After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Sidney pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed on Maria's face, waiting for her reaction.

Maria glanced at Herman, meeting his gentle, smiling eyes, which were now softly watching her.

His gaze was focused and tender, giving her a feeling of reliability and safety, even though they hadn't known each other for long. He seemed like the perfect boyfriend material-suitable for a well-bred girl. But she considered herself trouble, someone unsuitable.

"Thank you." Maria reached out, taking the coat from him with a smile.

Herman draped the coat over her shoulders and said warmly, "It's getting a bit windy, don't catch a cold."

His kindness was thoughtful and attentive.

Sidney observed everything in silence.

Maria took a sip of water before turning to Sidney, "I'll consider what you said. You should head back for now."

The light in Sidney's eyes dimmed little by little, and he lowered his gaze, resembling a sad puppy that hadn't been comforted or encouraged. If he had ears, they would probably be drooping right now. It was strangely pitiful.
