Chapter 39: Chapter 39

.

Chapter 39 Sergio’s deep eyes were filled with a dangerously intimidating aura.

Upon hearing the word “husband,” Sheldon’s entire body stiffened Serglo tossed aside the umbrella and took Maeve from Sheldon’s arms, Larry picked up the umbrella, closely following behind Sergio.

Only Sheldon remained frozen in place.

Marve.. was Sergio’s wile?

In the hospital, Maeve slowly regained consciousness. The rain was still falling outside.

She vaguely remembered being blocked by Sheldon at the entrance of Building 2, but what happened after that?

Maeve struggled to sit up and tumed her head to see Sergio sleeping with his cheek in his hand.

“Ms. Scott, you’re awake?” Larry walled in with a briefcase.

Sergio opened his eyes and saw Maeve awake on the hospital bed.

Seeing that Sergio’s face showed some fatigue, Maeve asked, “Did you take me to the hospital?”

Berglo didn’t answer her question.

Larry took the laptop out of the briefcase and placed it in front of Sergio, “Madam, Mr. Brooks went to the university to look for you this morning, but you fainted. Mr. Brooks even skipped the meeting and has been staying with you in the hospital.”

“You’re not needed here anymore. You can leave,” Sergio said indifferently.

But Maeve could tell that Sergio was angry.

Maeve asked again, “Why did you go to the university?”

“As a wife, how could you let your husband be unable to reach you? Where else should I go if not to your university?”

Maeve then remembered that she had hung up on Sergio’s call last night.

She said, “I wasn’t feeling well last night, so “So you hung up on me?

Maeve didn’t argue.

Hanging up on him was indeed her fault.

“Give me your address. I’ll have someone move all your things back.”

Maeve frowned, “Sergio, we agreed not to interfere with each other.”

“Can you take care of yourself if you live alone?”

“I can.”

“So this is how you take care of yourself?”

Maeve couldn’t refute it. “I just tend to catch colds easily during seasonal changes. This time, it’s just a bit more severe.”

“End of discussion.”

“Sergio!”

“Maeve!”

e!” Sergio said coldly, “Are you learning to talk back now?

“Sergio, it was my own decision to attend Amenam University. W We’re just in a business alliance, a contractual marriage. I’ll be a proper and dignified Mrs. Brooks in front of others, but you can’t interfere with me or harm my interests.”

“A contractual marriage?” Sergio narrowed his eyes dangerously.

So this was how she saw their marriage all along “n’t it?”

From beginning to end, she and Sergio were just a couple in name only.

Sergio took a deep breath. “Alright, I can let you live outside, but only when you’re busy with your studies. I’ll have Larry pick you up and take you hour every day. It’s not proper for my wife to live outside. If you don’t want Grandma to find out, I suggest you do as I say Marye wanted to say something, but Serglo stopped her coldly, “This is my bottom line.”
