Chapter 1847


    “You…” Fabian wanted to raise his voice at Maria but held back upon seeing herplexion. After all,


    Maria looked the best todaypared to the previous days.


    “Are you listening to what I’m saying?” Fabian tried to be patient and asked her nicely.


    “I heard you. Cameron is awake.” Maria ced her cutlery down and wiped her mouth with a napkin


    before looking at Fabian. “What about it?”


    “He wouldn’t obey us anymore, and he is the same as he was in the past again!” As Fabian had gotten


    a reply from Maria, he sat down with one arm on his knee, appearing to be in distress as he continued,


    “It’s game over for us if he goes back on his words and takes the project back from us!”


    If it were in the past, Maria would have been wailing already. However, she was exceptionally calm


    today,forting him faintly, “No, he won’t.”


    “How can you be sure of that?” Surprised by her words, Fabian asked doubtfully.


    “Are you an idiot? This project isn’t ying house, so how could he go back on his words so easily and


    make changes? You’ve taken over the project, and you’re already halfway through. Why would he take


    it back now? He had raised quite a controversy back then already,” Maria disdainfully said as she


    walked over to the couch to pick up her handbag.


    “Where are you going?” Fabian got up when he noticed that she was leaving.


    “Shopping.” With that, she headed to the door.


    Fabian did not sense anything before this, but now, he realized that Maria was acting strangely. She


    was being too unusual.


    ‘What is going on today? Cameron is acting so weird, and so is my wife. Do they both have problems


    or is it just me?’ Fabian thought.


    “Shopping? With who? Where are you going? How do you have the mood for that now?” He chased


    over and blocked her path as he shot her a series of questions.


    Maria stopped and stared at him as her lips curved into a smile, one he could not be sure of what it


    meant. “Are you crazy? Why are you asking so many questions? Why can’t I go shopping? I used to do


    that all the time.”


    “That wasst time, but now you’re…” Fabian trailed off, hesitant to continue.


    Maria had been in unbearable pain after Rhea’s passing. At one point, she would go crazy whenever


    she heard her daughter’s name. Hence, Fabian tried not to bring Rhea up as much as possible and got


    the servant to do the same.


    He even locked Rhea’s room up and moved all the furniture in the house.


    ‘Why does she seem fine now, like nothing had ever happened? Is she finally over her pain, or is this


    the calm before the storm?’


    “What’s with me now?” Maria grinned and took two steps closer to Fabian, forcing him to move back a


    little.


    His look made Maria smile indifferently, but her words that followed astonished him to his core. “Are


    you trying to say that now that Rhea has died, I should just stay home and cry all day?”


    Fabian stared at her in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment. “You…”


    “What? Did you think I’ve gone mad?” Maria was still smiling. Then she held her bag and took a seat


    on the couch. Sighing, she said, “I’m not crazy! I’m just over it now! Although Ree had left us suddenly,


    I must ept reality since it has already happened.”

    Maria’s gazended on the floor before her, appearing dazed before she continued, “There’s no point


    for me to keep holding on to it, crying all day long. Life continues, and we can never know how it will


    turn out, right?”
