After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 921

The next morning.

Sunlight peeked into the room as Maria groggily opened her eyes, only to realize she was clinging to Sidney like an octopus.

The memories of last night came rushing back like a tide.

A cold glint flickered in her eyes as she turned onto her back.

Sidney stirred, glanced at her, and said, "Last night..."

Maria cut him off, "Last night, someone deliberately set me up."

Sidney nodded. "I’ll help you."

Maria’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she suddenly asked, "Why?"

"What?" Sidney looked momentarily taken aback.

Maria fixed her gaze on him, her expression serious and clear. "Why did you stay last night? And now, why are you offering to help me?"

Sidney’s face tightened.

After a brief pause, he finally said, "You didn’t let me leave last night."

Maria blinked, then unexpectedly laughed. She sat up swiftly, straddling his waist.

"Sidney, you’re lying."

Her fingers traced lightly over his chest. "Last night, I told you to stop. So why didn’t you let me go?"

At that moment, they were both completely bare, and her bold movement caused the covers to slip, revealing her pale skin.

The red marks scattered across her body stood out like blooming crimson flowers, rising and falling with each breath.

Sidney’s breath hitched, his eyes instinctively catching a glimpse of her exposed skin.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he muttered, "I wasn’t lying."

Maria clearly noticed the change in him, and she leaned forward slightly, brushing against him teasingly, her touch both light and suggestive.

Sidney squeezed his eyes shut tightly. "Get off."

But Maria didn’t budge. Her nose brushed along his cheek as she whispered, "Is it really so hard to admit you like me?"

Sidney remained silent, his mind a mess, just as it had been since last night.

He couldn't explain why.

The room was quiet for a long while. When Maria saw he wasn’t responding, her interest in continuing suddenly evaporated.
