After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 935

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 only a couple of minutes, she felt his hand gently wrap around hers, stopping the dryer mid-air.

Maria turned, confused. "What are you doing?"

Standing behind her, Sidney looked down, meeting her puzzled gaze. "I'll help you."

Maria chuckled. "It’s late, aren’t you going to head out?"

"Drying your hair won’t take long," he said evenly.

"Alright then." She let go of the dryer and stood still, letting him take over.

Sidney switched the dryer back on, his fingers gliding through her hair as he dried it.

The warm breeze from the dryer, paired with the gentle movement of his hands through her hair, made the moment unexpectedly calming. Maria’s eyes fluttered half-closed, her face relaxed in quiet contentment.

Soon, her hair was dry, and Sidney turned off the dryer, setting it down on the table in front of them.
