Chapter: Chapter 24Maverick was stunned by what she said. He wasn't saying anything and was just staring at her. So, she smiled and caressed his both cheeks using her thumbs."You don't have to answer. I just really want to tell you how I feel," she said.Maverick held both of her hands that are still in his face, he removed it from there and squeezed."You're making me happy, Emilia. I can't believe a small woman like you can make me feel so much happiness," he said and she couldn't help but roll her eyes from his remark."Ang yabang mo alam mo?"

Chapter: Chapter 23"Will you please listen to me first?" Maverick asked, stopping her from totally leaving by holding her on her elbow."What do I have to hear, Maverick? I'm not stupid, I know where I should stand in every situation," she said.Ano pa ba kasi ang dapat niyang marinig? Hindi pa ba sapat na sobra na siyang nasasaktan dahil sa nalaman n'ya?

Chapter: Chapter 20Dim lights, scented candles, and a table set romantically. It was the scene she came to the moment she stepped in their unit.And behind those is Maverick who's nervously smiling at him with a bouquet of flowers in his hands."What are these?" She asked.Maverick took a step closer to her and handed her the flowers. "I don't know what exactly I've done wrong for you to get mad but still, I want to apologize.

Chapter: Chapter 19She's hurt. Hearing Maverick said those words breaks her heart. Umasa kasi s'ya, e. Umasa na siya mahal na siya nito kaya gano'n na ang trato nito sa kan'ya. Umasa siya dahil siya, mahal niya na ito."You're so stupid, Gian." She told herself as she wiped away the tears that kept on falling from her eyes.It has already been three days since that conversation between Maverick and Connor happened but she still mourn about it.
