Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 

Sergio quickly withdrew his hand as Maeve seemed on the verge of passing out. 

“Cough, cough!” Maeve coughed twice, her face still flushed, and it took her a while to recover. 

“Maeve, I…” Sergio wanted to reach out and touch the red marks on Maeve’s 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 couldn’t suppress a self–deprecating smile. The idea of sharing a roof with a man who tried to kill her was sickening. 

“Maeve!” Sergio’s voice sounded from behind, but Maeve continued walking upstairs. She didn’t 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 hadn’t slept all night. 

With a few daily essentials packed, Maeve prepared to head back to the apartment early. 

As she came down, Sergio’s nerves immediately tensed. He blocked Maeve’s path, appearing somewhat disheveled and weary. He softened his tone and asked, “Where are you going?” 

“Back to the apartment,” Maeve replied, her expression cold. 

Sergio grabbed Marve’s wrist and hesitated before slowing saying, “Don’t leave today. Last night’s incident caused quite a stir, so I’m worried grandma will come and ask about it.” 

Maeve shook off Sergio’s hand. She thought Sergio wanted to apologize for last night’s incident, but she didn’t expect him to still be worried about Clara getting hurt. 

“This man is beyond redemption,” she thought to herself. 

“It has nothing to do with me. Just tell her the truth,” Maeve said firmly. She had intended to stay today, but yesterday’s incident made her eager to leave. 

Sergio held onto Maeve’s luggage and said, “Don’t you want to keep grandma from finding out that you’re studying at Amenam University?” Maeve detected the underlying threat in Sergio’s single sentence. As expected, he was willing to do anything for Clara’s sake. 

“It doesn’t matter. I can divorce you,” Maeve declared firmly. 

Sergio was caught off guard by Maeve’s 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 couldn’t understand why he had lost control of his emotions last night. He was usually composed, but Maeve’s 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, Sergio’s phone rang, and he answered wearily, “What’s the matter?”
