VALENCIA'S POV
"You didn't answer me," I probed more.
Maverick looked at me with a troubled expression.
I know he didn't want me to meet his brother because he thought he wasn't worthy of it.
But I wanted to meet him.
Yes, it was a sick thought, but I, who didn't have a biological family member left, thought that anyone was and could be saved and taken to the path of redemption.
Maybe it was because I didn't feel and went through the kind of betrayal Maverick went through that I was so optimistic about this, but…
I wanted to give it a try.
Even though Maverick says he hates that man with his heart and everything he holds onto, he is lonely and scared deep down.
Like a little boy who is afraid to talk against his mother because deep down he believes maybe his mother isn't wrong and whatever she did was in a moment of anger or because she was under someone's influence.
"Do you really want to meet him?" He asked.
