Loving You All Over Again (Aurora and Maverick)

There was nothing left to say about old feelings. It was just the TV playing at that moment.

Aurora pouted without speaking, her eyes fixed on the thermos in his hand. "What did you bring to me?"

"Chicken soup. Maverick opened the thermos and poured out the chicken soup.

Upon hearing it was chicken soup, Aurora lost interest, but the delicious aroma caught her attention.

The soup was rich and creamy, with delicate, smooth chicken meat.

"You cook this?"

"Do you think I'd do that?"

Aurora looked away, silently thinking to herself that she had indeed overthought things.

Such a rich and creamy chicken soup was obviously made by an old chef with exquisite skills.

Maverick was usually too busy with company projects to have time to learn something like this.

When Maverick turned on the TV, the news was still covering Scott, with everyone speculating whether he and Maverick might end up competing over Aurora.

No one

e knew for sure how many people would be implicated and how many people would benefit from it.

Just as Maverick was about to fly into a rage, the report finalnoveldrama

The reporter ended with a question to keep viewers hooked, but neither of the two people in the hospital room seemed to care.

The chicken was just as tender and flavorful as it looked, and Aurora couldn't help but finish every drop of the rich broth. Finally, parting her stomach, she asked hopefully, "Could you bring this again next time?"

Being in the hospital, the doctor did not allow her to eat many things.

Over the past few days, she felt like her meals tasted so bland. First, they were light, but then there wasn't even a hint of salt.

Maverick looked at the empty thermos, smiling. "Be good, and I'll bring it again."

"When was I not good?" Aurora muttered, then suddenly remembered the trouble she'd caused a few days ago.

Although she hadn't meant to cause trouble, there was no way she could ignore Mia's situation.

But by now, it as impossible to say this hadn't affected Maverick.

"So how do you explain the situation with Scott?"

Maverick was just asking such a simple question, but Aurora looked embarrassed.

hed, and her eyes lit up. "Is someone selling peaches outside? I want to eat some peaches!"

Maverick looked at her intently, his gaze so deep that it made her a bit nervous. Finally, he stood up. Tll go buy some for you "Hurry, or they leave?"

Maverick walked out with a faint smile on his lips.

After he left, Aurora looked at the thermos on the table,

arrying the faint scent of chicken soup

Though she could enjoy good meals at home, this soup tasted just like the ones she used to have when she was at the Sage family home.

12:45 PM D

Maverick must have gone to her home to have the chef make it for her. She began to wonder why Elias didn't come p

Just as the thought crossed her mind, her phone rang. It was Elias calling. personally.

Aurora answered the call, and her father's slightly older voice made her heart ache.

"Aurora? Are you feeling better now?

"Dad. I'm much better."

"That's good to hear. Maverick came by and told me you haven't been eating well lately. He even went to our house to ask the chef to make you some chicken

It tastes just like before, right?"

"Yes, I finished it all. I was wondering why it tasted so familiar!"

Her gaze fell on the thermos, a smile spreading across her face. It seemed things weren't as bad as they seemed.

"I'm glad you finished it. I've been busy with work lately, so I won't be able to visit you. But once you're fully recovered, come back and we'll have a meal together."

Elias sighed, and Aurora couldn't shake the feeling that he had something he wanted to say. "Dad, is there something you want to tell ne? Is it about Evelyn?" Elias hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he denied, "No. Not at all. Anyway, I have a meeting. Just focus on resting and get well soon,

He hung up the phone, but Aurora's heart sank

His words made it clear that he was likely planning to marry Evelyn.

But that couldn't happen. Aurora wouldn't mind if he married someone else, but Evelyn was someone Aurora couldn't easily acce

accept She had long been someone else's mistress, had a child even before the legitimate wife, and had been scheming to take over the Sage family's wealth with her daughter. She had indirectly caused the deaths of the father and daughter. Aurora would never allow such a tragedy to happen again.

Meanwhile, Maverick had gone out to buy some peaches for Aurora. As he walked through the streets, he saw fruit vendors everywhere, each claiming their peaches were the freshest and tastiest.

He chose a stall where the peaches looked clean and shiny, bought a few, and headed back to the hospital

While walking down the hallway, thinking about how the peaches might ste, a figure appeared in front of him. It was a person he never wanted to see aj

The man was holding a few peaches as well and greeted Maverick with a smile, "My. Parker"

He couldn't bear to say no and almost got a beating from Elias for indulging her too much.

Maverick watched his side, feeling nothing but irritation. He tightened his grip on the shopping bag filled with peaches, his expression neutral mesurer indulgence will only burm lie,

"After she suffered from it, the never ate so many peaches again. If I hadn't let her eat them in the first place, she would have blamed

He paused kooking at Maverick with a mocking gaze. Just like your marriage. Only after marrying you did she realize what kind of erim you ate and whether you two are truly suited for each other. Isnt that right?

He had startedl with peaches, but now he was talking about marriage. Scott's words implied that Aurora only married Maverick because it seemed like a fresh experience. After going through it, she would feel the pain, like when she had "diarrhea, and realize whether it was truly worth it or not.

Maverick's expression darkened, but he replied coldly. "The one who watches her suffer doesn't seem to have the right to say these things to me.

Scott said. "Mr. Parker, aren't you watching her suffer too? You two are not suited

for each other. She's a very innocent girl, and she doesn't belong in your Parker family's environment. You can't protect her, so it's better to let go early.

The current situation in the Parker family was that both Isaac and Ruth didn't particularly like Aurora as their daughter-in-law.

The only one who could protect Aurora was Maverick. But no matter how much

he tried, he had to choose between his parents and his wife. He couldn't favor his wife all the time.

There would be times when he couldn't protect her.
