Maverick was exhausted after working in front of the computer for a whole day. His stomach was completely empty.
He did not care about his image as he gobbled up the food.
"Are you done yet?" Theodore looked at the computer and asked.
"I'm pretty much done. I have a small part left which I will finish in a while. By the way, aren't you going to investigate who's behind this?"
He was more curious about who had done this.
Theodore did not say a word. He did not need to investigate to know who was behind this. Wouldn't he know who was once the CEO here?
"Let's settle this first."
"Alright."
Maverick and the others finally finished the work at midnight. After that, Xavier checked Maverick and Theodore into a hotel to rest.
He had to care for them after they had helped out so much.
The next day, Maverick was listless as he bought some things before going to visit the Meyer family. He wanted to visit the day before, but he had to help Theodore out. If he did not go that day, it would feel inappropriate.
When Maverick arrived at the Meyer family house, he saw Felicia eating breakfast on her own. When she saw him, she was stunned.
"You... Did you come alone?"
"Yes. Ysabelle is still asleep, isn't she? I just thought of coming here earlier."
Felicia raised her eyebrows. She could tell at a glance that Maverick did not have a good sleep the night before. His dark circles were so bad that he looked just like a panda.
"I'll wake Ysabelle up," she said and ordered the servant to do so.
Maverick followed her and sat down on the sofa.
"Ysabelle said that you would come yesterday."
He looked a little embarrassed as he explained, "I wanted to come yesterday, but I had something urgent to settle. That's why I came here first thing in the morning to beg for Ysabelle's forgiveness."
She looked at him meaningfully. Since he had made it clear, she could not say anything.
Not long after, Ysabelle came down. She was dressed in casual clothes and looked a lot more relaxed. Compared to her usual domineering look, she was much more gentle.
"Why did you come here so early in the morning?" She yawned and said. Obviously, she had not woken up fully yet.
"I didn't come yesterday. If I didn't come here today to meet your parents, I might not be able to enter your family," Maverick responded as he held her hand and asked her to sit by his side.
"Tell Mom and Dad that we're all going out for lunch together later." Ysabelle had already arranged it.
Christopher and Erine were invited to lunch as well.
At this time, Christopher was extremely busy in the hospital. When he received the call from Ysabelle, he felt a little awkward.
Why was it that day?
"What's wrong? You look pale." Everleigh came in for some water and saw him sitting on his chair with a look of despair.
"Ysabelle asked us to have lunch later because Maverick is here. Look at the amount of patients here. It's impossible for me to leave."
She thought that it was a big deal when she saw the look on his face. However, she could help him deal with this small issue. "You must be present for this kind of thing. Otherwise, people might think that you look down upon the Laneigh family. Go attend the gathering. I'll handle things here."
"Everleigh, you really are the best. Me helping you before this did not go to waste. I'll invite Erine later." He was waiting for her to suggest this. It would not have been right for him to bring it up.
