Did Cedric not eat? He waited in the hall just to deliver the files to her?

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I seem to be a bit too talkative." The housekeeper immediately apologized. "Ms. Maia, please rest early."

"Okay." Maia nodded and the housekeeper returned to her work post.

Maia looked at the envelope in her hand and then glanced at the trash can outside, filled with cigarette butts. When did Cedric become such a heavy smoker? She pursed her lips, feeling the weight of the envelope as if it were a thousand pounds, making it difficult for her to hold.

She lowered her eyes and muttered softly to herself, "Maia Burgess, what were you thinking? He has nothing to do with you." Then, she walked quickly to the elevator and went upstairs.

As the elevator slowly ascended, a man emerged from the shadows. The housekeeper, upon seeing him, respectfully called out, "Mr. Cedric."

Cedric nodded slightly, not saying a word. He just stared at the elevator ascending floor by floor.

    Maia pursed her lips. She could hear his heart pounding.She was about to shout at him when he put her down and let her stand by herself. Then, he started checking for injuries before she could say anything. “You’re hurt.” His frown deepened. That was when Maia noticed that there was a cut at her feet. Was it the work of the billboard from when the elevator dropped sharply? Anyway, it was just a flesh wound. She was tougher than that.“I’m fine.” Maia said nonchalantly. Then, she asked, confused, “D-Didn’t you leave?” Cedric was a little nervous. “We should take care of your wound first.” Then, he swept her off her feet before she knew what was happening.“P-Put me down, Cedric. People are watching!”“What do you mean?”Maia was stunned to see that the group of people at the staircase had already dispersed. When did they leave? How could she not have heard anything?Cedric carried her to the stairs and started climbing. “There’s another working elevator. You don’t have to c

    Baz was caught in the middle now, “Mr. Cedric said he’s not going, Ms. Maia. There’s no changing his mind. I-I can’t go against his orders, but we have some medicine in the car. Should we have him take it and see how it goes?”“What? He’s in so much pain he’s sweating!” Maia looked at Cedric angrily, “Are you going to the hospital, Cedric? I’m going to ignore you if you don’t!”“You’re already doing that.” He smiled bitterly and said, “I’m the one to blame for it.”Nobody realized just how much he wanted Maia to care about him. He would gladly take it even if it meant her nagging him and throwing temper tantrums. He would revel in it because it meant she loved him from the bottom of her heart. However, he could no longer see any signs that suggested she loved him these days.“Read the room, Cedric. Why are you talking about this now? Hurry up and go to the hospital. Get your stomach checked thoroughly. It wasn’t in great condition to begin with. Can you take better care of yourse

    Franklin packed up his equipment and gave them to Baz. “You called me out here in the middle of the night just for me to see Cedric in such a sorry state. You did a bad job at being his assistant. Take these to my car.”“As you wish,” Baz said, as he took Franklin’s stuff to the car. Franklin walked toward Maia after Baz left. He nodded and smiled at her. “It’s been a long time, Maia.”“Indeed, Franklin.” She nodded and smiled politely.“I’m aware you respect me, Maia. I also know you’re just being polite, but I always ask for a mile when given an inch. So, I’m going to leverage your respect for me and talk to you about something private. Do you mind?”Maia shook her head and smiled, “I respect you from the bottom of my heart, Franklin. It’s not just out of courtesy. I welcome your input anytime. Please. I’m all ears.”“I’ll cut to the chase, then. You saw the shape Cedric was in. His stomach problem gets worse every year. He has to eat three meals a day. It’s also crucial tha

    Maia was stunned for a long time. She snapped back to reality after Cedric called out to her again.“Maia…”Her body stiffened when she heard his tone. It was different this time. The love and longing in his tone were unmistakable.She was shocked. She replayed his tone in her mind over and over again. No one had ever spoken her name like that. He was the first to do so.Maia frowned. Franklin’s words came back to haunt her. Her lips twitched and she said to herself, “It’s true. To love him again is to take chances. You need courage for that. However, my courage is all but spent. I no longer have it in me to love him.”She spoke softly, but each word was filled with deep sorrow. A drop of tear fell from her eyes and landed on Cedric. He frowned immediately, as though the warm tear had stung him, and said worriedly, “Don’t be scared, Maia…”There was that tone again. Maia turned around and left the room briskly. She closed the door immediately, leaned on it, and took a deep breath

