Gwendolyn was shocked to hear him call her “Gwenny. She wondered why Maverick was behaving
differently today.

Taking advantage of his drunken state, he got up from the ground and rushed over, fiercely grabbing.
Maverick’s collar with one hand while clenching the other into a fist, ready to swing it at Maverick’s
face.
“It was you who hurt her just a couple of days ago! What right do you have to still be hanging around
her?”
Maverick remained still, not offering any explanation. His dark eyes showed no sign of weakness as he
held his gaze firmly.
Sherman was furious. He was about to throw a punch until Gwendolyn shouted, “Quinton! Ryan!”
Quinton and Ryan immediately jumped in through the open window, separating the two people who
were confronting each other.
Sherman didn’t land a hit and was quite frustrated. “Gwendolyn, why won’t you let me teach him a
lesson?”
Gwendolyn gave Quinton and Ryan a meaningful glance. “Mr. Ferguson is drunk. Please take him
home.”“Understood.”
“I’m not drunk, really! Gwendolyn, I’m not drunk…” Sherman muttered under his breath and stumbled
along, supported by two bodyguards on either side of him. His voice gradually faded into the distance.
At last, it was finally quiet. Maverick stopped pretending to have a stomachache, and his face returned
to its usual calm expression.
Gwendolyn glanced at him sarcastically. “Why have you stopped pretending?”
Maverick pursed his lips, not uttering a word as he walked to where she was. He lowered both knees
and knelt before her.
This time, he chose to kneel on his own.
Sherman had got down on one knee to express his love, whereas Maverick had got down on both
knees to seek redemption.
novelbinGwendolyn couldn’t understand his actions. “What are you doing?”
Maverick lifted his head to meet her gaze, and there was a glint of resolution in his eyes. “There’s
something that has been bothering me for years, so can you tell me the truth tonight?”
“Let’s hear it.”
“Did you go to Saffron Street thirteen years ago on the fourteenth of March? Did you save a little boy?”
Gwendolyn was just about to open her mouth to deny it when Maverick continued, “I won’t stop
investigating if you keep brushing me off like before. I won’t rest until I get to the bottom of this!”
Gwendolyn had never paid much attention to that matter. “Does my honesty really matter? Is it truly

“It is.”

As their eyes met, Gwendolyn saw anticipation and carnestness in his dark pupils, as well as the
longing. for her to speak the truth.
“Are you saying that you’ll stop investigating once you get my answer?”
“Yes.”
The man spoke with unwavering conviction.
Fine. Since saving someone was just an accident and a trivial matter for me, it won’t hurt to tell him.
“Yes, I did. I’ve been there. I think I saved a boy from a car accident that day, but I can’t remember
anything else.”
Maverick’s eyes were slightly red when he heard that, and there was a slight tremble in his deep voice
as he said, “This is enough.”
Over the years, he had made an outrageous mistake.
SHe surprisingly discovered that the girl he liked and the one he was grateful for were the same person.
Even though he had her once before, he didn’t cherish her as he should have.
A sharp pain gripped Maverick’s heart.
He took a step toward Gwendolyn, and his eyes were red as he called out to her, “Gwenny, I-”
“Stop!”
Gwendolyn felt a chill down her spine when he started saying that. Every time he spoke softly, she felt
as if there was a hidden agenda. Can’t he just speak like a normal person? And… did he just call me
Gwenny? Might as well call me Lynny at this point!
With a serious expression, Gwendolyn said, “You have two choices now. You either call me Master or
Gwendolyn.”

Maverick’s face turned pale, and he struggled internally for a moment before he answered, “I’ll
Gwendolyn.” After struggling, he continued with a trembling voice, “These days, I’ve finally understood
my own feelings and realized how wrong I was before… Gwendolyn, it turns out that the one I’ve
always liked, loved, and appreciated was you, from the very beginning to the end! It was me who was
foolish. Back then, it was-”
Before he could finish speaking, Gwendolyn playfully lifted his chin with her fingertips.
Maverick really seemed to be genuinely remorseful. His face was filled with regret, and his dark eyes.
brimmed with frustration.“Let me guess. You’ve figured it out and wanted to bed me right away?”
An undisguised mockery shone in her eyes as the corner of her lips lifted.
Other than sarcasm and coldness, no other emotions could be found in those eyes of hers, and
Maverick’s heart ached intensely.

