Chapter 72 You’re Mine Now

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!”
