Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 12 Growing Old Together
Cedric scoffed. "Don't you think it's ridiculous to celebrate the wedding anniversary now that we're divorced?" Maia pleaded softly, "We never got to celebrate our honeymoon or anniversary together. Just this once, Cedric. Can't we make it special?""Maia, what tricks are you up to now?""I'm not up to anything. I'll leave Prismara tomorrow and will never show up here again. I promise!" Maia quickly held up a hand to swear. Cedric frowned as his head started to hurt again. He tried to shake it off. He had been suffering from headaches lately, and a piece of memory tried to force its way back into his brain. He saw flashes of a little girl's face overlaying Maia's, and he recalled her sweet voice saying, "Cedric."Concerned, Maia asked, "Is something wrong?"Despite his reservations, Cedric couldn't bring himself to say no. In a deep voice, he asked, "Are you sure you can do that?"Despite her disappointment, Maia nodded firmly. "Yes, I give you my word.""Get in the car."
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 13 Can't Bear to Put Them On
"I couldn’t bear to," she softly replied, leaving the gloves in the foyer. She then headed cheerfully toward the kitchen."What would you like to eat? How about beef stew? It's perfect for the weather today.""Okay," Cedric agreed.With a sweet smile, Maia hurried into the kitchen to get prepared. The servants were surprised to see her, given her recent divorce from Cedric. They could not fathom why he was being friendlier toward her now. Some of them quickly informed Judy, a maid known to be Rita's spy.Judy hurried into the main hall. Seeing Maia busy cooking in the kitchen, she marched over to the sofa, where Cedric browsed documents on his tablet. "Sir," she called out. "Yes?" Cedric's gaze remained on the screen."There's something I have to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should.""Then don't.""But if I don't, Mrs. Rita will blame me, sir,” Judy said. "Why have you brought Ms. Maia here? If the paparazzi catch wind of it, your reputation might suffer since you're di
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 14 Do You Regret It?
"It's up to you." Maia went to the wine cabinet and retrieved a bottle, but she struggled to use the corkscrew. She couldn’t quite turn the handles, and her face flushed due to the exertion.Seeing this, Cedric got up and walked toward the bar counter. "Go sit. I'll open it in just a second," Maia said as she continued to struggle with the corkscrew. Cedric held her hand from behind her and pressed the handles, effortlessly removing the cork. He chuckled. Surprised, Maia looked over her shoulder at him. His handsome face was no longer tense and fierce. She had never seen him like this. "What are you laughing at?" she said in her melodic voice. "It was kind of cute,” he replied as he went to the dining hall.Dazed, Maia stared at the cork. 'Kind of cute? Was he talking about me?'Her heart pounded as if her love for him had rekindled. "What are you standing there for?" Cedric’s smile was fading into a cold expression.Catching herself, Maia quickly said, "I'll get
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 15 Don’t Ever Love Me Again
Maia froze for a moment. Then she looked up at him and shook her head with a smile. "No, I don't regret it. As you know, marrying you has always been my dream. It may seem unfair that my mother worked with your grandpa to force you to marry me, but I wasn’t aware of it until later." Maia then said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, does it?""The reason?" he asked. "Huh?" Maia looked at him, puzzled. "Why did you insist on marrying me?" He thought there must be a reason.Maia fell silent.When Rosa was still alive, she was a legendary businesswoman in charge of Burgess Winery and Starlight Entertainment. For that reason, many men wanted to marry Maia. However, she only had eyes for Cedric and always followed him wherever he went. She always smiled at him even if he was highly annoyed with her. Before Maia could speak, Cedric added, "Don't tell me it's love, okay? We hardly knew each other back then." As Maia gazed at him, she recalled the memory of when she was 12 an
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 16 Not Wanting to Let Go
She could no longer fight back her tears when she felt his body heat. Holding him close, she leaned against his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat. She murmured, "Wouldn't it be nice if I could also forget about you?'Cedric frowned as an unusual feeling swept through him. He couldn't help but hold his arms tighter around her petite frame, and for a moment, he did not want to let go. "Shit!" he cursed under his breath. Just as he was about to let her go, the phone on the table rang. The caller ID showed that it was Zera. Maia pursed her lips and gently pulled away. The second Cedric answered the call, Zera's frantic voice came through. "Cedric, Mom's been kidnapped!"His gaze turned sharp. "What?"Zera sobbed, "We were supposed to go to the Hot Spring Resort today, but I had to attend an event at the last minute, so she went there first. Then the police called me and said she was abducted by several men on her way there!"Suddenly, Zera screamed, "What the hell is
