Chapter 165 Abandon me

Chapter 165 Abandon me
Maverick instantly returned to his room and got on the bed. Upon feeling the familiar warmth beside her, Valencia subconsciously stretched out her hand and burrowed into Maverick’s embrace.
Maverick’s expression softened, and he kissed her
.
.
Valencia’s lips parted in a yawn, and she leisurely rolled on the bed before her eyes flew wide open. Maverick wasn't on the bed. Valencia squinted her eyes and propped her head lazily. Even though her action was effortless, her whole person was exuding a seductive aura.
Any man who stepped into the room and saw such a scene of Valencia would definitely be filled with temptation.
Valencia, unaware, squinted. Maverick was the sick one, yet he was always up before her, and as if that wasn't enough, he had always taken his bath before she met him.
Suddenly, Valencia smacked her own head. What nonsense was she thinking? It's not as if there's any female around that will bathe and help Maverick put on his clothes.
Nor would Maverick let his guards touch him. Maverick was proud. There's no way he'd allow a guard to do so. Definitely!
Upon thinking like this, Valencia calmed down, but in the next moment, Valencia’s lips pursed in gloom. It turns out that Maverick could really handle himself.
Yet every night he had always acted like he injured his hand, forcing Valencia to take care of him. He even teased her extremely. Such a hooligan.
Valencia puffed out her cheeks, her chest heaving and falling heavily in indignation. See if she doesn’t handle him later.
It was clear that someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or she was influenced by pregancy hormones.
Knock. Knock.
A sudden knocking on the door snapped Valencia out of her chaotic thoughts and indignation.
Upon realizing what she was thinking about, Valencia almost wanted to slap herself. She could only inhale deeply to regain control over her emotions.
Valencia arranged her dress neatly and elegantly covered herself with the blanket before saying, “Come in.”
Immediately, the door was pushed open, and Hazel stepped into the room. She smiled at Valencia warmly and asked, “Did I wake you?”
Upon seeing Hazel, Valencia immediately sat up straight and threw down the blanket. She got off the bed, shook her head, and responded, “No, mom, I woke up myself. Good morning, mom.”
Hazel leaned forward and placed a kiss on Valencia’s cheek and forehead in response, “Good morning, baby, how was your night?”
Valencia instantly froze, and her cheeks burned red due to shyness. She wasn't used to this type of affection at all, so she was caught off guard.
Upon seeing Valencia’s expression, Hazel misunderstood. “I'm sorry. I…” She was used to greeting Sapphire like this every morning. She couldn't wait to do it to her own daughter. It turns out that she was too fast, and Valencia…
Valencia smiled bashfully and quickly wrapped her hands around Hazel's. She quickly clarified, “Mom, it's not like that. I like it. I was just shy.” She truthfully responded.
Upon hearing this, Hazel’s face broke into a warm smile, and she patted Valencia’s hand. Valencia is so beautiful and caring, how could anyone not like her?
“I'll go take a bath.” Valencia immediately announced, and after she received a nod from Hazel, she immediately made her way into the bathroom.
Minutes later, Valencia sat on the stool and patiently let Hazel brush and dry her hair. “Did you sleep well? Is your bedroom to your liking? Later, when you have settled down, mom and dad will arrange a room according to your preference.” Hazel carefully spoke.
Valencia immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, mom. Thank you, mom.”
As soon as Valencia was done, she picked out a dress and put it on. Immediately, Valencia stepped out of the closet, and Mrs. Hazel stepped forward and meticulously helped Valencia arrange her dress.
Valencia’s heart turned warm, and she wrapped her hands around Hazel’s figure. Even though Valencia had a motherly figure who loved her and treated her sincerely, seeing her mom care for her, Valencia realized that there was no sweeter feeling than this. That closeness, that love was unparalleled.
Seeing Valencia smiling so happily, Hazel reached out and touched her forehead. “Mom and dad will make you happy from now on.”
Valencia immediately smiled beautifully and nodded.
“I made your favorite soup and healthy food for a pregnant woman. You are so thin. You have to eat well. Before you get married, mom has to fatten you up.” Hazel began to speak while leading Valencia out of the room.
Valencia sensibly nodded and hummed occasionally to Hazel's words. Just hearing Hazel care for her was more than enough to make her happy and make her day. She really envies the way Hazel must have raised Sapphire with love. However, what does it matter? All her parents' love will now belong to her.
“Madam, young madam.” As soon as Valencia and Hazel stepped out of the room, they were greeted by guards.
Suddenly, a guard stepped forward and held a phone toward Hazel. “Young madam, Miss Sapphire has been requesting to speak with you,” he uttered.
Hazel's expression immediately changed, and she chided, “What are the police thinking? Is a criminal request something they can just casually allow?” She chided harshly.
The Vandenberg guard knew that the phone being given to Hazel wasn't the police giving Sapphire what she wanted. The Relling family had long been taken from the police station by Maverick's men. And this was the last time the Austeegard family would be able to speak with her.
It wasn't that Maverick cared about Sapphire; all he wanted was to settle any tension or feelings that the Austeegard family might have toward Sapphire just so his woman could live without issue.
However, the Vandenberg guard's loyalty was only to Maverick, and it was not his concern to tell this to Hazel.
Hazel pressed her lips together and raised her hand in order to wave the guard off so he could leave.
However, before she could, Valencia stepped forward and extended her hand, signaling that the guard should hand the phone to her. The guard immediately nodded and handed the phone over to Valencia.
Valencia turned to Hazel and handed the phone to her. “Mom, I think it's best to say a final goodbye.”
Although Valencia was a bit envious, the truth was, what parent can find it easy to throw the child they had raised as theirs all their lives away so easily?
Immediately after Valencia spoke, she turned toward the dining room to eat breakfast. Before she sat down, she suddenly frowned and asked,
“Where's your boss?”
She hadn't seen Maverick all morning.
Valencia pursed her lips. She missed those times when Maverick was the first person she saw.
“Boss has gone out for an errand.” As soon as the guard said this, he immediately took a step back and bowed to her.
Hazel frowned and held the phone for a while. Suddenly, she turned and approached Quist's study. She flung the door open and wrapped her hands around Quist.
“Hubby, our daughter is filial and special. We must make her happy at all cost.” even though
Valencia could have ignored the things between the Austeegard and Sapphire yet she didn't. Instead, Valencia chose to hand the phone over to Hazel so she can speak with Sapphire. They were really fortunate
Quist wrapped his hands around her and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“We will,” he said sincerely, his eyes on Hazel filled with love.
Even though years had passed, their love was evidently strong. Even stronger as time passed.
Hazel immediately pushed the phone onto Quist's table and looked into Quist's eyes. She spoke with determination, “Let's say goodbye.”
Quist nodded, agreeing to his wife's wishes.
Upon seeing the phone, he immediately understood what Maverick planned to do. The last restraint in his heart immediately diffused. That brat's love for his daughter was actually sincere and evident.
Hazel immediately dialed the first number on the phone. It was a video call.
Upon seeing the call, Sapphire's eyes lit up, and she picked up the call.
“Mom, Dad. I know you will not abandon me,” she expressed joyfully.
