Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 148

Someone countered, “The Mossey family has already publicly cut ties with her a long time ago. She’s no longer Ms. Natasha of the family!”

“But wasn’t she sentenced to prison? How could she be here?”

“How did she become so ugly now? Her skin is so wrinkled. It feels like she has aged ten years…”

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Natasha felt the gaze from the crowd, and her entire body trembled helplessly.

She glanced around at everyone, trying to find the most familiar figure among them.

“Mave! I want Mave! Where’s my Mave?”

Meanwhile, outside the crowd, Samantha’s eyes flickered, and she glanced in that direction curiously.

“Maverick, it’s so lively over there. Let’s go check it out.”

Before Maverick could respond, she walked over, made her way through the crowd, and even kindly left a spot for Maverick.

“Hey, Maverick! Isn’t this Ms. Mossey?”

Maverick frowned tightly upon hearing the name, and his face exuded a cold aura.

His eyes darkened, and he walked over with an impenetrable expression.

Upon seeing him, Natasha’s emotions surged with excitement. She sobbed and said, “Mave! I’ve finally found you! You have no idea how much I’ve suffered in this period of time. I’ve endured so much torment in order to see you again…”

Her voice was a bit hoarse, and she cried out in deep sorrow.

However, her face was covered in bruises and wounds. On top of that, her bloodshot eyes made her look pitiful yet terrifying.

As she sobbed, she excitedly moved closer to Maverick’s feet, trying to grab the leg of his suit pants.

Maverick’s expression changed slightly, and he almost took a big step backward instinctively.

Joaquin, who was enjoying red wine in the main banquet hall, faintly heard the commotion in the back of the hall. He pulled Gwendolyn along to see what was going on.

As soon as they arrived at the back hall, they saw Natasha persistently crawling towards Maverick’s feet.

Maverick’s face looked terrible. He kept backing away as though he was trying to avoid a jinx until his back bumped into Gwendolyn, who just walked over.

Gwendolyn quickly supported his lower back with her hand, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted, and she sneered, “Trying to fake an accident?”

Maverick didn’t feel embarrassed. His face was slightly pale as he bent down to rub his leg.

“Gwendolyn, my knee hurts… I want to go back to the villa.”

His brows furrowed tightly, and when he turned to look at Gwendolyn, he quickly concealed the maliciousness in his eyes, replacing it with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

Gwendolyn didn’t bother to expose him. She casually glanced at Natasha, who was stunned by his words on the ground.

She put on a playful smile and teased, “No way! This is your personal matter, and you should deal with it properly yourself.”

After saying that, she forcefully pushed him toward Natasha with the hand that supported his lower back.

Then, she watched the show with her arms crossed and watched on casually.

The person I’ve been searching for so long unexpectedly appears at Gardens Hotel charity gala.

She was happy to watch the play as long as someone was willing to make the show.

Natasha, who was on the ground, looked pitiful as she reached out toward Maverick. “Mave…”

Maverick managed to balance himself in time, and as he looked down at Natasha, his dark eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and hostility. In a low voice, he warned, “Stay right there, and don’t come any closer.”

Natasha felt hurt when she saw his cold gaze. She began to sob uncontrollably, without caring about her image.

“Mave, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Tasha, your fiancée! Because of you, I was framed and imprisoned by that despicable Gwendolyn! Do you have any idea how much I’ve suffered?”

Maverick’s eyes became colder. “When I left Fairlake, Mother made the decision to call off the engagement. So, you and I have nothing to do with each other now.”

If it weren’t for everyone watching, he would have wished to kick the lier beneath his feet and vent his anger on her badly.

She pretended to be Gwendolyn and claimed she was the one who saved Declan. She even tried to put Gwendolyn in grave danger several times, and now she was suddenly brought out by someone to intensify the animosity between him and Gwendolyn.

D*mn it!

Joaquin, standing nearby, tutted and leaned in to whisper in Gwendolyn’s ear. “Gwendolyn, did you hear that? He is the epitome of a bad man! When he loves someone, he loves her passionately, but when he doesn’t, he’s more ruthless than anyone else. Thankfully, you got a divorce in time!” He was adding fuel to the fire.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Those once bright and clear eyes now stared deeply and silently at Maverick, who was standing not far away.

“Mave! How could you do this to me? I love you so much…”

Natasha was full of hope when she was taken out of prison, but now, seeing his cold and heartless expression, her feelings of despair and resentment were hard to suppress and almost burst out.

Maverick’s expression remained unchanged.