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 17 The Lost Memories
"Thank you, Nigel. I understand." After that day, she and Cedric would go their separate ways and never meet again. "It's late. Get some rest, okay?" Nigel said. "Okay, you too. Goodnight." The call ended, and Maia noted that it was almost midnight. Her wedding anniversary was coming to an end. She cleared the table, washed the dishes, and prepared to leave."Oh, Ms. Maia, why didn't you say you were leaving?" July mocked Maia when she saw her in the foyer."Why? Must I report to you?" Maia looked over her shoulder at her with a smile. Judy lashed out. "Mr. Cedric doesn't even love you, okay? Serves you right for getting dumped!" "At least I don't have to fawn over rich people like you do." Maia opened the door, and a gush of wind rushed in with the snow. She shivered. As the wind howled, she could vaguely hear Judy say maliciously, "No men would want you, you dumb bitch!"Maia slammed the door shut with a frown, cutting off the rest of Judy's harsh words. Her warm t
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 18 Kidnapped
Cedric looked at Baz, who had arrived ahead of him. "Bring it here!" "Yes, sir." Baz picked up the cardboard box and marched over. "Open it."Baz nodded. He removed the lid, revealing a voodoo doll written with Rita's name.Zera let out a horrified scream and hid behind Cedric. "See? Someone's putting a curse on Mom! And there's a familiar scent, but I can't remember where I smelled it before."Cedric gave Baz a look.Baz nodded and sniffed the faint fragrance on the doll. "It smells like perfume." Zera suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I remember now. Maia always wore this perfume. Cedric, you smell the same. W-Were you with her just now?"With a frown, Cedric took the voodoo doll and sniffed it. It was indeed the perfume Maia always wore. "Maia must be behind this! She thinks mom caused her child's death, so she planned for the kidnapping! I'll go find her!" Zera had a sudden realization on her face and hurried toward the door. "Stop her!" At Cedric's command, Baz and others qu
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 19 Where Is She?
Judy's voice came through on the phone. "Ms. Maia left before daybreak, sir. I tried to persuade her to wait until the snowstorm stopped, but she seemed in a hurry and told me to mind my own business."Cedric frowned. As soon as he hung up, Zera spoke again. "So you were really with Maia…" She lowered her gaze and murmured, "She must have gone to see you on purpose so you wouldn’t suspect her."She grew more anxious as she continued, "This way, she’d have an alibi. Mom's kidnappers would never say she did it if she paid them off or threatened their families. She knew she’d never be charged! Oh, my God, how could she be so evil?"Zera frantically paced in circles. "I wonder how Mom is now…"Suddenly, a loud crash was heard as Cedric smashed his phone to pieces. He looked terrifying as he said, "Find out where Maia is."Baz nodded. "Yes, sir!"...It was still snowing that morning. Maia trudged through the thick layer of snow to arrive at Burgess Winery.Suddenly, a whistle c

Amanda came to sit next to Maia as she said, “I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well. Lauren is usually quite into the drama that she’s watching on TV. Today’s episode was a sad one, so I was wondering why she was still so happy watching it.” Lauren smiled back at them and replied, “I’m just really happy. I’ve never thought that I’d be able to see my eldest son again and that he has such a kind and beautiful wife by his side. “Eddie was also able to find his loved one, and I was lucky enough to be a grandmother. I never thought that I’d be able to go on a family trip with all my sons.” She started to tear up.“Lauren, don’t cry,” Maia said as she handed Lauren a handkerchief to dry her tears. Lauren wiped her tears as she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just being dramatic.” She looked around and asked, “Where’s Cedric? Is he with Eddie?”Maia nodded. “Yeah. This new project is a bit of a hassle, so he went over to try to help.” Lauren sighed, “Eddie’s father an
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 693 Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long
