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

Herman fell silent for a moment before responding, "I just got back. Let's not get into such heavy topics-it might ruin our sibling bond." Tiana burst out laughing.

Maria sat quietly in the backseat, listening to the banter between the siblings. She felt her mood ease, enjoying their lighthearted conversation.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant, a familiar place Maria had been to before. The food was always good. After everyone got out of the car, the server led them to a private room.

Maria was the last to enter, but just as she was about to step inside, she heard a familiar voice from downstairs.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I do. Sidney, you really know how to pick a spot."

Maria paused, her footsteps halting as she stepped back, glancing over the railing. Sure enough, she spotted Sidney walking into the restaurant with a girl by his side. They headed to a booth in the main dining area. What a coincidence.

"Maria, what are you looking at?"

Tiana, noticing her delay, called out curiously.

Maria shook her head, pulling her gaze away. "Nothing, let's go inside."

Meanwhile, downstairs, Sidney had also heard Tiana call out Maria's name. He instinctively glanced upward but saw nothing but the empty railing.
