed on her, making Megan begin to feel uncomfortable. Something was different. Something she couldn't understand.“Jackson, I...” The woman tried to sit up a little, but Jackson had already turned away.“Jackson,” Megan called out in panic.He didn't stop. Even when Megan called his name again, Jackson continued walking toward the door. “Jackson, wait. Where are you going?”Jackson stopped right at the doorway but didn't turn around. “I have nothing to say to you.”After that, he opened the hospital room door, but before leaving completely, Jackson looked at his mother for a few moments.Eleanor was already there. Her face showed that she was weighing many things in her mind.“Mom, do you still want to stay here?” Jackson asked flatly.Eleanor turned toward Megan's hospital room door. The shock on her face had yet to com

“Thank you for tonight, Mr. Maverick,” Ava said as soon as she got into the car.“It's no problem.”Ava adjusted her seating position to get comfortable. The journey back to the mansion was fairly quiet. However, unlike their previous ride, Ava seemed much more cheerful this time.A faint smile still lingered on her face, and every now and then, she gazed out the window, unable to hide her feelings. Her meeting with Arthur had truly begun to fill the emptiness inside her that had lingered for years.She hadn't expected her father to welcome her so warmly after what she had done seven years ago. It would be a lie to say Ava didn't regret it, and she was determined to maintain their good relationship from now on.Although Arthur had initially remained cold toward her, perhaps a father's deep love for his child made everything that had happened in the past a part of growing up.“If you want to see your father again, you can visit him anytime,” Maverick suddenly said.Ava turned to him. “

Ava smiled brightly at his response.So, without telling him beforehand, Ava went to Maverick's office, bringing lunch she had specially prepared for the two of them.Along the way, Ava had even imagined Maverick's expression when he saw her suddenly appear at his office. For some reason, simply picturing it was enough to make the corners of her lips lift.For the first time, Ava felt like doing something simple just for someone who had become part of her life over the past few months.When she reached the floor where Maverick's office was located, Ava walked calmly. Several employees who recognized her immediately greeted her, and she returned their greetings with a light smile.She hadn't told anyone that her visit was meant to be a surprise. Ava had even imagined how Maverick would look at her when he suddenly saw her carrying lunch.However, when she was only a few steps away from Maverick's office, her pace gradually slowed. The office

“Of course.” Jackson smiled broadly. “Whatever you want.”Deep down, he had no intention of wasting this opportunity. No matter how hard he had to persuade Ava later, he didn't mind. This time, Jackson was going to fight for her. He would win Ava's heart back and ask her to divorce Maverick.They then sat in a relatively quiet area of the lobby café. Ava chose a seat somewhat removed from the other customers, while Jackson sat across from her.At first, their conversation was entirely about the collaboration between Langham's promotional division and ArkanStone Museum, where Ava worked.Jackson discussed several matters concerning the collaboration with the museum, the collections that would be auctioned, and a few details he felt they needed to discuss in person. Ava responded seriously. After all, this concerned the museum where she worked, and she didn't want to mix her personal affairs with her professional responsibilit

Ava couldn't sleep tonight.She had tried closing her eyes, changing positions several times, and even clearing her mind, but sleep still wouldn't come.Eventually, she sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh, cursing herself. "Oh, come on. I need to sleep. I still have a meeting tomorrow morning.The thought suddenly occurred to her that perhaps a glass of milk might make her a little sleepy. With that in mind, Ava finally got up and left the bedroom.However, the moment she reached the dining area, she stopped in her tracks.Maverick was there.He stood with his back to her, talking on the phone. From the sound of his voice, he seemed completely relaxed, as though the conversation he was having wasn't weighing on him at all.Ava could only stand a few steps away, staring at her husband's back with a feeling she couldn't quite explain. Especially when she heard Maverick say several times, "Why do you keep bringing up the past? It doesn't matter anymore."Ava lowered her he

Maverick nodded. "Yes. I spoke to Samuel. Do you know him?"Ava slowly shook her head."Oh, I thought you might have met him before. He's Samuel Langham."Ava tried to remember who the man was. Had Jackson ever introduced him to her? "I don't think... so."Maverick stepped closer. "He's the son of my eldest brother, Dallas Langham."Ava fell silent for a moment, then nodded as though she understood. "Have you invited him?""Yes.""Why are you only telling me now?"Maverick chuckled softly and reached out to smooth a strand of Ava's hair. "You... don't mind?""I don't mind, Mr. Maverick," Ava finally replied. "If he wants to come, I have no problem with that. It's just that I haven't prepared anything for breakfast tomorrow.""You don't need to go to any trouble." Maverick looked at her intently. "Go to sleep. It's very late."Ava nodded and set down her glass before preparing to return to her room. However, after only a few steps, Maverick's voice sounded again."Ava."Ava stopped and

Rio entered Jackson's office carrying several documents the man had requested earlier. He placed them on the desk before explaining, "I've looked into the painter. Unfortunately, there's very little information we've been able to find."Jackson opened the files and read through several pages. Valerian C.'s name appeared in records of various major auctions and exhibitions, but information about the painter's personal life and whereabouts was extremely limited.Even an address or contact information that could be used to reach the painter was not readily available."All right. You can go home now."Rio looked at him for a moment, a hint of concern on his face. For the past few nights, Jackson had almost always remained in his office until late. Rio didn't even know when the man actually got any sleep."Mr. Jackson, you should get some rest too. These past few nights, you've...""That's enough. You don't need to worry about me."Rio fin

Eleanor let out another long sigh. "She's been around our family for years. I've known her for a long time. It's difficult for me to accept that everything she's done all this time was actually planned."Jackson looked at his mother calmly. "I don't mind if you still can't believe it, Mom."Eleanor lifted her head."But I'm starting to keep my distance from her." Jackson's voice was firm. "And I want you to do the same. At least until we know what she really wants."Eleanor remained silent for a few moments before finally giving a small nod. "I'll be careful."Jackson leaned back in his chair. His expression then changed as the conversation shifted to something that mattered far more to him."I really want Ava back, Mom."Eleanor let out a long sigh."Jackson, I know you regret what happened. I also know you've only just realized how serious your mistakes were." She looked at her son for a long moment. "But there's one thing yo

The following morning, Ava woke up. For a few seconds, she felt so comfortable that she almost closed her eyes again. However, when she tried to change positions, her body brushed against something warm beside her.Ava immediately opened her eyes.She froze when she realized Maverick was sleeping beside her. His face looked so peaceful that, for a moment, Ava almost forgot how she had ended up there. But a few seconds later, she remembered their conversation the night before.And Maverick's request for her to move into his room because he had said he could sleep better with Ava by his side.Ava held her breath for a moment.She then tried to move slowly. She didn't want to wake Maverick, especially since he still seemed to be fast asleep. Carefully, Ava tried to slip her head off Maverick's arm and pull the blanket back slightly so she could get up.However, she had barely moved a few inches when the man's deep voice sounded. "Good morning,
