Never See You Again

Zion replied calmly.

Maeve said, "You're quite good at choosing fruits. You're even better than my maid at home

Zion smiled, shrugging it off.

Of course, he wouldn't tell her that he had tried every single fruit he bought. If not, he wouldn't have spent

so much time away.

Just then, in the living room, they could hear a vibrating sound coming from a bedroom.

Lyra said, "Sounds like someone's phone is ringing.

The group exchanged glances.

Charlie said, "I don't have a habit of silencing my phone."

Zion didn't say anything. Lyra took out her phone, saying, "Mine's right here."

It was only then that Maeve remembered something. After hanging up on Larry yesterday, she felt annoyed, so she silenced her phone.

At that thought, Maeve hastily pushed back her chair and ran to the bedroom.

Her phone was still vibrating in the bedroom. It was a call from Larry.

Maeve hastily answered the call. "Hello?"

When Larry heard Maeve's voice, he couldn't help but sigh in relief. "Madam, you've finally picked up."

"Is something the matter?"

"Mr. Brooks was looking everywhere for you last night. Later on, when he heard that you've left with Zion, he was so mad that he hung up straight away. He didn't even go to work today. Can you please contact. him and tell him to drop by the company? There's an important decision for him to make."

"He was looking for me?"

Maeve was puzzled.

Why would Sergio look for her out of the blue?

Sergio never cared much about her, did he?

Maeve checked her phone. As expected, she saw lots of missed calls from last night. But then, Sergio stopped calling her at about 3:00 am.

"Madam, I think Mr. Brooks still cares about you. Why don't you call Mr. Brooks back? Maybe..."

"Got it. Thank you, Larry."

Maeve ended the call. Then, she considered sending a message to Sergio. She tried calling him first, but Chapter 54-

22

the phone only rang once before a cold mechanical voice rang out, saying, "Hello, the number you have dialed is currently in use." Maeve patiently sent a WhatsApp message to Sergio. "I had a little too much to drink last night. Were you looking for me?"

She had just sent the message when she noticed that Sergio had already blocked her.

Maeve's expression darkened a little.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

What was Sergio up to?

Noticing that Maeve still hadn't left the bedroom, Lyra walked in and asked, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"

"Yesterday, Sergio kept calling me throughout the night. In the end, he just blocked me."

"Huh? What's his problem?"

Lyra recalled Sergio's behavior when he spoke up for Clara. She felt annoyed. "Say, how did you convince yourself to get married to someone like him?"

Maeve said, "You may not believe this, but I was the one who fell for him first."

Lyra looked at Maeve in shock. She seemed to be saying, "Your preferences are quite interesting!"

A long while later, Lyra finally regained her composure. She tried to find an excuse for Maeve. "Still, I guess it makes sense. After all, you don't know his true colors before getting married to him. "Setting everything else aside, Sergio has decent looks, so it's understandable for a young girl to fall for him without thinking."

Maeve smiled helplessly.

In the afternoon, Maeve still decided to check in on things at Brooks Manor.
