Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 418

When Maeve woke up, the scent of the sea breeze enveloped her senses. At first, she thought she was still dreaming. But as she groggily opened her eyes, she was greeted by a breathtaking sunset spreading its colors across the sky.

She found herself on a luxurious cruise ship. The view outside her window was stunning as the sun had already dipped below the horizon, casting a captivating twilight.

"Have we arrived? When did we get here?" Maeve asked, still adjusting to the scene.

The cruise ship seemed empty except for Maeve and Zion.

Maeve spotted Zion in the kitchen, cleaning knives and tidying up. She also caught the mouthwatering aroma of grilled meat drifting through the air.

"We've been here for a while. You were sleeping so soundly, and I didn't want to disturb you," Zion said.

It was then that Maeve realized she was lying in a spacious bed. As she sat up, Zion gently draped a blanket over her shoulders.

"The sea breeze can be chilly this time of year, but the view makes up for it," he remarked.

With the ship's heating keeping her warm, Maeve basked in the sunset's warm glow.

"Did you bring me here to celebrate my birthday?" Maeve asked directly.

Zion took a step back and courteously bowed. "Ms. Scott, may I have the honor of dining with you?"

"Since we're already here, it'd be rude not to," Maeve replied with a smile and placed her hand on Zion's.

Zion smiled faintly and seated Maeve at one end of a long table. He proceeded to serve a perfectly cooked steak, freshly baked bread, appetizers, and mushroom soup from the warming oven.

He also prepared vintage candlesticks with white candles that added a romantic touch to the setting.

"A candlelight dinner?" Maeve asked.