    Maia nodded and went back to sleep. The doorbell rang again. Cedric looked at her lovingly, put the towel on the table, and went out to open the door. Buck was shocked by what he saw. “M-Mr. Cedric.” Buck took a few steps back and checked the unit number again to make sure he was at the right place. “She’s still sleeping.”Buck cleared his throat and nodded. It was pretty clear what happened here. He said, “I-I’ll just wait for Ms. Maia in the living room.”“Help yourself.”Buck nodded and headed meekly to the living room. He sat on the couch that was furthest from the bedroom. Then, he heard a commotion in there. Maia came out, looking unkempt, and tried to stop Cedric from opening the door. Alas, it was too late.“Good morning, Ms. Maia.” Buck smiled and greeted her. She nodded and said stiffly, “Morning.”Gritting her teeth, Maia was so mad at herself. If she had not let Cedric open the door just now, then it would not have been this awkward. “The Horizon Awards’ orga

    Buck was a burly guy who towered over everyone. He continued to grin cheerfully as he half dragged Nigel aside to maintain some distance between him and Cedric. “You have a smart PA,” Cedric commented coldly. If it were not for Buck separating them, Cedric would have given Nigel a black eye. “Of course, we have to be smart in the light of someone as powerful as you,” Maia replied. “You don’t have to be wary of me.” Cedric would always welcome all her tantrums. “We’re even now, so there’s no need for us to see each other anymore.”“I’ve told you, we’re not.” “What do you mean? I’ve instructed Baz to look for a doctor for you and took you in for the night. Whether or not you were there, I’d have eventually been saved by my building’s management and rescue team. “If you’re referring to the information that Victor had, when I’ve settled the issue with Mykonos Studios.

    “Ms. Maia, how did I do just now? Mr. Nigel would’ve end up being punched by Mr. Cedric if I hadn’t acted fast! However, Mr. Nigel sure is noisy. He isn’t even your boyfriend yet, he keeps trying to interfere with your relationships. “Mr. Cedric was intimidating as well. He had completely ignored Mr. Nigel’s presence.”Buck paused, gave a thumbs up to Maia and continued, “But you were actually the best! You made Mr. Cedric leave obediently. The man, so feared by many, did not even dare put up a fight! The power of love is amazing!“However, are you sure it’s a good idea to just throw Mr. Cedric out? I don’t think he’s fully recovered. Isn’t it a bit heartless to do that to him?”Maia could feel her temples throbbing from Buck’s incessant nagging. She took a seat on the sofa and glanced at him. Finally, she yelled at him to stop as she could take it no more. “Buck Harvey!”“At your service!”“Why are you here, this early in the morning?” Maia asked.“Right. I’m here to confirm t

    They were in such an aggressive fight that Maia did not give a second thought as she rushed toward them, trying to break them up!When Cedric noticed her dashing headfirst into their fight, he immediately cradled her in his arms and turned, shielding her from Nigel’s attack.The force of Nigel’s attack hit Cedric fully as he frowned and hugged Maia tighter. The only thing in Cedric’s mind was Maia’s safety as he asked, “Are you okay?” Maia was momentarily stunned before she heard him ask. She lifted her gaze to meet his and shook her head in response. When Nigel was finally able to notice what was going on, she was already in Cedric’s arms. He quickly asked apologetically, “Are you hurt? By the time I saw you, it was already too late for me to stop my attack.”Maia pushed herself away from Cedric’s embrace and replied, “I’m fine.” That attack did not reach her at all as she was instantly protected by Cedric. She did not even see what exactly had happened. Maia drew her lips together

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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!

    “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

    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?
