Chapter 246 UT âIf you want Cecilia and Clara to fight over me, Iâll be very pleased because it shows that y you care about me and that you donât want to lose me Sergio paused, then looked at Maeve. âBut your indifference to their rivalry means that you donât care about me at all.â
Sergio had tried to convince himself that Maeve was jealous and that Marveâs actions were driven by a desire to keep him.
But Maeveâs eyes held no concern for him. Everything she did was for her own benefit.
âSergio, youâre a businessman. Now, I am too. This is what youâve taught me.â
Maeveâs eyes reflected nothing but coldness. She held no affection for Sergio.
He couldnât understand why Maeve, who had once loved him so deeply, had changed so much.
Maeve remained expressionless because she knew why she had no affection for Sergio The Maeve who had once been wholly devoted to Sergio had come to a bad end. She swore never to repeat that mistake.
In her previous life, Serglo, as a businessman, had always prioritized profit over their marriage and had even disregarded their unborn child. This time, Maeve was merely using the same tactics that Sergio had once used against her.
Maeve smiled, but her eyes remained cold. âSergio, we still have three months. Do your best to impress me. Letâs see if you can make me fall in love with you again.â
1 Sergio looked into Maeveâs cold eyes. He felt as though his heart had plummeted into an abyss. âDo you really hate me so much that you wonât even consider accepting me?â
Maeve replied coolly, âIâll give you that answer when the three months are up.â
When they r returned to Brooks Manor, Hailey was still awake. She was sitting in the living room, waiting for them.
As Maeve and Sergio walked in one after the other, her scrutinizing gaze fell upon them.
Hailey frowned and asked, âWhereâs Cecilia? Didnât I send her to pick you up?â
Sergio took Maeveâs hand and said, âWe came back first.â
you leave her alone this late at night? Sergio, is this how âWhat nonsense!â Hailey was clearly upset. âCecilia is just a young girl. How could you Iâve raised you?â
âGrandma, Ms. Hoffman is an adult. I have no obligation to watch over her at all times.â Sergio continued coldly, âMy obligation is only to protect Mavy.â
Maeve felt Sergioâs grip on her hand tighten. Hailey was clearly agitated, and she was unable to tolerate Sergioâs current attitude, âYouâre going to drive me mad!â Hailey exclaimed angrily. âGo back and find Cecilia now! If you donât bring her back, you donât need to return either!â
In the past, Sergio had never defied Haileyâs orders.
However, this time, he took out his phone and called Larry. âLarry, go to Royal Bistro and bring Ms. Hoffman back.â
âAlright, Mr. Brooks.â.
After hanging up, Sergio turned to Halley âGrandma, if youâre still worried, Iâll send a few more people to find Ms. Hoffman and ensure that she gets home safely within an hour.â
Hailey was left speechless by Sergioâs response.
Sergio then took Maeveâs hand and led her upstairs.
Once in their room, Maeve said wrarily, âIâm going to take a shower.â
âMauve,â Sergio said, holding her arm âGrandina didnât mean it. If youâre upset, Iâll talk to her about moving
