Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 421

"But it's not too late now," Zion said with his eyes brimming with gentle affection.

To the outside world, Zion cut a malicious and fearsome figure. He struck dread into everyone who crossed his path.

But to Maeve, Zion was always a quiet, occasionally mischievous, and unconventional man. This side of him was endearing and far from frightening.

"Wait here for a moment," Zion said before heading downstairs.

He returned soon after with a plate of dessert—a cake with cherry jam filling. The sight of someone as serious as Zion making a heart-shaped dessert warmed Maeve's heart.

"Try it," he encouraged.

Maeve took a small bite. The cake had a sweet and tangy cherry flavor, with the sourness enhancing the lingering sweetness.

"You missed your calling as a chef," Maeve remarked.

"I used to be a chef."

"I remember you mentioning you were a barber too."

"That's right."

"Can you tell me more about your past?" Maeve's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Sure," Zion agreed.