Cedric just smiled when he saw Maia’s worried reaction. “You sure you’ll keep your promise?” Maia tugged the blanket closer to herself and nodded. Maia would not dare to say no. If Cedric decided to do as he had said, she would just end up in bed the whole morning. “We can register our marriage anytime. You mean it?” She knew that Cedric was just baiting her, but she had no choice. She did not know what he would do next. When she glanced at his handsome face, her heart could not help but skip a beat. Just then, Cedric took out two pieces of paper from the bedside drawer. Maia was taken aback as she saw the document. They were marriage registration forms, and they were already filled in. “T-This was a setup! You’ve already had this all planned out from the beginning!” Maia scanned through the forms and was surprised to see that the only section left empty was the signature. Maia did not know when Cedric had started to prepare all this, but it looked like it had been a whil
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 692 Baz Is a Coward
Cedric glanced at Baz and asked, “How does it feel to miss someone so much?”Baz’s smile froze as he shook his head quickly. “Now, I can finally understand why you hate being separated from Ms. Maia.”Cedric just looked at Baz coldly. Baz quickly added when he noticed Cedric’s glare, “I’m just saying that you love your wife very much, and that man who’s like you would definitely understand.”“That’s a fact,” Cedric replied as he turned around and walked back into the bedroom. Baz immediately stopped him as he asked. “Mr. Cedric, why don’t you tell Ms. Maia the real reason why you’re so against calling Ms. Lauren your mother? Why didn’t you tell her the scars on your back were inflicted by Ms. Rita?” It was a horrible and unimaginable part of his childhood. “I don’t want to frighten her.”“But it’s difficult for you as well, Mr. Cedric. Calling Ms. Lauren your mother brings back horrible memories for you too.” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll do anything for her.” Cedric replied as he

“Is that true?” Gigi asked her grandmother.Lauren nodded and said, “Of course it is. Has grandma ever lied to you?”“Wow! Grandma, what was Daddy like when he was a kid?” Gigi was excited. She was not sleepy anymore as she pestered Lauren to tell her more. “Whenever I brought him to attend events, he would always cry. I still remember he had wet his pants once in kindergarten.” Gigi covered her mouth and giggled happily. Amanda laughed and looked at Eddie. “Did you really wet your pants?”Eddie palmed his forehead and told his mother, “Stop embarrassing me in front of my daughter, Mom.” Lauren just smiled happily back at her son. At the same time, Maia tugged on the hem of Cedric’s shirt and questioned cheekily, “Did you wet your pants when you were a kid?” Cedric drew her into his arms in response and threatened, “Maia, it seems like you won’t be able to go to bed tonight.” “I’m not afraid of your empty threats,” Maia replied. “Are you sure about that?”Maia nod
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 690 It’s a Son’s Duty
It was hard to believe he’d change his mind out of nowhere. She blinked and gawked at him. She almost forgot to breathe because of the sheer shock. Her face turned red from it, too. “Hey, breathe.” Cedric frowned. He realized her eyes were widening and her cheeks were completely reddened. Then, her lungs worked, and she started drawing breath again. She gripped the hem of his shirt instinctively. “Hmm?” Cocking his brow, he looked at her casually while taking her hands in his. “Do you want to know why I changed my mind?”She nodded immediately. Needless to say, she wanted to spring that question on him, but she wondered if she should. On the other hand, he merely chuckled and didn’t say anything. All he did was fix a deep, passionate stare at her. His eyes were filled with love and affection when he did it. Realizing that he wasn’t going to talk, she was bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you saying anything?”His grin widened at what she said. Reaching out, he pinched her fair ch

Taking his hands, she rested her fair cheeks on his palm.“Is there another reason you did it?” She asked. “I had someone plant something in the painting.”“What do you mean?” She pressed.“A wire.”Then, it hit her. “D-Does this mean you knew Fidelia would buy the painting at all costs?”“Mm-hmm.” He nodded.Pursing her lips, she said, “I guess it tracks. After all, Fidelia will surely buy anything you donate to Nordic College. She loves you so much that she peeled an entire bowl of prawns for you.”“Do peeling prawns mean she loves me?” He cocked his brow.She nodded instinctively.“Well, then. Do you know how much I love you now?”Maia was initially pondering something, but she was scattered the moment she heard what he said!Her face turned red. She couldn’t decide if she should nod or shake her head now. The only thing she could do now was change the topic. “Wait a minute. I just asked Gigi to bid on it. Did I almost mess up your plan?” Her brows were furrowed. She
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 688 What About This?
