Chapter 72

On the screen was a photo of Nicole’s

second brother receiving a prize in

Switzerland. At the age of seventeen,

Maverick received the Breakthrough Prize

and had since leaped to fame as the top

scientist in the physics world. He was a

genius that countless countries

desperately wanted to hire. In this photo,

Maverick looked clean-shaven and fresh

with a warm sunny smile.

“You know him too?!” Molly Stewart ran

over to Nicole in excitement. Her eyes

were sparkling with admiration. “He’s my

idol. I love him so much! If I get to see

him in person, I can just die without

regret!”

Nicole was silent. Her second brother

was indeed very sought after in the

industry, but he had a weird temper. He

did not like girls being around him, so

much so that her father was worried that

her second brother would end up alone

for life.

Molly excitedly shared all of Maverick’s

achievements with Nicole and pulled her

arm. “Don’t you think that he’s

handsome? He’s hands-down better than

any movie stars out there! I wonder

what’s beneath those clothes…”

Nicole paused and pursed her lips, then

muttered, “He’s alright…”

Maverick often walked around bare-

chested at home when he was young. He

had a good figure, but compared to her

big brother and third brother, Maverick

was only considered average.

“How do you know?” Molly looked at

Nicole in disbelief. “Do you know him?!” . Nicole was stunned and thought.’ Wouldn’t it be interesting if

Molly went after Second Brother…?’ She smiled cheekily and said, “I have his phone number. Do you

want it?” Molly was stunned. “Are you serious?!” Nicole took out her phone and video- called Maverick

in front of Molly. He was abroad and looked like he just woke up because his hair was messy when he

appeared on the phone screen. Molly covered her mouth and squealed. She took a step back and even

twirled around in excitement. “Nicole? What’s up? I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t have time to

contact you.”

Nicole smiled and said, “Nothing much, just wanted to see you. I have a friend who’s a big fan of yours.

Can you give her an autograph?”

Maverick hesitated for a while and

reluctantly nodded, “Okay, just one.”

Nicole hung up the phone in satisfaction

and looked at Molly’s gleeful face. She

could not help but laugh. “I’ll give it to you

when I get my hands on it.”

Molly tried to control her excitement and

went up to pull Nicole’s hand. “OMG! I

can’t believe I just saw Maverick’s

sleeping face?!”

Nicole was speechless.

“Can I please have his phone number? Is

that okay?” Molly looked at Nicole with

pleading eyes and put her hands together

in a begging gesture. She blinked her big

round eyes and said, “What do you want i

in return? Do you want this stupid tiger?”

Molly pointed at the little tiger in Nicole’s

arms. She looked expectant and scared,

afraid that Nicole would reject this trade-

off!

Nicole froze and looked up in surprise.

“Are you willing to give it to me? Will

Gerard agree to it?”

“Of course! Why won’t I be?!” Molly

smiled excitedly and spoke decisively.”

This tiger is mine, not Gerard’s, so he

doesn’t have a say in it.”

“Great! It’s a deal!” Nicole adored this

little tiger. The first time Nicole saw it,

she was too shy to ask for it.

Nicole quickly gave Maverick’s phone

number and social media handles to

Molly, who was so grateful that she

hugged and kissed Nicole on the cheek.”

Nikki! You’re the best! I love you so much!”

The little tiger was discontented and

pushed away Molly’s hand that was on

Nicole’s arm, then spoke aggrievedly.”

Don’t touch my pretty lady! She’s mine!”

Nicole laughed and stroked the little

tiger’s head. “From now on, you’re mine

too.”

The little tiger happily shook its

shoulders. “I like you! Take me home!”

“Does it need to be charged?”

Nicole had to ask for tips to better care

for this little tiger

Molly was not in the mood to explain and

waved her hand. She was busy looking at

her phone, waiting for Maverick to accept

her friend request. “Just ask it. It knows

itself well!”

Nicole touched the little tiger’s furry back

and asked with a surprised tone, “Really?!

You know everything?”

The little tiger proudly straightened its

back and rubbed its head on her palm. “Of course! I know everything!”
