Chapter 113: The truth about Valen

"Ehm…Maverick, I've been thinking… Well, uhm, I wanted to ask. What happened to Valen's mom?" She looked at his side profile. She knew they weren't close enough to talk about these things but curiosity got the best of her. 

"Why?" He asked without looking at her.

"I just… I'm wondering what would happen if she returns while we were still… you know, married." She lowered her eyes at her wedding ring, then shifted her gaze to his fingers but there was no wedding ring on it. 

This wasn't the first time she noticed it. He doesn't wear his wedding rings. Not that it mattered though, after all, the ring was never his size, so… but then, why was she feeling…disappointed? 

Wait! Is this the feeling of disappointment? But why? It never mattered to her, so why is she suddenly feeling bad about it? This is stupid. It must have been that she's unknowingly stressed out because of Valen's condition, yes, that's right. She concluded.
