Chapter 414 As soon as Mave spoke, regret flooded through her. Sergioâs unwavering affection remained steadfast in his gaze. He had staked everything on her love long ago.
âIâll give it to you if you want,â Sergio replied without hesitation.
âAre you saying that because youâre sure I wonât take it?â Maeve retorted.
âI didnât meanâ}}}
âAlright, enough games. Letâs move on to the next spot.â Marve cut him off and strode toward the amusement park exit Seeing Sergioâs stunned expression, Maeve pressed, âDonât tell me this was your only plan.â
Sergio always had a Plan. Inviting her out so extravagantly meant there was more to come. She was curious to see what else he had up his sleeve, especially after conquering his fear of heights.
âIâll take you there,â Sergio said as he trailed behind Maeve. Each time he closed the distance, she moved a step ahead The gap between them seemed almost imperceptible.
âWhat? Senously?â charlie sprang from Zionâs couch.
Lyraâs voice crackled urgently through the phone: âItâs true, I swear! Why would I lie to you? Sergio rented out the entire amusement park Just think about why a guy would g that far. Itâs Maeveâs birthday today!â
âDamn, Sergioâs such a sneaky bastard!â Charlie jumped off the coach, shouting, âZion! Zion! Get out here quickly! Your girlâs about to get swept off her feet! Zion!â
Charlie was so frantic that he swung open Zionâs door only to find a spotless, empty room.
âWhatâs happening?â Lyra demanded on the phone. âWhere is Zee? Is he awake?â
Lyraâs barrage of questions left Charle speechless. After a momentâs hesitation, he replied, âNo. He vanished.â
âWhat? Vanish?â Lyra sounded bewildered. âHow can he just disappear out of thin air? Check the bathroom!â
âHeâs not there, Lyral Even if I turned the whole place upside down, Zion wouldnât be hiding in the toilet!â
âCould Zion have caught on and gone to prepare for Maeveâs birthday celebration? Is he finally getting it?â Charlieâs mind raced with questions. âOkay, forget that for now, Lerâs stick to Plan B.Iâll make a restaurant reservation while you figure out how to distract Maeve from Sergio!â
âGot it!â Lyrs agreed without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Sergio had taken Maeve to a nearby mall. They enjoyed a simple bunch of her favorite cuisine before heading downstairs. What had been an empty mall atrium was now bursting with fresh flowers. A large screen boklly declared, âHappy Birthday, Maeve.â The floor was carpeted with petals, and balloons floated everywhere. Maeve stood in me.
The sides were adorned with beautifully wrapped exits.
Not sure where to begin, Sergio guided Marve to the center of the atrium.
âI wasnât sure what youâd like, so I prepared some gifts that ladies usually go for,â he explained. âTheyâre all wrapped up.â
Mare pointed to a car with a bow in the distance. âDoes that include the car?
berglo passed, then replied, âMonte, I suppose so
