Semua Bab After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: Bab 901 - Bab 910

"Oh?" Maria's face showed a faint smirk as she looked at Sidney's cold expression. With a curious tone, she asked, "How exactly do you plan to make me regret it?”Sidney tightened his grip on her wrist, his eyes locking onto hers as he said, "You care a lot about Lucas, don’t you?""What do you mean by that?" Maria looked at him with genuine curiosity.She really wanted to know—what else could he do?But instead of answering, Sidney loosened his hold on her wrist. Without further explanation, he simply said, "Take care. I won’t be seeing you out."With that, he turned and headed back to the hospital room.Maria watched his retreating figure, the interest in her eyes deepening. What did he mean by that?...Back in the hospital room, Ruth glanced at Sidney’s expression and suddenly asked, "So, tell me, why did you quit your job?"Not wanting to worry his mother, Sidney didn’t explain the complicated matters and instead came up with a quick excuse. "I want to focus on my studies. The w

"Ah?" Maria was momentarily stunned. "What did I do?"A sudden feeling of unease crept into her. Why was Lucas suddenly interrogating her?She quickly ran through her recent actions in her mind. She'd been playing it safe, behaving like a model employee—completely well-behaved.So why was Lucas asking this?Wait...The only thing she’d been involved in lately was messing with Sidney. Could it be... he had gone to Lucas to complain?Maria narrowed her eyes, remaining silent for a moment.Lucas' tone grew even colder. "Maria, cut it out. If I hear any more rumors, you're heading straight to the Delta, and you won’t be coming back!"With that, Lucas hung up the phone.A chill ran down Maria’s spine. Lucas was angry—really angry.And that meant serious consequences.The Delta... a hell on earth. She thought of Brian, who was already there, living a life worse than death.But why was Lucas so furious all of a sudden?What exactly had Sidney told him?Maria held her phone tightly, deep in

As Sidney’s figure grew smaller in the distance, the ache in Maria’s chest deepened. She felt a bit dazed.How could this be happening?Why did watching him walk away hurt so much?It wasn’t supposed to be like this. From the very beginning, her intentions toward him had never been pure. She wasn’t supposed to develop feelings for him.Yet, the memory of his cold, disdainful eyes and his indifferent attitude tore at her heart.Maria turned around, tilting her head back slightly and closing her eyes as she tried to regain her composure. Once she’d steadied herself, she got back into her car.If it wasn’t meant to be, it was time to cut her losses.After all, she’d only intended to play around from the start. If Sidney wasn’t going to cooperate, then there was no point in continuing....Fawn, who had been watching the scene unfold, noticed when Maria drove off. "She’s gone."Sidney looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you, Miss Powell."Fawn chuckled. "No problem! I even got to hear

Sidney spoke up, "Miss Powell, since you're awake now, I'll head out."Fawn suddenly said, "Let’s get married.""What?" Sidney froze, staring at her in disbelief.Fawn had sat up, her hands braced behind her, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes were filled with sincerity. "I’m not joking. I’m serious. Everything I said before is true—my parents want to marry me off for business. The guy’s an old man, and his son’s older than me. I don’t want to marry him, but my parents won’t listen. They’ll do whatever they can to force me into this. I need to find a way out of this mess."She laughed bitterly as she spoke, her voice full of self-mockery. "I thought I could live a carefree life, that I was the princess in my parents' eyes. But it turns out, I’m just a tool. The moment the family ran into trouble, their first thought was to use me to trade for their benefit."As the alcohol fueled her emotions, Fawn’s large eyes filled with tears, and soon they began streaming down her cheeks.She wiped

Aveline was surprised—she hadn’t expected Maria to actually fall for Sidney. If that was the case, things were about to get complicated. Sidney knew Maria’s true intentions from the start, which meant he was likely guarded and resentful toward her. If Maria hadn’t developed feelings, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but now that she had...What was she going to do?After a moment of contemplation, Aveline asked, "What do you plan to do next?"Maria sighed. "I’m not sure. I’ve been wondering if I should try to be with him. But it feels like such a long and difficult path ahead, and I don’t know if I have the endurance to see it through."Maria was someone who hated complications. That was why, unlike Brian and the others who practiced martial arts, she had only pursued her expertise in computers. Learning to fight seemed like too much hassle. Pursuing Sidney, with all the challenges it entailed, felt equally daunting.What was she supposed to do?Aveline’s voice softened. "Maybe you need t
