After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

After thinking it over, Tiana decided to drop the idea.

Just then, the food began to arrive.

"Let's dig in! The food here is really good. Maria and I used to come here all the time," Tiana said cheerfully.

With that, the conversation shifted, and everyone started eating.

At one point, Maria excused herself to use the restroom. As she stepped out, she bumped into Herman at the doorway. He was on the phone, his voice calm and measured, speaking with patience clearly talking to a woman on the other end.

"I didn't expect you to get married so quickly," he said, breaking the silence.

Maria replied, "That's just how I am. When I decide on something, I go for it. I follow my heart."

"That's a good way to live," Herman remarked. "You seem happy and free. I'm honestly a little envious of that."

Maria smiled. "You could live that way too. You're the only one holding yourself back."
