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 Maeve’s gaze, Zion looked up, and their eyes met. Maeve quickly averted her eyes, but it was too late.
“Time to eat!” 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 couldn’t help but sigh. “Ah, when will I ever see you being this attentive to me?”
Lyra interjected, “To you? Maybe in the next lifetime.”
As Maeve lowered her head to eat, she received a message from Sergio.
She glanced at Zion subconsciously and saw that he wasn’t looking her way. She then read the message.
Sergio had sent her a text that said, “Meet 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, “There’s no need. I’ll meet you at Brooks Group right now.”
After sending the message, she placed her phone on the table.
Setting down her fork and spoon, Maeve said, “I’m full. I have to step out for a bit.”
Lyra asked,
“Do you w
want me to go with you?”
“No, I need to deal with something.”
Maeve returned to her room and changed into plain clothes.
In the living room, Charlie remarked, “Zee, this is a chance for you to shine. Since you have nothing to do, why don’t you play chauffeur and give Ms. Scott a ride?”
“She doesn’t want me to.”
Zion simply glanced at Maeve’s phone on the table and knew she was going to meet up with Sergio.
Charlie couldn’t grasp the situation. “How would you know she doesn’t want you to go? What it she”
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, “Where’s Zion?”
Lyra lled, “He went back to his room. He’s probably catching some sleep”
Maeve fell silent for a moment, then held her phone and said, “I’m leaving now. You don’t have to wait for me for lunch. I’ll go straight to the Scott Manor after I’m done.”
Lyra was surprised. “So, you’re not staying here anymore?”
Glancing at Zion’s door that was shut, Maeve murmured, “Yeah,” before leaving.
“What’s wrong with Zion? He’s throwing a childish tantrum for no reason! Now look, his wife has run o
run off!” Charlie said in frustration.
Lyra, however, sensed something was off: “Could it be that… Zion thinks Maeve is meeting up with Sergio?”
“Meeting up with Sergio? They’re enemies. What could they possibly have to talk about?”
Lyca replied, “Relationships are complicated. Maybe Mavy’s going to put an end to things with Sergio this time.”
“Come on, if Sergio doesn’t sign the divorce papers, do you really think Ms. Scott can get divorced? He’s Sergio, not some random guy off the street!”
Charlie continued, “I don’t know what Sergio’s thinking. When his wife was by his side, he went out looking for mistresses. Now that he has a mistress, he still won’t let go of his wife. And he’s pretending to be some hero! Zee’s a rare gem compared to Sergiol”
Lyra rolled her eyes and said, “I think they’re both equally bad. Has the issue with Serena been resolved?”
