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

Chapter 942

Sidney had texted, "She's not my girlfriend."

Maria shut off her phone without replying and went to change her clothes.

"Does it even matter?" she muttered to herself.

He had defended that girl in public, and it had irritated her.

"If she's not your girlfriend, then why step in?" she thought.

He even apologized on her behalf, acting like they were close-what was the deal with that? The whole thing left Maria feeling restless and annoyed.

Sitting on the couch, her gaze drifted into the distance, her thoughts swirling. Looking back, she realized how happy she had been before Sidney entered her life.

She had gone wherever she wanted and done whatever she felt like doing.

When she was in a bad mood, she'd bicker with Brian and the others, sometimes even teasing their boss when she felt daring. Her life had been carefree, with tasks and missions punctuating the easy days. But now...

She no longer felt like herself. It was as though she had lost her way.
