Chapter 120 Sergio quickly withdrew his hand as Maeve seemed on the verge of passing out.
âCough, cough!â Maeve coughed twice, her face still flushed, and it took her a while to recover.
âMaeve, I...â Sergio wanted to reach out and touch the red marks on Maeveâs neck, but she backed away instinctively.
Sergio fell silent. He had lost control just now.
As Sergio and Maeve made their way home, neither of them spoke. Upon arriving at the Brooks Manor, Maeve noticed the cozy decorations inside, which were obviously arranged by Hailey.
As she reflected on the scene in the car moments ago, Maeve couldnât suppress a selfâdeprecating smile. The idea of sharing a roof with a man who tried to kill her was sickening.
âMaeve!â Sergioâs voice sounded from behind, but Maeve continued walking upstairs. She didnât want to say a word to Sergio now, let alone listen to his explanation.
The next morning, as dawn approached, Maeve came down from upstairs and saw Sergio leaning tiredly on the sofa, looking as if he hadnât slept all night.
With a few daily essentials packed, Maeve prepared to head back to the apartment early.
As she came down, Sergioâs nerves immediately tensed. He blocked Maeveâs path, appearing somewhat disheveled and weary.
He softened his tone and asked, âWhere are you going?â
âBack to the apartment,â Maeve replied, her expression cold.
Sergio grabbed Marveâs wrist and hesitated before slowing saying, âDonât leave today. Last nightâs incident caused quite a stir, so Iâm worried grandma will come and ask about it.â
Maeve shook off Sergioâs hand. She thought Sergio wanted to apologize for last nightâs incident, but she didnât expect him to still be worried about Clara getting hurt.
âThis man is beyond redemption,â she thought to herself.
âIt has nothing to do with me. Just tell her the truth,â Maeve said firmly. She had intended to stay today, but yesterdayâs incident made her eager to leave.
Sergio held onto Maeveâs luggage and said, âDonât you want to keep grandma from finding out that youâre studying at Amenam University?â Maeve detected the underlying threat in Sergioâs single sentence. As expected, he was willing to do anything for Claraâs sake.
âIt doesnât matter. I can divorce you,â Maeve declared firmly.
Sergio was caught off guard by Maeveâs words. Maeve then walked past him with her luggage and ignored Sergio completely.
As he felt a sudden emptiness in his hand and a hollow ache in his heart, Sergio rubbed his temples in frustration. He couldnât understand why he had lost control of his emotions last night. He was usually composed, but Maeveâs refusal to accompany him to the banquet and then showing up with Zion had left him extremely frustrated.
However this time, he had gone too far.
Just then, Sergioâs phone rang, and he answered wearily, âWhatâs the matter?â
âMr. Brooks, Ms. Stewart wants to be discharged now,â Larry replied.
âGot it, send me there now.â
âYes, Mr. Brooks.â
