Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 

“Maevel” Sergio placed a small box into Maeve’s hond. 

Maeve frowned, “What’s this?” 

“It’s what I owe you.” 

Maeve opened the box to find a diamond ring inside. 

When they got married, Sergio hadn’t prepared a wedding or a ring for Maeve. They had only obtained a marriage certificate without even holding a banquet. 

The reason given at the time was that he was too busy. But tonight, Sergio had placed this ring into her hands. 

Maeve frowned and asked, “Why are you giving me a ring?” 

“I neglected your feelings before. I hope you can give me a chance.” 

Maeve hadn’t expected to hear such words from Sergio. But soon, she regained her composure. 

“Are you doing this because of the Scott family?” 

After all, the Scott family was backing her. This time, the Scott family heavily invested in the commercial plaza that Brooks Group was about to launch. 

The commercial street developed by Mirage Group was a heavy blow to Brooks Group. Sergio couldn’t 

afford to divorce her now. 

Sergio’s expression changed slightly. “Why do you always think I have ulterior motives toward you?” He grabbed Maeve’s arm, asking, “Can’t it be because…? Sergio’s voice trailed off. 

“Because… I like you.” Sergio’s voice was barely a whisper. 

Maeve was taken aback. 

Sergio furrowed his brows, gripping Maeve’s hand tighter. “Why do you always keep me at a distance? Before, you were afraid of me. Now, you’re still so indifferent.” 

“Do you really want to know?” 

“I do. Why? You weren’t like this before.” 

Previously, Maeve had always followed him around, and he could see that she was wholly devoted to him. But since that auction, Maeve had changed. 

He didn’t understand what he had done wrong. Since that day, he hadn’t felt her affection for him as strongly as before. 

“What was I like before? Was I always following you around? Or was I constantly asking you what your liked, trying to please you every day, even imitating others‘ attire just to please you?” 

Sergio was speechless. 

“Sergio, do you really like that kind of Maeve?” Maeve continued. 

“…” 

“Admit it, Sergio. You didn’t actually like me back then, did you? Do you remember how much you despised me? Now you say you like me just because you’ve realized I suddenly don’t like you anymore, and your possessiveness is acting up.” 

Maeve looked at Sergio coldly. Sergio wanted to argue, but Maeve’s words left him speechless. 

1. me. You wouldn’t have “The old Maeve gave you a sense of superiority as a man. But that was respected me back then, so now that I don’t like you anymore. It’s as simple as that.” 

“Even if I regret it, even if I say I like you now, is it all useless?” 

“Sergio, there’s no such thing as a cure for regret in this world.” Maeve pulled her hand away from Sergio’s grip and continued, “That Maeve who liked you won’t come back, and I absolutely won’t fall for you again.” 

Pain was evident in Sergio’s eyes. “Not even a chance?” 

Maeve’s tone was firm and piercing. “Absolutely not.”
