Chapter 45
Aurora was so angry that she pretended not to hear the apology. She glared and said. Tve been waiting for nwo hours, and now you’re telling nie
It meant that she had waited for two hours in vain. –
“I’m so sorry. This is the fastest way to deal with it at the moment.
Their attitude was firms, offering Aurora only twothers either switch people immediately or patiently wait there. Annoyed, she tossed her hair and asked, “So, when wall you roughly arrive here,
“Mrs Sage, you’re in a remote area. We can’t say for sure…
“You’re the one responsible for this, why can’t you tell me the exact time?” Aurora was furious.

eager to go back and hug her husband, then persuade him to agree to let her work at the Sage Group. But there were always people holding
If there were even the slightest way, she wouldn’t be here, just waiting around.
Miss Sage, please don’t worry. I just checked the location. If nothing goes wrong, we will definitely arrive in an hour and a half. But, this is just an extonate, and there’s no way to predict if any unexpected delays might occur.
These words only made Aurora more upset, though she knew they had done all they could. She replied curtly, “Fine, let’s leave it at here for another hour and a half Just get here as soon as possible.”
“Alright, thank you for your understanding. Miss Sage. Wishing you a pleasant day!”
Holding her phone with the screen dark, Aurora muttered to herself, “A pleasant day? The only thing that would make me feel good right now is getting this matter resolved”
They had promised to arrive within an hour and a half, but Aurora wasn’t content to just wait. After thinking it over for a moment, she decided to head out to the road and try to flag down passing cars. As a young woman without much strength, she couldn’t change the tire herself
But if she couldn’t get a few more people to help, she could offer some money, buy a spare tire from whoever wops, and, along with her own car’s spare, that should be enough. As for the roadside assistance team that hailed on her, they’d better be ready to be left hanging by her in return.
This place was indeed remote. Aurora stood in the middle of the road, and there were no cars passing by. After waiting for half an hour, a gray Mercedes finally appeared in the distance.
She spent a lot of money to buy the driver’s spare tire, then pretended to be pitiful and asked him to help her change the tire. In the end, she gave him an extra tip as a thank–you.
By the time everything was done, the driver teased her, saying, “A young woman like you shouldn’t be flagging down cars this late. Lucky for you you ran into a nice guy like me today. If it were a bad guy, you could be in trouble.
Aurora codded, realizing she probably wouldn’t be flagging down cars on the road like that again.
At this moment, there were only ten minutes left until the agreed time with the road rescue team. Her car had already been repaired, so there no need to wait any longer.
After repeatedly thanking the driver, she set off again toward the island.

After nearly three hours of havde, it was already past six. She wondered how things were going at home and if Maverick might be worried about her
Maverick was so caught up in Ruth’s appearance dat he hadn’t had a moment to worry about her.
When Maverick returned at noon, Kath was already waiting in the living room. By the time he came downstairs, she was still there, now watching a movie and occasionally checking the time

His expression darkened, but he still spoke up for Aurora. “Today is the day she’s visiting her family. I came back early, so she’s probably still at the

immediately noticed something was off by his expression. She narrowed her eyes and said, “You don’t need to defend her. Didn’t you two go together for the visit? Why would you leave her alone and come back by yourself?”

She continued. Your quarrels are not my business, but the fact that she stayed out all night shows she doesn’t respect you. To be blunt, if she skip coming home tonight, tomorrow she might just bring her lover into the house. Are you really going to keep defending her?”
Leaving home night after getting married was not common for a normal person. Ruth glanced at the door, but there was in sound outside, not even the sound of Aurora returning.
Maverick frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably frustrated. “It’s getting late. I’ll have someone take you back.
“Why should I go back? I’m going to wait here today and see when Aurora will finally come back. If she wants to be part of the Parker family, she should know some basic manners“” Ruth said coldly, then turned her attention back to the TV. “You do your thing. I’ll just wait here.”
Her voice was cold, and her face was clearly filled with anger. Maverick couldn’t help but worry that Aurora might not return tonight. However. relling her that over the phone seemed impossible to him. He couldn’t bring himself to lower his pride like that.
Ruth was waiting downstairs, and Maverick didn’t dare go upstairs, quietly staying by her side. Not long after, Aurora rushed back in a hurry when they had already watched the second movie,

“Maverick, there was a place.
Maverick glanced at her without saying a word, while Ruth calmly paused the movie and said, “Come and sit.”
Aurora’s heart tightened as she repeatedly cast a pleading glance at Maverick. She didn’t know what was going on. She had just come back for a visit, but Maverick had called Ruth to come over. She wondered how long Ruth had been here and what would happen next.
Feeling confused. Aurora quickly sat down beside Ruth and asked nervously, “What’s the matter?”
Ruth glanced at her and asked coldly, “Why are you coming back so late?”
It was almost ten o’clock. Other people might have already ca

She felt like nothing was going right today. The only moment of relief was when she saw Maverick back and dressed neatly as she came downstairs in the morning. Everything else, from leaving the Sage family, had been nothing but bad news
“Flat tire and traffic jam, what a great excuse,” Ruth said with a cold laugh. Then why did you fight with Maverick?” Aurora looked up at Maverick, silently asking with her eyes, surprised that his mother knew about this.
Maverick ignored her. He grabbed the TV remote, lowered the volume, and continued watching the movie they hadn’t f

Aurora said nervously. “On the way back, I wanted to buy a cake, but he said I’ve already had enough sweets today and that eating more would ruin my teeth…
