Chapter 1847
"You...” Fabian wanted to raise his voice at Maria but held back upon seeing her complexion. After all,
Maria looked the best today compared 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 placed 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, comforting him faintly, "No, he won't."

"Are you an idiot? This project isn't playing 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 forthat 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 was last 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

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 accept reality
since it has already happened."
Maria's gaze landed 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?"
