Never See You Again

Chapter 100

"Quit acting like you don't know anything!"

Sergio narrowed his eyes.

Maeve had gotten sick of staying at home for the past few days. She was just waiting for Sergio to lose his patience and speak up, anyway.

"Don't threaten me with my enrollment in Amenam University. The worst that could happen is us getting

divorced. We'll both be in shambles then."

Maeve wasn't worried that Sergio would expose her secret to Hailey. He had to keep it a secret as long as

he still hadn't gained enough benefit from the Scott family.

As expected, Sergio changed his mind. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Let's make a deal. I'll put in a good word for you, but you'll have to play along with me too."

"Play along with you?"

Sergio glanced suspiciously at Maeve. "That's it?"

"You have to play the role of the perfect husband in front of everyone else. You have to listen to me and

give me due respect when we're in the presence of the Scott family.

"You also have to speak up for me when necessary and become someone for me to depend on. This deal

should be a piece of cake for you. You won't lose anything

Maeve didn't beat around the bush at all. She still needed Sergio to put on an act in front of the Scott family, but after the ruckus Hailey caused a few days ago, Sergio refused to be nice to Maeve anymore. Of course, he wouldn't willingly play along with her and speak up for her, either.

After thinking for a moment, Sergio said, "Alright, I'll agree to it."

"Great"

Maeve set down the tablet she was holding. Getting up, she smoothed her dress and said, "Call Mrs.

Brooks Senior over for dinner. I'm cooking."

Sergio frowned. "What are you trying to do?"

"What else? I'm trying to put on

a lovey-dovey act with you in front of Mrs. Brooks Senior. Only then she'll

be satisfied enough to let you out.

Sergio sneered. "So you've already planned this a long time ago,"

Sergio put on an expression that said, "So this was all part of your plan."

But Maeve couldn't be bothered to respond to him.

In the afternoon, Larry dropped Hailey off at Brooks Manor. Maeve was bustling about in the kitchen while

Sergio helped her out from time to time. They looked just like newlyweds.

Hailey nodded in satisfaction when she saw that.

When they sat at the table, Sergio was considerate enough to put extra food on Maeve's plate. He would. also joke with Maeve occasionally.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

It was only then that Hailey finally relaxed.

"Mrs. Brooks Senior, I'd like to go shopping tomorrow, Can Sergio come with me?"

Hailey was elated to hear Maeve saying that. She even wanted to celebrate it if she could.

"Of course. Get Sergio to go shopping with you. He must feel very bored staying at home all day." With Hailey's permission, Sergio was finally free from his punishment.

The next day, to avoid Hailey's suspicions, Maeve still went to a commercial street with Sergio.

However, Sergio didn't go there to shop with Maeve. Instead, he was going to meet Clara.

When they arrived at a restaurant on the seventh floor of a building, Maeve settled down at a table while Sergio found an excuse to go to the bathroom. From a distance away, Maeve could already see Clara, who was standing outside the restaurant and anxiously peering inside.
