After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 898
The proposal was over, and that same night, Maria and Sidney returned to Cloudflare City.Maria lived in a cozy and beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment in the Waterfront District. As they arrived at the door, she turned to look at Sidney, her pretty eyes holding a teasing emotion."It's so late. Do you want to come in and rest?"Sidney’s handsome face showed signs of fatigue, and he directly refused, "I'm tired. I want to go home and get some proper rest."Maria chuckled softly, reaching out and slowly sliding her finger down his chest. Under her touch, she could feel his muscles tensing slightly."Do you think I’m inviting you in for something else? You’re overthinking it. I just want you to rest here."As her words fell, she stepped closer to Sidney, slightly tilting her head up, her crimson lips curving into a seductive smile."Of course, if you're up for something more exciting, I wouldn’t mind either."Sidney immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her from moving further.

At night, Sidney sent out numerous résumés. His abilities were exceptional, and his designs were innovative. During his time at Maria's studio, he had only collaborated with Aveline on one project; after that, he worked independently.He was confident he could find a good company.However, three days passed, and there wasn't a single response.On the seventh day, he finally received a reply and was invited for an afternoon interview. But when he arrived, he was informed that the position had already been filled.Sidney stood at the bus stop, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his entire appearance clean and handsome. He stared at the cold message on his phone, his eyes reflected in the screen with a hint of chill.He had a pretty good idea of what was happening.Recalling Maria’s ambiguous smile, he took a deep breath.Forget it.He’d find something else and try again later.…In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.Maria had been waiting for Sidney to come back to her, but

"You think I'm being unreasonable?" Maria asked, her expression full of mock surprise. "Do you really think I would falsely accuse you?"The manager, seeing Sidney’s lack of an apology and his confrontational attitude, quickly intervened. "You better apologize to the customer right now, then take her to the hospital for a check-up. If anything happens to the guest, you'll be held responsible!"Sidney’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Maria, noticing the faint smile of amusement in her eyes.Of course.She wanted to see him crushed, to have control over him, and eventually forced to bow to her will. This was all just a game to her.If, in the beginning, Maria had approached Sidney to complete Lucas' task, now, she was simply driven by the desire to see him broken."Fine, then call the police. There are security cameras from the kitchen to the dining area. I didn’t do it, and I stand by that." Sidney’s tone grew calm and cold. He pulled out his phone and was about to dial the authoriti

Maria sat on the side, watching him with a faint smile.Sidney couldn’t reveal his true feelings just yet. He hesitated before saying, "I've already eaten."Ruth’s expression became more complicated upon hearing this. "But there's so much food. It’d be such a waste to throw it away."Maria chuckled and said, "Ma'am, it's my fault for not considering your health. It really would be a waste to throw the food away, so I'll just take it home with me."Ruth gave a helpless smile. "Sidney worries too much about me. I'm already this old; what’s wrong with eating something good? Frankly, how many more days do I even have left to enjoy it?"Sidney immediately frowned. "Mom, don’t say that.""Alright, alright, I know," Ruth quickly responded, noticing he was about to get upset.Sidney placed the light dishes on the small table and watched his mother eat.Maria watched him with interest, her gaze circling around Sidney as if she was amused by something."Ma'am, it’s getting late. I’ll head home

"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

Sidney gave her a deep look before turning around and heading into the back. Moments later, he returned, his work uniform removed, and without a word, he took hold of Maria’s hand, leading her out of the coffee house.Maria glanced at his fingers, her gaze shifting to his face as she asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?""We’re going to the hospital," Sidney replied.He didn’t believe a word she said, so he wanted to take her to get a proper check-up. If she was truly pregnant, then they could discuss what to do about the baby.Maria’s smile deepened. Suddenly, she pulled her hand away, still smiling as she said, "Of course I was lying. I’m not pregnant."Sidney’s expression darkened instantly. He stepped forward, grabbing her shoulders, his voice cold as he asked, "Do you think it’s fun to mess with me like this?"The slight pain from his grip didn’t seem to bother Maria at all. She didn’t even flinch as she held her coffee, saying calmly, "Yes, it’s fun."A wave of anger surg

