After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 915

Sidney glanced down at Maria in his arms.

Her eyes were closed, and a soft blush still colored her cheeks, her expression one of complete satisfaction.

The hint of seduction lingered in the curve of her lips, which were now swollen from their earlier kiss.

His breath deepened as he recalled what had just happened in the car. Tightening his hold on her, he strode purposefully toward the apartment building.

Maria remained still, enjoying the warmth of his embrace.

The corners of her lips tugged upward in a subtle smile.

When they reached her door, Sidney said, "Unlock the door."

Maria, half-asleep, lazily lifted her hand from under the jacket and pressed her fingerprint to the lock.

The door clicked open.

Sidney shook his head with a trace of amusement. "Still too weak to do anything?"

Maria nestled closer into his chest, murmuring, "Mmhmm."

"Not even enough strength to open the door?" Sidney asked, his tone teasing.

She chuckled softly. "Maybe just enough for that."

She reached out and pushed the door open, and Sidney carried her inside.

He set her down gently on the bed and turned to leave.

But Maria quickly hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him back, and even leaned in to press a soft kiss to the corner of his lips.

"I’ll think about your offer," she whispered, her voice playful yet serious.

Sidney stared at her for a long moment before finally asking, "Can I go now?"

Maria gazed into his eyes, studying him, before reluctantly releasing her hold. "I’m hungry."

Sidney didn’t respond, simply walking out of the bedroom and closing the door behind him.

Maria closed her eyes again. He probably didn’t have the patience for her anymore. He’d likely left by now.

Such a cold, heartless man.

Just as she was drifting off, the door creaked open again. Sidney stood in the doorway, his voice calm.
