Cedric sneered and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you trying to get paid from both sides?”“I knew you doted on Maia, but she insisted on paying me. So, I immediately tailored another dress and gave it to her as a gift. “What made you think I’d dare to play tricks on you? I might be a hothead but I know better than to get on the bad side of the both of you!”“It’s a given. It’s your honor that Maia wears your gown.”Victoria was speechless. She cleared her throat several times, “You’re right, Cedric. You saved my life and you’re my boss. Whatever you say goes!”“From here on out, you’ll be in charge of her gowns.”“Gotcha, Cedric.”“Put it on my tab.”“Alright! Loud and clear! Consider it done!” Victoria said. Then, Cedric hung up the phone. She looked at the phone and said, “I envy you, Maia. Cedric is so cold to everyone. You’re the only person in his heart. He cares about you in ways that astonish people around him.” She put her phone back into her pocket. Victoria had

"Yes, I know. I'll be waiting there." Maia hung up the phone promptly. Then, she quickly propped up the portrait against the living room wall and dialed Fernando's number. The call was quickly answered, and Fernando's friendly voice came through, "Hello? Maia.""Fernando, Ms. Rita and I will be coming to Beverley Manor later. I don't know why she's coming, but I'm worried she might harm Grandpa.""What? You and Madam are coming together? This..." Fernando was taken aback. He had not expected Maia to accompany Rita."It's a long story. She and I can never reconcile, but for now, she thinks I have amnesia, so she's treating me the way she did before. I need to be at Beverley Manor with her to see what she's up to!""Ms. Rita and Mr. Hans have never been on good terms. Back when Mr. Hans was still in good health, she caused him great suffering. There's so much history, and I have seen it all. Since Mr. Hans has been resting at Beverley Manor, she has never visited. She usually just

Fernando's expression remained unchanged."Ms. Rita, Ms. Maia, please have a seat. Mr. Hans is still resting. I'll go and see if he's awake," Fernando politely said. After uttering these words, he nodded to the two women and turned towards the antique staircase.Once Fernando left, Rita looked at her freshly painted bright red nails, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Are you juts going to sit there? Shouldn't you be preparing tea for your mother?""Of course, I'm sorry for forgetting my manners," Maia responded immediately, heading toward the nearby counter.She looked at the tea that Fernando had started preparing, and her gaze subtly changed. The counter was quite a distance from the living room. Maia had her back turned to Rita, so Rita could not see what she was doing.Maia began preparing the tea. She made one cup of tea and half filled it with salt, the temperature of the tea perfectly dissolving the fine salt particles.Then, holding the tea cup, Maia walked back to the li

"At your age, you don't even know if you will live to see tomorrow. What if something crucial for the fate of the Larkin family falls into the wrong hands? I am your daughter-in-law and the mother of your grandson. Can't you trust me?""Get out! Leave!" Hans's words echoed as he forcefully banged his cane on the ground. "I don't want to see you at Beverley Manor ever again! Rita, you can try as hard as you want, but I'll never give you what you desire!"Being frail, Hans could not sustain such strong emotions, and Fernando quickly rushed into the gazebo. Maia, sensing the tense situation, quickly followed.Fernando, despite his inner anger, had to remain civil to Rita. He could only politely say, "Ms. Rita, Mr Hans's health is not what it used to be. Why did you upset him so much? Please leave."Rita, determined to get what she wanted, was not about to leave without it."Maia, speak some sense into him. This old man has been stuck in Beverley Manor for so long that he has lost touch wi

Maia kicked Rita into the pond. Instantly, water splashed everywhere. Since Rita could not swim, she struggled in the water in an attempt to stay afloat, unknowingly making herself sink faster.Maia watched Rita's miserable state, continuously choking on water, and just coldly smirked. "Rita, compared to what you did to me, what's happening now is nothing. It's just a drop in the ocean."Maia's gaze became even colder. When Rita ran out of strength to struggle, Maia turned her attention to the bodyguards standing aside, hesitant to interfere."You can go and save her now." Leaving Rita to die here would be letting her off too easily. Besides, if she died where Hans was recuperating, it would be disrespectful, not to mention how it would ruin the picturesque pavilion. The bodyguard immediately jumped into the water and quickly pulled Rita out. Rita was completely drenched. She comically resembled a drowned rat, but she was mostly unharmed, despite being exhausted by what she had

In the past, when she was at her most helpless, it was Hans who extended his hand to help her. Now, it was her turn to repay the kindness."Well, well." Hans, his body supported by a cane, trembled slightly from excitement. Fernando, watching Maia, also nodded in approval.Hans beckoned to Maia. "My girl, come here, help me inside."Maia quickly approached, supporting Hans. Following that, Hans instructed Fernando, "Fernando, tidy up the pavilion, disinfect everywhere Rita sat, and open the pond valve. I don't want her germs contaminating my beautiful pond.""Yes, sir," Fernando responded promptly, immediately attending to the tasks.Maia continued to assist Hans towards the living room. "My girl, come upstairs with me," Hans said, beckoning Maia and pressing the elevator button. Feeling the gravity in Hans's tone, Maia knew he must have something important to discuss with her. She swiftly followed Hans into the elevator.Upon reaching the second floor, Maia accompanied Hans in

It was plain to see that Hans had made up his mind to give Maia his jade tablet.“I can’t take it.” She shook her head repeatedly, but Hans was adamant about it. He tossed aside his walking stick and got ready to kneel. How could she let him do that? Maia stopped Hans and said worryingly, “What are you doing, Grandpa? You can’t kneel before me. Please, get up!” She quickly held his arms.“I’ll kneel until you agree to keep it, Maia!” Hans knew she had a soft spot for him. “Do me a favor, Maia. The way you carry yourself as the CEO of Starlight Entertainment and the way you handled Rita tells me you’re best suited to safe-keep this jade tablet. “I have no idea what came between you and Cedric, but I’m asking you to do this favor for me, not him. Are you going to turn me down?”Maia looked at the valuable jade tablet in her hands and fell silent. Hans was a cunning man through and through. If it had not been for his old age and memory issues, he would have easily run rings aroun

“My sincerest apologies on behalf of Mr. Hans. I’m sorry for the damage he caused.” Fernando bowed to Maia in remorse. “Please forgive him, Ms. Maia.”It was meaningless to point fingers now. If she looked at the whole thing from Hans’s perspective, he had done nothing wrong. Whatever happened went down because of bad luck and the fact that his memory was jumbled up. “I’ll be going home now, Fernando.” She nodded at him and walked toward her car. The wind blew past her and tousled her long hair. With the small leaf rosewood box in her hands, Maia’s brow furrowed. It turned out Cedric had not known that someone drugged her cup of tea. He actually tried to stop her, but she went ahead and blamed him instead. Maia cast her mind back to the morning when she poked at his chest with a knife and drove the knife in slightly. Cedric did not try to explain the situation. He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he leaned in closer and drove the knife deeper into his chest."Whatever you want, a

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
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

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