He was not at all surprised that the bodyguard had overheard Frida’s words that day and relayed them
to Gwendolyn. However, he would never do something so despicable.
“I will never stoop that low as to have that kind of coercive behavior. From now on, I will not deceive or
manipulate you anymore, and I will prove it to you, whether you believe me or not. Whatever I owe you,
be it compensation or a price to pay, I am willing to give as long as you can give me another chance.”
“Chance?” Gwendolyn burst into laughter when she heard that. “I don’t care if you ate something wrong
or if your nerves are messed up today, but let me make one thing crystal clear: I will never go back on
my decision, and remarrying you is absolutely impossible in this lifetime unless you die!”
Is it truly impossible?
Maverick couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. He knew her personality well, yet he still couldn’t give her up.
He insisted on giving it a try even if it meant causing himself pain.“I’m the one who hurt you so deeply, and I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness. Let me stay by your
side for the rest of my life and serve you as your lifelong servant to atone for my sins.”
A lifetime? Gwendolyn raised her eyebrows slightly, a mocking smile on her lips. “So, if I were to marry
another man in the future, could you bear to watch me and him being affectionate every single day of
our lives?”
Maverick’s spine stiffened abruptly, and his entire face turned pale in an instant.
Upon seeing his reaction, Gwendolyn sneered, released her grip on his chin, and stood up to head
upstairs.
“Maverick, a lifetime is too long. Who knows what will happen? Try to get through this year first, then
we’ll see.”
Maverick knelt on the ground, and the words Gwendolyn had just said echoed in his ears for a long
time.
Can I really bear to watch her being affectionate with another man every day? No way!
He stayed in the living room for quite a long time, and gradually, he figured something out.
Since Gwendolyn didn’t believe his confession, he would just need to show her.
After tidying up the leftovers and plates on the table. Maverick went back to his room to take a shower.
Just as he stepped into the bathroom and began to undress, two small objects suddenly fell to the floor.
Maverick bent down to pick them up and discovered that they were three packets of coffee sugar.
He didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking that he had put them in his pocket while making coffee
during the day. Casually, he placed them on the bedside table and continued to take a shower.After taking a bath and putting on a bathrobe, he had just finished drying his hair when Gwendolyn’s
voice echoed from upstairs. “Maverick, come to the study for a moment.”
He immediately changed his clothes and went upstairs. As he opened the door to the study, he saw
Gwendolyn still working overtime in front of the computer.
Her cheeks were flushed with a captivating rosy hue because she had just drunk some wine, yet her
eyes remained bright and clear.

Upon seeing him enter, Gwendolyn said in a low voice, Make me a cup of coffee.”
Coffee? At this hour? Maverick furrowed his brows.

He wanted to dissuade her. “You’ve had some alcohol tonight, so you should rest early. Drinking coffee
and staying up late at this hour is too harmful to your body.”
Gwendolyn frowned and gave him a cold glance. “Hurry up.”
The talent show would come to an end the day after tomorrow, and she planned to make the final
performance a live broadcast.
She had to finish drafting the proposal within these two days, as she couldn’t trust anyone else with it.
Maverick saw the determination in her eyes. She had always been decisive, and once she made up her
mind, she wouldn’t easily change her stance.“How long do you plan on staying up? I’ll stay up with
you.”
Maverick turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen.
After brewing a nice cup of coffee without any fuss, he realized the sugar packet was empty.
Recalling the few packs in his room. Maverick went back and casually picked one, then placed it on the
coffee tray.
Gwendolyn was extremely focused in front of the computer. Maverick placed a cup of coffee next to her
and left the room. After closing the door, he leaned against it and stayed up all night to keep her
company.
About half an hour later, a strange panting sound suddenly came from the study.
