As the two of them stepped out of the bridal shop, a warm breeze blew past, carrying with it a hint of stifling heat. Maria squinted slightly, a faint smile lingering on her lips."Mary!" Suddenly, a voice called out from across the street.Maria's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a coldness in her eyes. On such a perfect day, someone just had to come and spoil it—what bad luck."Let’s go," she said, not bothering to glance at the person calling her. Instead, she gripped Sidney’s hand and walked toward the car parked nearby.Sidney sensed her shift in mood and asked, "What’s wrong?"Maria replied, "I’m tired. I just want to go home and rest."Sidney nodded, opening the car door for her. He then drove in the direction of her place."Mary!" Tracy called out several times, but Maria didn’t even look in her direction. Frustrated, Tracy hurried across the street only to be left standing in a cloud of exhaust as the car drove away, leaving her fuming."Ungrateful brat!" she muttered

As evening fell, Maria slowly woke up. A soft, muted glow filled the room, and for a moment, she felt a bit disoriented. Just then, she noticed an added weight on her. Looking down, she saw Sidney’s arm draped over her.Turning her head, she found him still asleep, his breathing calm and steady, his body pressed close to hers.In the dim light, Maria quietly watched him for a while, a soft smile gradually forming on her lips. She thought, perhaps her decision had been the right one after all. Marriage wasn’t so bad.She didn’t move, just lay there watching him for a few more moments. Though she couldn’t fall back asleep, she didn’t want to wake him either.As dusk settled in and the room darkened, Sidney began to stir. He turned over, but his arm remained around her."Are you awake?" Maria asked."Yeah," Sidney responded softly, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "Hungry?"Maria replied, "A little. We’ve got dinner plans tonight. We can head straight there."Sidney nodded. "Alright."Maria

After thinking it over, Tiana decided to drop the idea. Just then, the food began to arrive.“Let’s dig in! The food here is really good. Maria and I used to come here all the time,” Tiana said cheerfully.With that, the conversation shifted, and everyone started eating.At one point, Maria excused herself to use the restroom. As she stepped out, she bumped into Herman at the doorway. He was on the phone, his voice calm and measured, speaking with patience—clearly talking to a woman on the other end.To be fair, Herman was an impressive man. He was kind, successful, and undeniably handsome—anyone could easily be drawn to him. But someone else had already claimed Maria’s heart.With a faint smile, Maria approached just as Herman ended the call."I didn’t expect you to get married so quickly," he said, breaking the silence.Maria replied, "That’s just how I am. When I decide on something, I go for it. I follow my heart.""That’s a good way to live," Herman remarked. "You seem happy and

Maria gazed at Sidney’s face, suddenly laughing softly before leaning in to kiss the corner of his lips."Sidney, I didn’t realize you were like this."Her kiss deepened the intensity in his eyes as he asked, "Like what?""Very easy to please," Maria replied with a teasing smile.He wasn’t demanding—just because she was his wife, he didn’t let anyone’s provocations affect him.Sidney held her gaze for a long moment without saying anything.She had misunderstood.He wasn’t a man easily satisfied. In fact, it was quite the opposite—he wanted much more. But for now, in front of her, he kept those desires in check. What if he pushed too far and things backfired? He would never forgive himself.So, he would take his time. They were married now, and they had all the time in the world.As they stepped out of the car and headed towards the elevator, two people suddenly rushed forward, blocking their way.Maria’s smile vanished instantly when she saw Gorden and Tracy.They had somehow snuck

Gorden and Tracy exchanged a glance. Now that their true intentions had been exposed, there was no need to keep pretending.Gorden’s expression hardened as he spoke bluntly, "Since you already know, it’s simple—you, as the older sister, should help your brother. Give us sixty thousand dollars to pay his debt, and we won’t make a fuss about you not taking care of us."Maria burst out laughing as if she’d just heard the punchline of a great joke. She turned to Sidney, "Isn’t this hilarious? They abandoned me at an orphanage because I was a girl, and now they come crawling back asking for money."Sidney’s face grew cold as he listened. He hadn’t known about Maria’s past, and hearing it now left him angry on her behalf. After a moment’s pause, he said, "We can call the police. You can report them for abandonment."Maria blinked in surprise. "Why didn’t I think of that? Let’s do it.""Alright," Sidney responded, pulling out his phone and swiftly calling the police.Gorden hadn’t expected

"Now?" Maria asked, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness.Sidney raised an eyebrow in surprise. She was nervous?Seeing her reaction brought a sudden sense of excitement to his heart. "You’ve met my mom before. You know she’s a kind person. She’ll treat you really well.""I know." Maria nodded. She was well aware that Ruth was warm and gentle, always smiling when they spoke. She enjoyed talking with her and always felt a comforting warmth in her presence, though she couldn’t quite put it into words.But that was then. Now, things were different. Her role had changed, and with it came new anxieties."I think I need to prepare myself," Maria admitted.Sidney nodded with understanding. "That’s fine. We’re not in a rush. We have plenty of time."Maria let out a small sigh of relief.When they got home, the day’s events had left her feeling drained. After a relaxing shower, she lay down, her mind swirling with a mix of thoughts. Sidney climbed into bed, wrapping his arms around he

That evening, when Sidney came home, Maria shared the news with him.Sidney was stunned! After all, there had been some tension between him and Lucas in the past, especially due to the somewhat complicated relationship he had with Aveline. Sidney never expected Lucas to give them such a generous wedding gift—it was completely unexpected.But Maria was thrilled. "It’s a gift from the boss; we have to accept it. Are you off tomorrow? Let’s go check out the house."If they liked it, they could move in right away. If not, they could always sell it and find something else."Sure," Sidney agreed, pushing aside his mixed thoughts.That night, neither of them got much rest. By the time they left the house the next day, it was nearly noon.When they arrived at the gated villa community, the security measures were extremely strict. The guards required registration, and they even needed to input their identity information.Maria appreciated this level of security.Sitting in the car, she sugge

Diana left the hospital and went to a small shop across from the hospital entrance. She ordered a plate of pasta but barely touched it.As the sky darkened, Sidney and Maria finally emerged after spending almost two hours inside. Seeing them, Diana immediately stood up, ready to move at any moment. Her eyes, filled with jealousy, turned red as she stared at Sidney and Maria. The way she looked at Sidney was filled with bitterness and pain. That man was truly despicable!It seemed like Sidney said something to Maria before walking off into the distance. Diana’s eyes lit up at the sight and she quickly ran over, grabbing Maria's hand and pulling her in the opposite direction.Caught off guard, Maria stumbled slightly, nearly falling. Seeing who it was, Maria furrowed her brows and forcefully yanked her hand free."What are you doing?"Diana looked at her. "I have something to tell you about Sidney. Do you want to hear it?"Maria replied, "Then just say it. Why are you pulling me?"Dia

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
