Chapter 303
Maeve couldn't avoid Zion's intense gaze. His eyes were full of sincerity.
"I'm not disloyal, especially in relationships. Maeve, my heart belongs to you. It always has and always will," he said.
"Zion, I don't believe in love," Maeve said coolly. "If it were the past, I could have fallen for you, but now, I can't risk loving anyone."
Maeve's painful past life lessons had made her wary. While she admitted to having feelings for Zion, it wasn't enough to gamble her future.
Life was precious, and now that she had a second chance to live again, she wouldn't let herself sink into love.
"Alright. Then, I'll stay by your side until you do," Zion replied firmly.

The sirens had also attracted a crowd of onlookers. It felt li

"You're really mean," Maeve muttered, unable to hold back How could someone ever think of such sinister tactics?
Zion responded nonchalantly, "Just doing my job."
Meanwhile, the Brooks family was in chans. Hailey nearly fainted when she saw the news, and Cecilia had to support her.
"Mrs. Brooks Senior, you have to calm down," Cecilia urged.
Cecilia had rushed to the Brooks Manor to curry favor as soon as she heard about Clara's disappearance.
Hailey was barely holding on mentally, already reeling from several recent blows.
She said, "Sergio... What was Sergio thinking? He's disgracing the Brooks family over a woman! How could he do something so reckless?" "Mrs. Brooks Senior, the priority now is to get Sergio bark." Cecilia said urgently,This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
