Chapter 16: Chapter 16

.

Chapter 16 Sergio was displeased. Maeve forcefully squeezed her way in after sensing his stiffness. Inside, the dim light revealed a table set with a candlelit dinner. Maeve’s expression changed upon seeing this scene. It was definitely Hailey’s idea. No wonder Hailey requested Sergio to bring her home after leaving the mall. Turned out, this was her plan “Maeve, you’re quite something.” Sergio remarked.

“I didn’t plan this” Maeve attempted to explain, but Sergio had already thrown what he was holding to the ground and left the house without hesitating Yet, as soon as Sergio stepped out, he noticed the driver had already driven away. As Maeve witnessed this scene, she fully understood Hailey’s intention Hailey probably wouldn’t give in unless she and Sergio stayed together tonight.

“Don’t bother wasting your energy.” Maeve said, “Go sleep in the living room, and I’ll sleep in the bedroom tonight.”

Sergio shot Maeve a cold glance before entering the house. “You better don’t play any tricks.”

Marve couldn’t help but laugh at herself because of the disgust she saw in Sergio’s eyes. See, this is what happens if you love him. No matter how much she loved Sergio before, she was just a woman who resorted to dirty tricks in his eyes. She didn’t realize how unbearable she was in Sergio’s eyes till пон Maeve walked to the table and looked at the dinner spread. Even if Sergio had no appetite, she was exhausted from accompanying Hailey around the whole day.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Maeve asked.

“I don’t have the appetite,” Sergio replied while reading newspapers on the sola.

Maeve merely pretended to be polite and began eating. Sergio lifted his head as he noticed Marve’s indifference. He felt Maeve was somewhat different from before, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Maeve sensed his gaze and asked, “Are you going to eat?”

“No,” he replied curtly.

“Then why are you looking at me?”

Sergio averted his gaze. She was different now, even more annoying!

Maeve glanced at the time on her phone. She had an appointment with Zion today, but she missed it because of Hailey’s matter.

She hoped Sergio would leave soon so she could explain the situation to Zion. She also had questions regarding Devon and that piece of land.

Ding ding At that moment, Sergio’s phone rang. Maeve sneakily glanced over and noticed the contact was named “Clara.”

“Hello? Sergio’s voice softened considerably.

Maeve held her breath to listen to their conversation.

“Mr. Brooks, I would like to go to the hospital...”

“The hospital? Is the injury on your ankle getting worse?”

“Yes... it hurts a bit.” Clara’s voice was very very weak Sergio glanced at Maeve who was looking. He took a deep breath and said, “I’ll come over now!!
