Capítulo 271: Mother's Dream

VALENCIA'S POV

I opened my eyes slowly, the morning light making me blink a couple of times to get adjusted. 

Though the blinds were drawn in, some of the sunlight was still coming inside through the gaps, falling directly on my face.

I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, the sadness of what I saw still gripping my heart and making me yearn again. 

"Are you awake, my love?" I heard Maverick's voice and turned my gaze to look at him.

He stood before me with a tray of food in his hands, a soft smile lingering on his lips while his eyes beamed with happiness at something hard to decipher. 

"Hmm," I hummed, my hands clutching the blanket around my chest when I felt my bare legs and realized I was naked under the blanket. 

As if Maverick understood my hesitation, he sighed, walked to me, and placed the tray on the nightstand before kissing my forehead.

"Here," He offered me a shirt from the couch.
