Chapter 445: Trying to impress his wife
Maverick was the last to leave the Red Room. As he walked along the quiet and dim passage, images of his son and wife flashed through his mind. He flattened his lips as he thought of her reaction.
Maverick was convinced that nobody would tell Jeslyn where he had been all this while. He’d be the one to tell her himself but the man couldn’t help feeling dread over how angry she’d be.
Maverick stopped by his bedroom door and unlocked it, then went in. Nothing was out of place, except that his bed had a little wrinkle here and there, evidence that someone slept on it last night. The man lowered his height and touched the wrinkles like he was imagining Jeslyn sleeping on the sheets.
A moment later, he went into the bathroom, shaved his overgrown beard and took a long shower to wash away the stress and gloom that had been hovering around him, still, the man couldn’t find much joy in his heart.
He had been feeling somewhat and restless ever since he woke up, but it wasn’t something worth dwelling on. He thought.
Getting out of the shower after a long hour of relaxing his muscles and submerging himself in a hot bath, he opened his closet, but the first thing that greeted him was his wife’s night dress.
Indeed she slept here last night. Maverick’s lips stretched into a faint smile before grabbing a black shirt and black pants to put on.
It was already late afternoon and he was home, so he shouldn’t be dressing like he was going out for work, however, the man felt that his wife needed to see his attractiveness so her anger wouldn’t be much.
Maverick slicked his grown hair backwards with the help of gel to give him a gentlemanly vibe. After that, he applied cologne to smell exactly as Jeslyn loved.