“Maia!” Amanda called out to her and hastened over. “D-Did you just say I was already on trending search?”“Mm-hmm.” Nodding, she handed her phone to Amanda. Amanda saw the search topic ‘Amanda Tate Burst Out Laughing.’ and was rooted to the spot.“H-How’s this already up there?”Maia chuckled. “There are so many people in the dining hall. There’s no way you can keep it from spreading on the internet for long. Even Gigi and Eddie got on the trending search. They were right behind you. “Valentines Group has also started working on the public relations angle. I browsed the internet and didn’t find any overly vicious remarks either. None of the marketing accounts were trying to stir up trouble either. All of Gigi’s pictures were censored as well. So, there’s nothing to be worried about here.”Amanda let out a sigh of relief at what she said. “It’s a good thing that no one attacked Gigi on the internet. Otherwise, I’m going to start chasing them with a machete that’s one foot long!
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 687 The Airhead
“Why, you!” Fidelia took the glass of fruit juice from the table and spilled it all over him!The sticky juices clung to his cheeks for a second before rolling down them.“Listen up, plastic face! It doesn’t matter if I can’t lay a finger on Maia because Cedric loves and protects her. It isn’t your place to make fun of me! Who do you think you are, Neilson? “You’re nothing more than my family’s lap dog. Look at how stiff your face is. You’ve wasted a perfectly good glass of fruit juice!”Staring at him angrily, Fidelia warned him nastily. She was so gripped with rage that her chest was rising and falling hastily. Then, she gritted her teeth and threw the empty glass at him.Catching the glass midair, he lowered his head. “You make a fine point, Ms. Fidelia.” Wiping the fruit juice from his cheeks, he apologized again. “Please calm down, Ms. Fidelia. You have to look at where we are now. It’d be wise not to make Mr. Thomas mad again.”“Are you seriously warning me again? Who do
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 686 Be a Woman for Three Minutes
Maia made up a reason so Amanda could take Gigi away. Amanda nodded, carried her daughter, and left the scene. All Gigi did was speak the truth, but Fidelia’s face grew grim and shot the three-year-old girl a terrible look. It was clear that Fidelia might do something outrageous to Gigi again if she didn’t divert her attention from the little girl. After all, Fidelia didn’t care about the consequences of her actions at all!So, she looked at Fidelia and said, “I’m not sure why you kept trying to win my husband’s heart, but I’ve been sitting here the whole time. Are you ignoring me on purpose? Or, are you so arrogant that you care only about Cedric and nobody else?”Fidelia immediately shifted her gaze to Maia. Glaring at her, she directed all of her anger and frustration at Maia. “What are you trying to say, Maia? My dad saved Cedric’s life. So, is there anything wrong with me peeling the shrimp for him? What’s the problem if I try to win his heart? What does it have to do with