"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

Sidney paused for a moment before answering the call. "Hello?""Turn around," came Maria’s lazy voice from the other end of the line.Sidney followed her instruction and turned his head, spotting a car parked nearby. Maria was in the driver’s seat, waving at him to come over.Fawn, noticing his gaze shift, looked in the same direction and asked curiously, "Who’s that?"Sidney hung up the phone and turned to Fawn. After a brief pause, he said, "Miss Powell, I might need your help with something. It might be a little awkward, so if you're uncomfortable, you don’t have to."Fawn blinked her wide eyes, still confused. "What do you need help with? Tell me first."...Maria sat in the car, watching as Sidney continued chatting with the girl. Her brow slowly furrowed.“What’s going on here? Isn’t that girl his client?” she thought.What could they be talking about that was taking so long?Just as Maria was about to lose her patience, Sidney finally made his way over, with Fawn following cl

"Such a big issue has to be cleared up, don’t you think, Aaron? What if someone is deliberately trying to smear your wife’s name?" "Exactly! We’ve all met your wife—she’s beautiful and sharp. There’s no way she’d do anything to betray you.""We need to open the door and clear up any misunderstandings before things get out of hand."The crowd voiced their concerns, their words filled with feigned sympathy, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation.Kendrick arrived just behind Aaron, and upon hearing the whispers, his expression darkened."Who said this?" The servant timidly raised her hand. "I... I did."His voice hardened. "Are you sure of what you saw?"Though visibly frightened, the servant nodded firmly. "I’m sure.""I don’t think she’s lying.”"Maybe it’s true. If it is, then she really couldn’t keep herself in check, especially at Lila’s birthday party. How shameless.""Unbelievable! With a husband like Aaron, she’s still not satisfied? I can’t understand women like that."A few

"What’s going on?" Nathalie’s brow furrowed as she took in the situation. She immediately called over the servant who had been with Selena earlier. "Is Selena in that room?"The servant nodded nervously. "Yes, I helped Mrs. Fletcher into the room."Nathalie’s expression hardened. "Then why won’t the door open?"The servant’s face turned pale, her eyes darting around anxiously. She stammered, "Madam, maybe it’s best not to disturb Mrs. Fletcher. She just needs to rest, and I’m sure she’ll come out soon.""Why are you acting so suspicious?" someone nearby asked. "And why weren’t you inside taking care of her?"Nathalie narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the servant. Suddenly, her tone sharpened. "Why are you hiding something? Tell me what’s really going on!"The servant flinched under Nathalie’s gaze, her face paling even more. Trembling, she said, "Madam, I-I don’t know for sure. I was with Mrs. Fletcher, but then she asked me to leave… I didn’t go far, I was keeping an eye on things in

After speaking, the servant promptly left the suite, standing guard outside.Selena smirked, her eyes hardening with a cold glint.She stayed in the room for a while, eventually deciding to get up and leave. But as she stood, a wave of dizziness hit her out of nowhere.Frowning, Selena called out, "Come here!"The servant appeared but kept her distance. "Mrs. Fletcher, what do you need?""I don’t feel right. Go get the family doctor."The servant’s eyes flickered with something unreadable before she replied, "Of course, I’ll fetch him right away."She turned and hurried off.Selena sat at the edge of the bed, focusing on regaining her composure. She slowly made her way to the balcony, opened the doors, and breathed in the fresh air. Instantly, she felt better.That patch definitely had something off about it!"Miss Selena," a hushed voice called out.Startled, Selena turned to see Braden standing at the windowsill of the adjacent room, blending into the shadows of the night.Surprised,

Selena’s eyes fell on the pain patch, and she nodded. "Alright, go ahead."The family doctor applied the patch and gave her a few instructions before leaving.Leaning back into the sofa, Selena said, "You can leave now. I’ll rest for a bit."The servant, however, remained standing nearby. "Mrs. Fletcher, I’ll stay here just in case you need anything."Selena raised an eyebrow slightly.What was this about? Was someone sent to keep an eye on her? To stop her from leaving, perhaps?She couldn’t quite figure out the motive yet, but there was no rush. She’d adapt to the situation as needed."Fine, stay there then. Don’t go anywhere," Selena replied, before heading to the bed and lying down. She pulled out her phone and messaged Aaron.“Where are you? You missed quite a show earlier. You’d have regretted not seeing it!”Aaron replied, “Sounds like I did. Will you fill me in?”“You finally replied! Where have you been?”Aaron texted, “Stuck in a meeting with my dad at the office. Heading ba

