Fall for You After Divorce novel (Brianna and Maxim) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Briana frowned and looked at him with an agitated expression. “Maxim, can you stop pestering me? It was my fault to marry you without your consent, but I’ve helped you heal your legs. These three years I’ve been loyal to you. Now I want to live my own life. Isn’t that too much?”

Maxim’s pupils shrank. It took several seconds before he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve said it several times. I won’t divorce you!

“I have checked it out. You were not with Hector those few days. I know where you went and how you got the 8 million dollars. If you don’t want me to continue the investigation, go back to the villa with me right now.”

Briana’s hands tightened. She struggled and shook off his hand. She got into the car on her own.

On the way back, neither of them said anything.

Briana was quite agitated. She didn’t understand what Maxim was up to.

Wasn’t he supposed to rush to get the divorce certificate?

Neither of them was happy without the divorce.

Back at the villa, Briana went straight upstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, Maxim’s voice sounded from behind.

“The day after tomorrow is your grandfather’s birthday. I bought a pair of antique vases a while ago. How about taking those pair of vases as his birthday gift?”

Briana tilted her head and looked at him indifferently, “You can do whatever you want. Don’t ask me about this kind of thing.”

Maxim frowned. “He is your grandfather. You…”

“So what?”

A trace of sarcasm appeared in Briana’s eyes. “We’re blood-related. That’s all.”

No one in the Schneider family ever regarded her as a family member. Nor did she have the hobby of pleasing them.

“Anyway, let’s go together to his birthday party.”

“Got it.”

After saying the two words coldly, Briana went upstairs.

Maxim stared at her back. His eyes were cold and deep. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Back in the room, Briana was about to order a takeaway when she received a call from Melody.

“Briana, I forgot to tell you something today. Maxim wants to see you.”

Surprise flashed in Briana’s eyes. She frowned and said, “For the acquisition of MY Corporation?”

“Well, the Yoder Group planned to acquire MY Corporation a month ago. They talked to me several times, but I never agreed. I guess he knew you were back and wanted to talk to you in person.

“To be honest, the price they offered is fair. If you didn’t come back, maybe those old bastards have sold MY Corporation and started counting the money.”

Not hearing Briana’s answer, Melody continued, “If you don’t want to see Maxim, I can cancel the meeting.”

Briana kept silent for two seconds. She said in a low voice, “It’s okay. You can send me the time and place. I’m going back to MY Corporation now, and I’ll see him sooner or later.”

“Okay, then I’ll make an appointment with the Yoder Group.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Briana was about to continue ordering the food delivery. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Maxim’s deep voice sounded.

“Dinner is ready. I still have something to do tonight. You can go downstairs to have dinner.”

Briana didn’t answer. After a while, she heard the sound of the car engine starting. She walked to the window, just in time to see Maxim’s taillights disappearing.

Five minutes later, Briana went downstairs.

Briana saw her favorite dishes on the table. Her eyes flashed with surprise.

But she didn’t think much about it. After finishing the meal, she washed the dishes and went back to her room.
