Chapter 525 âMarve, look at me,â Zion said firmly while holding Marveâs face steady. âI know Sergio means a lot to you, but he canât be a part of this.â He tapped Maeve gently on the chest Maeve chuckled softly. âWhy do you think Sergio is so special to me?â
âitâs obvious from the way you look at him. He matters to youânot just because he was your husband, but because you havenât been able to move on.â
As Zion finished, Maeveâs smile faded. She met his gaze seriously. âIâve never had trouble moving on from Sergio. Besides, my heart can only hold one person at a time. Once youâre in it, no one else can ficâ
Zionâs stem expression softened into a smile as he looked at Maeve. âAlright.â
Marve neatly gathered the ledgers and handed them over to zion to manage.
By the time she reached Brooks Manor, it was already afternoon. Marve took out her key, only to remember that the locks had been replaced long ago.
Just then, Allie opened the door. Her excitement was unmistakable when she saw Maeve Mrs. Brooks, youâre back! Come in!â
Allie welcomed Maeve inside, saying, âMrs. Brooks, Theard you were coming back today, so I prepared a feast!â
Allieâs face was beaming with happiness as she added, âMr. Brooks mentioned you wouldnât be leaving again. Is that true?

âI will have to leave eventually. I still have work.â
Allle nodded. âThatâs right, Mrs. Brooks. Work is important.â
As Allie led Marve inside, Sergio came down from the second floor. His expression softened when he saw Marve Hadley emerged from the room with a displeased expression. She shot a look at Sergio before forcing a strained smile. âAllie, you should have called me when the guest arrived.â Alle burnedly explained, âMrs. Brooks Senior, I just happened to run into Mrs. Brooks. It wasnât intentional..
Lately, Haileyâs temper had been quite unpredictable.
Marve looked at Halley with a smile. âMrs. Brooks Senior, Sergio and 1 are still family. How can you call me a guest?
She walked over to Sergio and linked her arms with his. âBesides, this is our home. Youâve been here for several days now, Mrs.
Brooks Senior. Donât you think itâs time you head back to Brooks Estate for a while?â
Halley was taken aback by Maeveâs words.
Sergio looked at Maeveâs arm around his and naturally led her to the dining table. He addressed Hailey, âManyâs right, Grandma, you should go home for a bit.
âThe house is small, and if May moves back in, it might get a bit crowded.â
Haileyâs face flushed with embarrassment as Sergio continued to defend Maeve. However, Sergio had already made the stakes at this marriage clear to Halley the day before.
To Hailey, it seemed better for Sergio to reconcile with Maeve than to marry Clara, who was responsible for the death of her greatâgrandson.
Given the Scott familyâs bankruptcy, Maeve, with her lack of influence, was easier to control.
âIâm not thrilled to see you back, but since Sergio wants to remarry you, as his grandmother, I canât interfere too much. I just hope you both can be happy and avoid any scandals that might tarnish the Brooks family name.â
Halley continued, âAlso, Iâve heard your job doesnât pay well. Sergio and I have decided to give you a monthly allowance so you donât have to work.
âSince you and Sergio are so serious about each other, it might be best to start thinking about having a child soon to stabilize your marriage,â
Hailey gave Marve a knowing look. She assumed Maeveâs job at Mirage Group paid only a few thousand dollars a month.
For someone like Marve, who was once a wealthy heiress, such a salary wouldnât have sufficed If Maeve wanted to marry into wealth, she needed to learn how to compromise. Marve looked at Hailey with a smile. âMrs. Brooks Senior, how much are you planning to give me then?â
âHalf a milon for a month. You wonât need to go out, and that should be more than enough.â
âHalfamillion. Thatâs not enough.â
Marve rested her chin on her hand and gazed affectionately at Berglo. âSergio gives me a million dollars a month and even supports my decision to keep working
