Chapter 382 Subconsciously, Maeve glanced toward the kitchen, where Zion was wearing a black apron. His movements appeared somewhat leisurely while he was trying some Perhaps sensing Maeveâs gaze, Zion looked up, and their eyes met. Maeve quickly averted her eyes, but it was too late.
âTime to eat!â Charlie called out loudly. He walked out alone, carrying three plates of food, while Zion held a single plate and placed it in front of Maeve.
Observing the scene, Charlie couldnât help but sigh. âAh, when will I ever see you being this attentive to me?â
Lyra interjected, âTo you? Maybe in the next lifetime.â
As Maeve lowered her head to eat, she received a message from Sergio.
She glanced at Zion subconsciously and saw that he wasnât looking her way. She then read the message.
Sergio had sent her a text that said, âMeet me at the Royal Hotel at 8:00 pm Maeve hesitated for a while as she thought of the dream she had.
She then replied, âThereâs no need. Iâll meet you at Brooks Group right now.â
After sending the message, she placed her phone on the table.
Setting down her fork and spoon, Maeve said, âIâm full. I have to step out for a bit.â
Lyra asked, âDo you w want me to go with you?â
âNo, I need to deal with something.â
Maeve returned to her room and changed into plain clothes.
In the living room, Charlie remarked, âZee, this is a chance for you to shine. Since you have nothing to do, why donât you play chauffeur and give Ms. Scott a ride?â
âShe doesnât want me to.â
Zion simply glanced at Maeveâs phone on the table and knew she was going to meet up with Sergio.
Charlie couldnât grasp the situation. âHow would you know she doesnât want you to go? What it sheâ
Zion pressed his spoon heavily against the plate with a clack Then, he got up and left.
Charlie glanced down at the plate, which had shattered into two halves.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and wondered how much resentment there must be to break a plate in half with a spoon.
When Maeve came out from her room, Zion was nowhere to be seen.
She asked in confusion, âWhereâs Zion?â
Lyra lled, âHe went back to his room. Heâs probably catching some sleepâ
Maeve fell silent for a moment, then held her phone and said, âIâm leaving now. You donât have to wait for me for lunch. Iâll go straight to the Scott Manor after Iâm done.â
Lyra was surprised. âSo, youâre not staying here anymore?â
Glancing at Zionâs door that was shut, Maeve murmured, âYeah,â before leaving.
âWhatâs wrong with Zion? Heâs throwing a childish tantrum for no reason! Now look, his wife has run o run off!â Charlie said in frustration.
Lyra, however, sensed something was off: âCould it be that... Zion thinks Maeve is meeting up with Sergio?â
âMeeting up with Sergio? Theyâre enemies. What could they possibly have to talk about?â
Lyca replied, âRelationships are complicated. Maybe Mavyâs going to put an end to things with Sergio this time.â
âCome on, if Sergio doesnât sign the divorce papers, do you really think Ms. Scott can get divorced? Heâs Sergio, not some random guy off the street!â
Charlie continued, âI donât know what Sergioâs thinking. When his wife was by his side, he went out looking for mistresses. Now that he has a mistress, he still wonât let go of his wife. And heâs pretending to be some hero! Zeeâs a rare gem compared to Sergiolâ
Lyra rolled her eyes and said, âI think theyâre both equally bad. Has the issue with Serena been resolved?â
