“If you want Cecilia and Clara to fight over me, I’ll be very pleased because it shows that y
you care about me and that you don’t want to lose me
Sergio paused, then looked at Maeve. “But your indifference to their rivalry means that you don’t care about me at all.”
Sergio had tried to convince himself that Maeve was jealous and that Marve’s actions were driven by a desire to keep him.
But Maeve’s eyes held no concern for him. Everything she did was for her own benefit.
“Sergio, you’re a businessman. Now, I am too. This is what you’ve taught me.”
Maeve’s eyes reflected nothing but coldness. She held no affection for Sergio.
He couldn’t understand why Maeve, who had once loved him so deeply, had changed so much.
Maeve remained expressionless because she knew why she had no affection for Sergio
The Maeve who had once been wholly devoted to Sergio had come to a bad end. She swore never to repeat that mistake.
In her previous life, Serglo, as a businessman, had always prioritized profit over their marriage and had even disregarded their unborn child. This time, Maeve was merely using the same tactics that Sergio had once used against her.
Maeve smiled, but her eyes remained cold. “Sergio, we still have three months. Do your best to impress me. Let’s see if you can make me fall in love with you again.”

Sergio looked into Maeve’s cold eyes. He felt as though his heart had plummeted into an abyss. “Do you really hate me so much that you won’t even consider accepting me?”
Maeve replied coolly, “I’ll give you that answer when the three months are up.”

returned to Brooks Manor, Hailey was still awake. She was sitting in the living room, waiting for them.
As Maeve and Sergio walked in one after the other, her scrutinizing gaze fell upon them.
Hailey frowned and asked, “Where’s Cecilia? Didn’t I send her to pick you up?”
Sergio took Maeve’s hand and said, “We came back first.”
you leave her alone this late at night? Sergio, is this how
“What nonsense!” Hailey was clearly upset. “Cecilia is just a young girl. How could you I’ve raised you?”
“Grandma, Ms. Hoffman is an adult. I have no obligation to watch over her at all times.” Sergio continued coldly, “My obligation is only to protect Mavy.”
Maeve felt Sergio’s grip on her hand tighten. Hailey was clearly agitated, and she was unable to tolerate Sergio’s current attitude,
“You’re going to drive me mad!” Hailey exclaimed angrily. “Go back and find Cecilia now! If you don’t bring her back, you don’t need to return either!”
In the past, Sergio had never defied Hailey’s orders.
However, this time, he took out his phone and called Larry. “Larry, go to Royal Bistro and bring Ms. Hoffman back.”
“Alright, Mr. Brooks.“.
After hanging up, Sergio turned to Halley “Grandma, if you’re still worried, I’ll send a few more people to find Ms. Hoffman and ensure that she gets home safely within an hour.”
Hailey was left speechless by Sergio’s response.
Sergio then took Maeve’s hand and led her upstairs.
Once in their room, Maeve said wrarily, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Mauve,” Sergio said, holding her arm “Grandina didn’t mean it. If you’re upset, I’ll talk to her about moving
