Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

Lyra tugged at Maeve’s hand, appearing concerned about her returning to Brooks Manor. 

Maeve said, “I’ll be heading back tomorrow night.” 

“I’ll be waiting for you at home.” 

“Alright.” 

As Maeve prepared to leave, Sheldon handed a piece of cake to her. “Taking your wonderful gift and 

blessings into account, the first slice of cake on my birthday naturally belongs to you.” 

Maeve took the cake. “Thank you.” 

Watching Maeve’s departing figure, Sheldon opened the gift box and found a watch inside. A look of joy crossed his face as he carefully put it on his wrist. 

Maeve followed Larry out of the Hackett Manor. 

Larry said, “Madam, why not reconcile with Mr. Brooks? Mr. Brooks has been deeply concerned about your 

these past few days.” 

“He’s concerned about me?” Maeve felt like she had just heard a joke. “He should be more concerned 

about Clara, who’s currently rotting away in prison.” 

Levi had already made arrangements with the prison staff. Even though Clara would only be locked up for a few days, she wouldn’t have an easy time there. Things had escalated to this point because Clara’s 

actions had backfired on herself. 

Larry departed when they arrived at the Brooks Manor. Maeve pushed open the door and found the room. enveloped in darkness. She furrowed her brows, preparing to turn on the lights. 

But before she could reach the switch, someone pressed her against the wall. Maeve was startled and 

Instinctively elbowed the person. 

A muffled groan came in response. Sergio coughed. “It’s me.” 

Maeve couldn’t see Sergio’s expression in the darkness, but she could a tone of resentment in his voice. She quickly turned on the lights, causing Sergio to squint from the sudden brightness. 

Maeve took a step back, maintaining a safe distance from him. “You called me back tonight, what’s the 

matter?” 

Sergio had been summoning her back through Larry almost every other day. It was unusual for him to be 

so persistent in wanting her presence. 

“You’ve been staying at the Hackett Manor?” Sergio asked. 

“Yes,” Maeve replied bluntly, getting straight to the point. “Why? Didn’t your people inform you?”

Sergio was speechless. It was indeed his arrangement to have people watching har, no he had no rebuttal. 

“I don’t like being watched. You have no right to keep tabs on me. Our relationship is purely a business alliance, devoid of any emotions.” 

Sergio’s voice carried a hint of anger. “Devold of any emotiona? Wasn’t it you who liked me in the beginning? You insisted on marrying me and used the Scott family’s leverage to tie the knot, didn’t you?”
