After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Maria smiled faintly and waved at Sidney, like greeting an old friend. Sidney, however, coldly averted his gaze and walked off with Diana.

Maria got out of the car. "Goodbye, Mr. Evans."

Herman nodded slightly, watching as she walked away.
