Chapter 168 Thank you mom

Chapter 168 Thank you mom
“Where are we going?” Valencia tilted her neck in curiosity and asked Maverick.

At first, Valencia thought that something simple was planned by Maverick, but after attending the university's speech and playing at the amusement park, she soon guessed that today was a day prepared to fulfill her wish through dates, and that made her happy. She didn’t know what Maverick planned next, and that was what she wanted to know.

Maverick playfully tickled her nose and calmly spoke, “Surprise.”

Valencia wrinkled her nose and directed a feigned glare at Maverick. She puckered her lips and crossed her hands while turning to the other side.

She didn’t know why he was being mysterious. In the end, she was going to know it anyway.

Despite Valencia's thoughts, she couldn't hide the eagerness and enthusiasm, and her curiosity also. She really wanted to know where they were going—so much that she was restless.

After puckering her lips and turning to the other side and receiving no coaxing from Maverick, she had no choice but to turn to him and ask again.

Maverick's lips curved up in amusement. The woman had just acted as if she really didn’t care anymore. Now she wanted to know everything. Playing with her is so fun. He casually spoke again, “Surprise.”

Valencia harrumphed, but still she stretched her hand and grabbed Maverick's. She placed her head on his shoulder and whined, “Tell me, Maverick, tell me.”

Maverick's eyes shone with a devilish glint, and his shining eyes landed on the woman's body suggestively. “I can if you will...”

Before he completed his words, he leaned toward the woman and whispered something into her ear.

Valencia's face turned beetroot red, and her ears became pink.

Seeing her cute expression, Maverick leaned forward, captured her ear, and bit it, causing her to jump.

Valencia jolted, quickly pushed him away, and glared at him faintly. This lustful man—always thinking of this every time. She slammed, “Don’t even think about it.” She would soon know anyway; why would she let him hm-hm just to know?

Did he think Valencia was silly and she’d fall for his tricks? No way! Immediately, Valencia turned to the other side and began to take a look at the beautiful city.

Maverick’s lips curved up, and he wrapped his hand around the woman. He expected her to act this way once he said those words. That was the reason he purposely told her that response.

This way, the woman would definitely be angry and ignore him, and in that way, she wouldn’t care about the answer she wanted to receive from him.

Their car came to a stop and parked at a famous restaurant in the country. The restaurant was famous for preparing foreign meals, including dishes from the country Valencia had lived in before.

Valencia's eyes lit up. She had missed that country's meals a lot. She hadn’t expected Maverick to bring her here when she was craving the meals so much.

Without hesitation, Valencia jumped down from the car and hurried to the restaurant.

Maverick’s brows furrowed in dissatisfaction at her reckless actions. Yet, he followed the woman.

With a tug, he pulled the woman into his embrace and poked her forehead unhappily.

Knowing that what she did was wrong, Valencia could only smile and give Maverick an apologetic gaze.

The restaurant manager was already waiting for both of them. The instant he saw them, he bowed and respectfully greeted, “Mr. Maverick, Mrs. Valencia.”

Maverick wrapped his hands around his woman’s waist and aloofly responded, “Lead the way.”

The manager bowed again and led the way into the empty restaurant—booked for the entire day by Maverick.

Several chefs were already waiting in attendance. Once the couple entered, they bowed.

As soon as they settled in their chairs, the chefs stepped forward and began their services.

The more Valencia saw the meals, the more her eyes brightened, her lips curving up like a little child. When the delicious aroma drifted into her nose, her stomach rumbled. It was exactly her favorite. She hadn’t expected Maverick to know.

At that moment, her love for Maverick increased a notch. When this person meant it, he really could make a woman happy.

Just the beautiful aroma was more than enough to make Valencia’s mouth water. And the moment she put the spoon to her lips, she couldn't help but moan in joy.

Maverick’s eyes darkened immediately. If it wasn’t for his current state, he would have definitely picked the woman up and thrown her into the bedroom for a fierce exercise.

Valencia’s eyes squinted in joy, and she smiled at Maverick. “So delicious, Maverick, have a taste.” She picked up the spoon and scooped the meal into it. Immediately, she stretched it toward Maverick.

The emotion in Maverick's heart immediately disappeared, replaced by a sense of warmth that overwhelmed his whole being.

Maverick parted his lips and let Valencia scoop the meal into his mouth.

Seeing Maverick carefully chew, Valencia’s eyes squinted, and she joyfully said while tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, “It is delicious, isn't it?”

Maverick nodded in acquiescence. “Delicious.” But not as delicious as his woman. She was the most delicious.

Not knowing what was going on in Maverick’s mind, Valencia smiled and said considerately, “Eat more.”

Seeing the woman’s eagerness, Maverick—who initially didn’t feel hungry—immediately felt his appetite increase. He picked up the spoon and began to eat.

Suddenly, Valencia paused eating, puckered her lips, and suggested, while staring at Maverick with big innocent eyes, “Maverick, what if we let the quadruplets join us here? We still have a long time before we leave and return home. This will give the family more time to get used to each other.”

Maverick, who was a wrapped-up husband, didn’t hesitate or think twice before agreeing with his woman. "Whatever you want, baby.”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Valencia’s face, and the worry in her heart immediately disappeared. She focused on her meal.

The restaurant ambiance somehow turned romantic, filled with serenity and warmth. Coupled with the sweet orchestra playing in the background, everything seemed otherworldly.

At the end of the day, Valencia visited the cinema, the snack shop, and several other places, being completely spoiled to the core by President Maverick. The day was so filled with fun.

Effortlessly, the couple were high profile and always managed to attract attention.

Not to mention that they were acting leisurely and didn’t bother to hide or let the guards protect them—within minutes, their pictures had already made their way online and circulated, gaining millions of likes.

Upon seeing the couple together, the netizens were instantly filled with shock and began to wonder what was going on between them.

Several debates started: Who was Valencia ending up with—Maverick or Corbyn? What was Valencia’s relationship with the Cirillo family?

It wasn’t until the Vandenberg family officially reposted a viral picture with the caption, “Daughter-in-law,” that the netizens finally understood.

At that moment, everyone realized that Maverick and Valencia were the real couple. And regardless of what the two did, they were still together.

“Did you have fun?”

Even without listening to Valencia’s response, Hazel knew that she definitely did. Looking at Valencia’s sparkling eyes, her upturned lips, and the grin plastered on her face—how much more evidence did she need?

Valencia nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice and grinned. “Very.”

Seeing Maverick like this made her understand why she fell in love with him. He’s really too handsome, caring, and meticulous.

Currently, the two were walking through the large Austeegard estate, Hazel showing Valencia around the house and telling her everything she needed to know.

Hazel suddenly paused in her tracks and held Valencia’s hand. She stared into Valencia’s eyes and sincerely uttered, “Valencia, I wish you a lifetime of happiness with Maverick.”

A smile appeared on Valencia’s face, and she responded, “Thank you, Mom.”
