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

Chapter 944

Maria's eyes were half-lidded, her cheeks flushed as she gazed at him through the haze of alcohol.

"You... you're really good-looking," she murmured, her words slurred.

Herman gently grasped her wrist, removing her hand from where it lingered.

"Thanks, you're not too bad yourself," he replied with a small smile.

"You should rest," Herman said softly. "If you need anything, call me. I'm heading out."

He tucked the blanket around her, adjusted the air conditioning to a comfortable level, and quietly left the room.

As the door clicked shut, the room fell into silence. Maria stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment before slowly closing her eyes.

When Herman stepped out of the room, he spotted someone standing not far off-it was the same man who had confronted Maria earlier.
