Never See You Again

Maeve spoke with such coldness, her eyes devoid of affection.

Sergio stood rooted in place with his fists clenched. He was unable to bring himself to leave.

Maeve let out a chuckle. "What's the matter, Mr. Brooks? Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to humiliate you?" Larry couldn't bear to watch any longer. He quietly urged, "Let's go, Mr. Brooks..."

Maeve averted her gaze, refusing to look at Sergio again.

Sergio slowly stepped back as his eyes were still fixed on Maeve. Finally, he turned and left, suppressing the bitterness in his heart.

In the car, Larry glanced at Sergio through the rearview mirror. Sergio was silent, his face clouded with anger,

Larry couldn't help but say, "Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks is probably mad at you for a while. Maybe everything will be fine in a few days."

"I don't get it. Why won't she let me in her heart?" Sergio muttered in a low voice.

Larry replied, "Maybe it's because Mrs. Brooks is holding a grudge against you due to the situation with Ms. Stewart. After all... why would a woman want her husband to have a child with someone else?" "No, that's not what I meant. I'm referring to before."

"What?" Larry asked in confusion.

Sergio lifted his gaze and furrowed his brow. "I'm talking about something from much earlier."

Larry looked bewildered as he did not understand what Sergio meant.

However, Sergio knew that Maeve had been rejecting him a long time ago. There was no love in her eyes.

He still remembered how Meave used to pursue him in the past.

Once someone stopped loving another person, the change in their gaze became apparent.

"Mr. Brooks..."

"Do you still remember what I did during the first month after Maeve and I got married?"

"You didn't do much, Mr. Brooks... You just didn't come home often, and didn't really care about Mrs. Brooks," Larry said tactfully

Sergio was very attracted to Clara at the time, and he brought her everywhere. On the contrary, he wasn't as attentive to Maeve, his newlywed wife.

"Was I just indifferent toward her back then?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Maybe... there was a hint of disgust too."

It was because Maeve always tried to win Sergio's favor by imitating Clara.

That indeed made Sergio feel disgusted, but other than that, there wasn't much else.

"If it was just that, then why do I always feel like there's hatred in her eyes when she looks at me?"

He remembered that Maeve's gaze held fear, dread, and disdain back then.

He didn't care much about Maeve at that time, so didn't think much about it. But now, it all seemed so irrational.

"Don't dwell on it too much, Mr. Brooks. Mrs. Brooks used to adore you so much; she wouldn't just divorce you easily, right?" Larry reassured.

"I believe Mrs. Brooks will come back once you've handled the situation with Ms. Stewart."

"Come back? Zion even brought his men for her."

The image of Marve standing with Zion flashed through Sergio's mind once again.

He restrained his anger and said, "We'll pressure the Scott family in the next few days. I'll force her to come back."

"But... the Scott Group has already been acquired by Mirage Group. It might not be that easy to make a move against them."
