Maria had been lost in thought for a while, and when she snapped back to the moment, the room had gone silent. Puzzled, she glanced over at Sidney. "Hm? Why did you stop talking?""I’m done," Sidney replied, his tone cool."Oh." Maria nodded, handing the tablet back to him. "Got it. You did great. Keep up the hard work."She even flashed him a harmless smile, then casually stood up. "I'm going to dry my hair. Feel free to see yourself out," she said, grabbing her hairdryer from the drawer and standing off to the side as she began drying her hair.Her arm lifted, exposing the soft curve of her waist, while her long hair cascaded down, filling the air with a faint scent. Sidney’s fingers twitched, his gaze fixed on her back for a long moment.Maria wasn’t paying attention to whether Sidney stayed or left. He clearly wasn’t interested in her, and she had shown him that she knew about his intention.Continuing to dry her hair, she assumed he would take the hint and leave.But after on

However, she didn’t notice the brief coldness that flickered in Sidney’s eyes.…When Maria woke up, it was already midday. She struggled to sit up, her body sore and tired. Memories of the night before rushed back to her, leaving her momentarily dazed as she sat on the bed. Turning her head, she spotted her phone—and next to it, a bottle of water and a small packet of birth control pills.Maria stared at the packet for a moment before taking a pill and swallowing it. When she walked out of the bedroom, she was surprised to see Sidney still there, cooking in the kitchen."You're still here?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe.Sidney glanced at her briefly, then returned to the stove. "I’ll leave after you eat."She watched his busy movements. "Last night..."Her words trailed off, and he didn’t seem inclined to pick up the conversation either. It was as if last night had been just a fleeting moment of indulgence, something acted on a whim with no strings attached. No need fo

"Hello?" Maria answered the phone, hearing Tiana's voice on the other end."My dear, from the sound of your voice, it seems like you just woke up. Want to go out and have some fun?"Maria stepped out of her room, glancing at the spotless kitchen. Feeling even more pleased, she asked, "Where are we going?"Tiana replied, "My brother’s friend opened a vineyard. We can experience immersive grape-picking. Want to join?"Maria laughed. "Immersive grape-picking? Can we turn the grapes into wine right after?""If you want, I think that can be arranged," Tiana said."Alright."Maria thought for a moment. Since she had nothing else to do, she agreed."Great! We’re leaving tomorrow morning. I’ll send you the address. Everyone’s meeting there," Tiana informed her."Okay," Maria replied.Tiana let out a mischievous giggle.Maria switched to speakerphone, continuing her meal as she said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop being so sneaky."Tiana cleared her throat and asked, "Yesterd

Tiana’s eyes lit up at the mention of horseback riding, "We can ride horses?"She turned to Maria and asked, "Do you know how to ride?"Maria shook her head. "No, I don’t."A hint of disappointment appeared on Tiana’s face. "If you don’t know how to ride, it wouldn’t be fun for me to go alone."Maria said, "There are others here, though."Tiana waved her hand dismissively. "Nah, I don’t want to go already."Maria sighed. Alright, if that was what she wanted.Herman, also looking a bit helpless, shifted his gaze to Maria and said, "If you’re interested in learning, I could teach you how to ride."Tiana immediately perked up at that, grabbing Maria’s arm excitedly. "Are you interested? I really want to go horseback riding."Maria gave her a knowing look. It wasn’t hard to see what she was really up to."We’ll head to the vineyard first," Maria suggested. "There’s plenty of time. Who knows, maybe later I’ll want to try riding.""Good idea, vineyard first."Tiana nodded and shot Herman a

Sidney and Diana, along with a few others, were seated at a nearby table, eating. Sidney was sitting sideways, facing away from Maria, so while she noticed him instantly, he hadn’t spotted her.Maria quickly averted her gaze after a brief glance."Let’s sit over there," Tiana said, linking arms with Maria and leading her toward a window seat.Coincidentally, the spot was diagonally across from Sidney’s table.Maria nodded and followed. Once seated, Tiana quickly pulled Herman over to sit next to Maria.Whether by coincidence or design, Herman’s presence perfectly blocked Sidney’s view. Even if he turned to look, it was unlikely he would notice Maria.Maria’s eyes flickered briefly, but she didn’t say a word.Tiana took the seat opposite them and waved for a waiter. This place offered both a buffet and table service.Tiana ordered a few dishes and then turned to Maria. "What would you like?""I’ll take a look at the menu," Maria replied."Alright."Tiana handed her the menu, then immed

"You... what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever do this on purpose?" Diana retorted angrily.Maria replied coolly, "Oh, so it wasn’t intentional? Then you bumped into me and didn’t even apologize? That’s just bad manners.""You!" Diana was stunned, not expecting this woman to be so sharp-tongued. She had no idea how to respond.Maria crossed her arms and said, "Well? Still not going to apologize? This dress isn’t cheap, you know."The champagne had spread over her dress, and Diana recognized it as a new luxury brand piece, worth thousands. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to pay for it but spending that much on a dress seemed unreasonable to her.Just as Diana tightened her grip on her glass, about to say something, a figure approached her and asked, "What’s going on here?"Diana turned to see Sidney. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she spoke in a pitiful tone, "I was just walking by, and this lady suddenly stood up. The champagne accidentally spilled on her dress, but sh

Diana froze mid-sob. "You’re friends with her, of course, you’re siding with her," she said, voice filled with grievance.Herman finally spoke up, "I heard what you said too. This restaurant has good surveillance, and the audio quality is pretty clear. Want to check the footage?"At his words, Diana’s face turned pale."You... you’re all bullying me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face as she let out a shout and ran off, wiping her face as she went, like she’d been wronged in the worst possible way.Tiana watched her go in disgust. "She’s the one who bumped into someone and spilled champagne all over them, and now she’s the one crying?"Maria’s cold eyes followed Diana’s retreating figure before shifting to Sidney. "It seems you two are quite close. Are you going to cover her compensation too?"Sidney’s dark gaze locked onto Maria’s, and after a moment, he nodded. "Fine."Maria’s lips curved into a smile, but the coldness in her eyes only deepened.Suddenly, Sidney leaned in clo

Sidney had texted, "She’s not my girlfriend."Maria shut off her phone without replying and went to change her clothes."Does it even matter?" she muttered to herself.He had defended that girl in public, and it had irritated her. Now, with this half-hearted explanation afterward, it felt completely unnecessary."If she’s not your girlfriend, then why step in?" she thought. He even apologized on her behalf, acting like they were close—what was the deal with that? The whole thing left Maria feeling restless and annoyed. She opened a bottle of wine and began drinking straight from it.With an empty stomach and no food to cushion the alcohol, it didn’t take long for her to feel a dull ache creeping through her stomach. Sitting on the couch, her gaze drifted into the distance, her thoughts swirling.Looking back, she realized how happy she had been before Sidney entered her life. She had gone wherever she wanted and done whatever she felt like doing. When she was in a bad mood, she’d b

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1139
It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s
