Argoing to this extent was just a matter of differing opinions. Aurora didn’t know how to explain herself. After a long pause, the frally spoke, but Eush quickly interrupted her.
“You don’t need to explain. I just want you to understand one thing if you can’t even calm your husband down and make him upset because of your actions, then you’re not worthy of being our daughter–in–law, Just leave. Don’t waste anyone’s time Ruth made it clear, then turned back to watch the movie without another word
Aurora was confused, thinking to herself. Why should I be responsible for Maverick moods and emotions It’s normal for us to have disagreements, but why does it feel like I’m has subordinate? Will he expect to have multiple wives in the future?
The movie was in a critical scene, but neither Ruth nor Maverick was able to watch it. Ruth glanced at Aurora, who was still standing there, and sighed, “I didn’t come here just to check up on you two. You know Tina tried to kill herself, right?”
She went on. “She refuses in accept treatment, brooding over what happened before. She says that unless you forgive her, she won’t go through with the treatment.
She referred to the incident when Maverick brought Aurora home yesterday, and they found Tina in his room, undressing to seduce him, Aurora felt her world was shattered. Tina tried to seduce her husband, then threatened suicide, and now had the nerve to say she wouldn’t get inraiment unless Aurora forgave her

Aurora felt completely overwhelmed. Tina had attempted to commit suicide, but she had somehow turned herself into

Now that they were married, having children seemed like the natural next step, something no one could really argue against Aurora felt uneasy and lowered her head without responding
Ruth did not mind that she did not get a response. She stood up and said, “Alright, that’s all I have to say. I’ll leave the rest to you
She straightened her clothes and turned to leave. Maverick and Aurora both stood up to see her off, sending her to the door. Only then did Kuth speak: “You two can go back now. I came here today for this matter. It’s a good opportunity for you to think about what to do tonight. Tina must
Her last words implied that Aurora had to visit the hospital and she was somehow falling short compared to Tina.
Ruth and Maverick both glanced at the white Auds outside for a second, but neither of them asked anything. Ruth marned back and gave Aurora a thoughtful look before telling the driver to take her home.
After she left, Maverick refused to go inside. He stared at the Audi and asked, “Where did this car come from!“
He couldn’t shake the feeling that the car looked somewhat familiar,
Aurora smirked, recalling the thrill of taking the car. She went on to explain everything, expecting Maverick to praise her. However, walked inside, coldly ondering, “Get rid of that car. I can’t stand having trash like that in the house.
The butler nodded and snatched away the car keys that Aurora had just set down, followed by the sound of the engine starting.
Aurora blinked, wondering if he was going to destroy the car outside.
he simply
But by the time she glanced back, Maverick had already walked upstairs. Aurora hesitated between the car and Maverick, but in the end, she chose to follow Maverick.
“Maverick, please don’t be angry. Let me explain.”
Maverick didn’t stop her from explaining. He simply went into the study and sat down to wait.
Aurora entered the room behind him, thought for a moment, and then closed the door. “Maverick, please let me explain first.”
There was nothing much to explain about the car. All she could say was that she was going to the company to work
No matter what she said, Maverick remained unmoved, sitting in place, staring at her without blinking. She became frustrated and snapped. “At

she had been talking for ages, her mouth dry from all the explaining yet he sat there, not even saying a word. “If you want to see the outside world. you can do the same at the Parker Group: Dean give you whatever you want
The Parker family had everything the Sage family did. The only thing Maverick could think of was Scott. He believed she wanted to return to Sage Group just to see her old lover.
At the thought of Scott, Maverick felt a sharp ache in his heart. How am I inferior to Scott that she could not forget him?”

Though she could hire private investigators, Aurora wanted to handle this herself. The satisfaction of uncovering the truth bit by bit was something she couldn’t pass up
Maverick remained silent, his cold gaze unchanging.
Aurora moved closer, wrapping her arms around his. “Don’t be angry. I didn’t want to bring it up since it’s not exactly a pleasant topic. After all, Naomi still my cousin”
She tugged at his arm. finally drawing his eyes to meet hers.
Their gazes locked, yet his face stayed expressionless,
The face she had thought of day and night was right in front of her, so she boldly leaned in and kissed him.
“Maverick, let me go to the Sage Group! I’m part of the Sage family, and I can’t just watch my family’s legacy fall into someone else’s hands”
She expected him to respond to her kiss, but instead, he turned his face away, still cold.

He brushed her lips with his thumb, a flash of emotion in his eyes gone before she could read it. Her heart skipped, and she laughed awkwardly. “Of course not! Going back to the Sage family has nothing to do with that.”
Mavericks gaze grew darker, his voice edged with danger. “Really?”
He leaned in closer to her lips, and Aurora instinctively started to pull away. She’d tried to tempt him, yet now she was the one backing down.
