Chapter 15
Maeve knew that Sergio was just acting in front of Hailey. After all, Hailey had single-handedly raised him after his parents' early death. So, Sergio was still very respectful and loyal toward her. Maeve didn't expose him and instead cooperated with Sergio in the act at the appropriate times.
"What are your plans for that piece of land?" Hailey suddenly asked. However, she wasn't asking Maeve; she was asking Sergio. Sergio glanced at Maeve through the rearview mirror and said, "Maeve was the one who purchased it. She should handle it herself."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hailey looked at Maeve and said, "Let Sergio handle the land instead. The most important thing for you now is to be a good wife and mother."
"Mrs. Brooks Senior, matters concerning the Brooks family are, of course, handled by Sergio. However, I've purchased the land on behalf of the elders of the Scott family. They don't have to go through me if they're planning to use it," Maeve replied.
Hailey's tone changed after hearing Maeve's response, "You should stay out of such matters in the future. You're now married to Sergio after all, and all of your actions represent the Brooks family." "I understand, Mrs. Brooks Senior," Maeve agreed respectfully.
Maeve knew Hailey's temperament very well. It would only bring trouble if Hailey finds out that she's planning to start her own career.
"Sergio, I have a poker card game tonight. Put aside your work and send Maeve home later. Your priority now is to take good care of your wife," Halley told Sergio while hinting at something else. Sergio frowned but didn't show much dissatisfaction. "Got it, Grandma," he replied.
Marve looked at Sergio's eyes in the rearview mirror and knew that Sergio must have shifted the blame onto her again. It was frustrating, but she had to swallow it in for now. Marve took a deep breath and forced herself to accept the situation. It doesn't matter if Sergio blames her now. The sooner they divorce, the better.
Maeve had initially planned to visit the Scott Group during the day, but Hailey dragged her around the mall all day and she finally allowed Mave to go home by the time it got dark.
Maeve and Sergio remained silent in the car.
"I won't
won't be coming back tonight as there's still work to be done at the company," Sergio said.
"Since when were you back?" Maeve asked casually, and Sergio choked up.
Aside from the ten billion incident a few days ago, Sergio hadn't been back to spend the night. She could finally live peacefully.
As the car pulled up outside the Brooks Manor, Maeve's expression turned sour when she noticed a pile of shopping bags in the trunk. Hailey was indeed cunning, she bought lots of stuff knowing that Sergio might not want to accompany her home. She definitely couldn't carry them all by herself
Maeve glanced at Sergio who was still in the car. "Sergio, can you lend a hand?"
Sergio rubbed his temples. He should have thrown Maeve out of the car halfway! Sergio exited the car and carried five or six shopping bags mihillig på joke followed behind him. Sergio then froze as soon as he opened the front door
Marve was left stranded outside, and she asked in confusion, "Hey! Serpiol Aren't you going in?"
