Thinking of his gentle breathing and his intense desire, her face flushed agam She hopped the blanket and rolled around on the bed, feeling in het then she was absent to melt“
She pondered the possibility of having a child and thought about how wonderful it would he have one
After a while, she was suddenly startled by the phone ringing aconner She fumbled under the bed and found her Naomi’s intentionally grulle voice came through. “Aurora, do you have any important plans for today!“.
to from of the Sage family, unless it concerned Maverick, nothing the mattered. Aurora curled her lips and
and und. “Nothing important. Naomi,
“That come back home, there’s something important to announce. A piece of good news” Naomi said, brimming with undisguised joy
Aurora fel a shover run down her spine at the
er mention of “good news“, but she still asked. “What good news
“You’ll find out when you get here. Will you be coming in the morning or the afternoon‘ I’ll arrange things in my mid.”
The Sage family way Aurora’s family. She didn’t think she needed an outsider like Naomi to make arrangements for her to turn home. Aurora fels uncomfortable at the thought but was also curious about the good news. “I just woke up. I’ll be back in the aftemoon. Is everyone home!
“Everyone’s here, so I’ll wait for you to come back!”
After hanging up the phone. Aurora pondered for a while before gening up.

With a few quick strokes,
she defined her d
delicate features, hiding any trace of innocence and adding a hint of cool elegance.

His eyes lit up. He reached out to pull her into an embrace but suddenly stopped, as if something had crossed his mind. “No need to go”
His cold voice seemed angry, leaving Aurora feeling completely puzzled.
Seeing the two of them come downstairs, the maid hurriedly brought out breakfast. They had wanted to serve it earlier and wake Aurora up, but Maverick insisted that Aurora needed to sleep longer.
As the sat down at the dining table, Aurora’s gaze fell on the hle bag next to Maverick’s hand. “Did you bring company documents home to review
“It’s not the company’s documents Maverick replied indifferently and pushed the file bag towards her. “Didn’t I say I’d help you investigate the kidnapping case? I’ve found out the details”
Aurora’s expression immediately became serious. “Who did it!”
She reached for the file bag, but Maverick placed a hand on it. “Don’t cry after reading it.”
“Who’s gonna cry Aurora felt annoyed and embarrassed. She anatched the file bag and began to eat breakfast while examining its contents.
She already had some guesses in her heart, but when she saw the evidence in front of her eyes, Aurora’s heart still ache. She hated herself even mure for being blind in the past.
There was not much in the document bag. There were only a few screenshots of the
the surveillance video and a recombing pen
Half of the man’s face was revealed on the screenshot. In a dark alley, he hid behind a pillar and anviled as he looked at the scene not far away,
