After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Oh? Is that so? But she said it was because you gave her signals, which is why she approached you," Maria remarked as she carried the small cake towards the car. Hearing this, Sidney immediately tensed up.

His sharp eyes fixed on her as he explained, "Maria, I swear I never gave her any signals. The only reason I met her was through my mom. I made it clear I wasn't interested in her. Later, we only stayed in contact because she introduced me to a client. I didn't want to owe her, so I did her a small favor-nothing more."

The time they had run into each other at the restaurant was right after Diana had introduced him to a client, and he had treated her to a meal as thanks.

Back then, Maria had been with Herman.

At that time, Sidney hadn't yet figured out his feelings.

Seeing her with such a handsome and accomplished man, he had felt irritated and something else he hadn't fully understood. He had only known that it bothered him, but he hadn't thought too deeply about why.

Later, when he realized how he truly felt about her, he regretted not walking over then. Maybe if he had, they wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns.

Sidney's explanation was earnest, and his eyes were clear, without a hint of guilt or hesitation.

Maria noticed and smiled a little more.
