Matthew stared at the closed door. Then, he lowered his head as he stood in front of the bed.
Lucia glared at him.
She spat, “You heard everything, didn’t you? I have already laid the groundwork for you. Don’t screw this up. If you do, I won’t take it lightly with you.”
Like an obedient little boy, Matthew kept his head down as he said, “Thank you, Grandma. I won’t let you down.”
Today drained Stella. Once she got home, she slumped in the sofa and closed her eyes for a quick rest.
It wasn’t until she relaxed her body that she began to feel the pain in her ankle again.
Stella bent down and reached out to rub it.
Earlier today, she used an ointment on it and it went a long way to relieve the pain.
She planned on going to the hospital after work to get her ankle checked if the pain persisted. But it skipped her mind after she received Maverick’s message.
She remembered the box of ointments that she received today.
She looked to her side and reached for it immediately.
After opening it again, she rummaged through it in search of something to treat her sprain. She saw one in no time.
Maybe his grandmother was right. Maverick was indeed considerate.
At the thought of this, Stella opened the particular vial and applied the ointment on her ankle.
It was cool at first. And then, it burned a little as she massaged her ankle with it. Like magic, the pain was reduced drastically.

Stella took in a deep breath and relaxed again.
Staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, she mulled over all that Lucia told her this evening.
Was he really serious about wanting to grow old with her?
But wasn’t he the one who was demanding a divorce? Didn’t he want it anymore?
Could it be that he lied to Lucia so her health wouldn’t deteriorate further?
Maverick gave off the vibe of a headstrong man, so there was no way he suddenly developed a crush on her just because he saved her once.
This had to be just an act.
Stella frowned more tightly.
Thinking hard almost drove her crazy. Still, she could not figure out what was on Maverick’s mind. More doubts kept springing up in her head instead.
