Never See You Again

"That was just one of my company's staff members. She was helping me pick out gifts. I assumed that a woman would be better at picking out nice gifts, Sergio said as he looked at Marve. His gaze was more soulful than usual

If she hadn't already known his true intentions, she might actually have been fooled by the way he looked at her.

Sharon immediately began to look humiliated at the sight of Maeve and Sergio's romantic interactions.

She had definitely heard about Sergio getting close to some female university student. Besides, everyone knew about Marve's one-sided love for him

anyway

"Not only are you so established at a young age, but you're also so sweet and thoughtful when it comes to Marve. I must say that it was a great choice for you to marry her. My brother must be smiling down on us in heaven. Also, it's just a family gathering. There's no need to be so cautious with us," Philip said as he excitedly beckoned for Sergio to sit down.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Maeve held onto Sergio's arm as she whispered to him, "Your acting is better than I thought "

"I could say the same for you," he replied in his usual cold tone.

Sharon simply couldn't get comfortable in her seat. She occasionally glanced at Sergio and Maeve as if trying to dig out some sort of crack in their disguise. "Aunt Sharon, is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking over here?" Maeve suddenly said, causing Sheron to flinch awkwardly.

She replied, "I can't help but admire how in love you two are. It's very different from how the rumors made it seem."

"Rumors can never be trusted. Have you actually started to believe all that rubbish, Aunt Sharon?" Maeve said as she placed a piece of meat onto Sergio's plate.

Sergio had always been a fan of more mild flavors, but he still ate the heavily seasoned piece of meat without blinking an eye. After that, he naturally put the piece of fish that he had completely deboned for Maeve onto her plate..

Sharon's mouth twitched. "Yes. Rumors truly can't be trusted. I finally get to see how much Mr. Brooks loves Maeve now."

Philip was watching their interaction the whole time and asked in confusion, "Maeve, since when did you like eating fish?"

Sharon seemed to come alive after Philip pointed that out. She glanced at Maeve as if she had caught them red-handed. "Oh, right! Our beloved princess never eats fish. How could Mr. Brooks forget about that? Could it be

"You're reading too much into it, Aunt Sharon. Sergio likes eating fish, so I got used to it after eating with him for so long."

Sharon clearly didn't believe Maeve's reasoning and was about to argue when Sergio suddenly said, "It sounds like you don't approve of our relationship, Mrs. Sharon."

"Of course not. I'm just concerned about you newlyweds, that's all." Sharon lost all of her gravitas when it came to Sergio. She no longer

cer dared to keep

arguing

Maeve simply continued eating silently,

Even though it was technically a Scott family gathering, none of the people there treated each other like family. Everyone was sizing each other up.

Since Maeve was the sole daughter of the Scott family, the other members and branch families of the Scott family couldn't say anything to her directly. However, they were all waiting to see her fall off her throne. Ever since her father passed away, none of them were giving up the possibility of becoming the next head of the Scott family.

As soon as she got into trouble, all of the money her father left behind would get gobbled up by all of her relatives.

In her past life, she had been desperate for Sergio's love since she had grown up in such circumstances.

Looking back on it, she couldn't help but feel like she was a fool.

She had given everything she had to Sergio, but he had never taken it seriously.

In her past life, Sergio could have gotten her out of trouble with a single command, but he never did that. All he did was watch her coldly from the sidelines

With that thought in mind, she unconsciously retracted the hand she had been lying on Sergio's.

He frowned slightly, but hurkily enough, nobody else at the table noticed.

After the gathering, Sergio and Marve left the house holding hands. The moment they were out of sight, Marve quickly let go of his hand.