At that moment, Nathalie spoke up as well, "It's just a dance, Selena. Don't disrespect Mr. Brooks."Her words implied that Selena was deliberately avoiding the dance.Ernest's expression had already soured.Selena glanced from one person to the next, her eyes reddening as tears welled up and began to fall."You’ve misunderstood me," she said softly, her voice trembling. "I didn’t mean it that way. Mr. Brooks and the Fletcher family have business dealings, and of course, I respect our partners. But my foot really is injured. It’s no big deal, though. “Even though tonight is Lila’s birthday party, and she should be the one dancing the opening dance, since Ernest invited me, I would still dance even if my leg was broken."She paused, looking fragile and innocent, before continuing with a hint of apology. "Mr. Brooks, I’m afraid my injured foot won’t keep up with your steps. I’m truly sorry."Playing the innocent card like a delicate girl? Selena could do that just as well. After all, wi

"Wow, Lila, you look absolutely stunning tonight!""Lila, happy birthday!""Lila, may I have this dance?"...The Fletcher family had gone all out for Lila’s birthday celebration, inviting the elite of Cloudflare City's upper class. It was clear how much importance they placed on her, and everyone in attendance understood this, treating her with great kindness and respect.Lila, with her flawless makeup and sweet smile, gracefully declined the young man who had asked her to dance. Instead, she said with a grin, "You should invite my sister-in-law to the opening dance. She’s an amazing dancer."The young man’s gaze shifted toward Selena, and his eyes lit up with admiration.Selena was dressed in a sleek black gown, simple in design but perfectly tailored to accentuate her elegant figure. Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her makeup, though subtle, highlighted her striking features. The result was a look that was less sultry and more innocent—a style that could make an

Aaron was speechless. He hadn’t expected this to be the reason behind her sudden change of heart.He gave her a teasing look and asked, "Don’t you hate Lucas? Why would you want to let our child marry his?"Selena lifted her chin defiantly. "Lucas is Lucas, and Ave is Ave. They’re not the same. I want to be even closer to Ave."Aaron smirked. "And what if both of you gave birth to children of the same genders?”Selena froze for a moment, realizing the flaw in her plan. "Oh, right… if that happens, there’s no way to arrange a marriage."Amused, Aaron looked at her. "There are plenty of ways to strengthen your bond. They could make us their child’s godparents, for one. But as for forcing an arranged marriage, let’s drop that idea. You never know what the kids will want, and they might resent us for making that decision. It’s not worth the trouble."Selena nodded, her expression thoughtful. "You’re right. Kids these days rebel against arranged marriages. It’s better to leave it to fate."

Selena rolled up her sleeves, declaring, "We can never tell who’s the real winner until the game ends. Let’s go!"Just a moment ago, she was full of confidence, but the next second, she was staring in disbelief at her loss."Seriously, Sidney? How many times have you won already? Are you done yet?"Watching Sidney win another round, Selena looked utterly defeated.Maria couldn’t hold back her laughter. "I told you, beginner’s luck! You didn’t believe me."Sidney blinked innocently, saying, "I just picked up the cards. What else could I do?"Selena groaned. "Alright, enough with the humblebragging. I give up, okay?"At this point, Aaron said, "It’s a bit early to surrender."Selena immediately turned to him. "You think you can turn this around?"A relaxed smile appeared on Aaron’s handsome face as he said, "Beginner’s luck has a time limit. Let’s keep playing."Maria looked at Sidney. "Are you up for it?"Sidney chuckled and replied, "Sure, let’s keep going for fun."Selena reignited he

"Wait a moment," Nathalie called out, stopping them.Aaron and Selena turned to look at her. Aaron asked, "What is it?"Nathalie, clearly annoyed, said, "You’ve barely been here and you're already leaving? You spent most of the time glued to your wife. Did you come to see me or not?"Aaron replied, "I’m married now. If I spent most of my time glued to you instead, my dad would kill me."Nathalie was left speechless for a moment before she said, "In three days, I’m hosting a birthday party for Lila. As her brother and sister-in-law, you two must attend. You mustn’t be late, and definitely no leaving early. Got it?"Selena glanced at Aaron.Nathalie continued, "Selena, as Lila’s sister-in-law, I expect you to come early and help me receive the guests."It was a direct request, leaving no room for refusal.Selena raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded. "Of course, Mom."Nathalie frowned, somewhat impatient but said nothing more. Instead, she turned to Aaron. "Did you hear me?"Aaron ga
