Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 32 Her Return
This was the only thing he had given her, and now it had been returned to him. "Thanks." Taking the music box carefully, Cedric nodded at Errol and walked away. He brought it straight to her memorial.When it opened, a melodic tune began to play. Inside the box were several photos of the Northern Lights. He remembered what she said the other day. "People say our wishes would come true if we wished upon the aurora, but we can’t grow old together now that we're divorced."Letting out a bitter smile, he tried to put a photo back into the box. However, something on its back caught his attention. Written on it was a message in her handwriting: "How I wish you could see this, Cedric."She spent the so-called honeymoon alone in Frostholm, but when she saw the Northern Lights, the first person that came to her mind was him. 'What the hell have you done over all these years?' he reflected. 'It was you who killed her!'Holding the music box between his arms, he gazed at her pho
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 33 Get Rid of Them!
A woman in high heels entered the venue wearing bright red lipstick and a slit bodycon dress. The commotion gave way to silence. Then, the crowd exclaimed in amazement. "It's Maia Burgess!""What is she doing here?""Hasn't she gone missing?"Yvette and Homer were stunned onstage. Quickly adopting a fatherly tone, he exclaimed, "Maia, you're... finally back! I missed you so much."Maia frowned, disgusted by the man. She knew better than anyone what her father and stepmother were like. Yvette, however, was not as calm as Homer. Holding onto his arm, she paled as if she had seen a ghost. "Y-You…" Outsiders assumed Maia had gone missing for a year, but the Burgess couple was sure she died in the fire. But there she was, at the press conference!"Long time no see, Yvette. Too excited to see me?" Maia let out a half-smile. She turned to the reporters before the two could say anything. Live cameras were pointed directly at her, and flashes kept going off. "The footage yo
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 34 Who Dares?
Maia could not help but be nervous while trapped with him alone.Even after a year, she had to admit that the man still had power over her. However, she would no longer give in to her feelings. She quickly composed herself and smiled.“What should I explain? Yes, I made it out alive, but you know that you're the reason why I was trapped and nearly died in the fire."Cedric smiled. "You've become so argumentative now, haven't you?""I won't let anyone push me around anymore." She was no longer her former self. "Who dares to mess with you with me around?"Maia snorted. "So says the man who does.""Oh, yeah?" He leaned in and said in a deep voice, "You know I have to."The elevator dinged, and its doors opened. Cedric scooped Maia up."What the hell are you doing, Cedric? Let me go!" Maia struggled. He narrowed his eyes. "I intend to make you pay for deceiving me." He wanted her to pay the price for the rest of her life. Before Maia could respond, he kicked open a door to
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 35 I’ll Give Her My Life
"I'll give her my life if that's what she wants."The family had owed her too much, and she was right to take her revenge. Hearing this, Rita stumbled backward a few steps, shocked. "What the hell has Maia done to you? She no longer pretends to be innocent as she once did, and yet you want to offer her your life?"Palming her chest, Rita felt she could hardly breathe. She was bewildered as to why her son would side with Maia now. Ignoring Rita, Cedric instructed the bodyguard at the door, "Send her home.""Right away, sir." Cedric then strode away, ignoring Rita's calls. Despite being used by Maia, Cedric was in a good mood.Maia, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.She planned to take a cab back to her apartment after leaving the hotel. However, she was uneasy that Cedric did not erupt in rage as she had expected. He even played along just now. He even admitted that if she had died in the fire, he would be heartbroken.Bewildered, Maia wondered what it was all about
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 36 Marry Me Again
Cedric chuckled. "It worked, didn't it?"Baz understood now. "Well, Ms. Maia becoming the new CEO is indeed more newsworthy than Mr. Errol being deaf."Cedric smirked. "Something even more newsworthy will be trending shortly."Soon enough, the topic of Cedric liking the post began to trend, becoming the top trending topic in just a few minutes. He liked the post on purpose to generate more buzz. After all, nothing was more appealing than gossip.Cedric smiled and picked up his document folder. Suddenly, Baz's phone rang, and he quickly answered it. "What? Susie’s dead?"Cedric’s face froze. Susie had been the woman in charge of Maia's meals when the fire broke out.After he hung up, Baz said, "Sir, our men found Susie dead at her rental home. The police said it could be suicide." Cedric snorted. "Seems more like murder to me." He snapped his folder closed in frustration. They had been searching for Susie for six months, and now this! As Baz had been put in charge of fin
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 37 Hiding Her Ex-husband
"No," he said solemnly. He wanted no one but her!His domineering and possessive attitude made Maia stiffen. He was no longer cold to her, and this made her uneasy. She could never understand what he wanted. For a moment, she wondered if she had made the right choice to return to Prismara. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. A familiar voice came from the other side of the door. "Maia? Are you home? Errol and I have finished the investigation. Maia? Maia?" It was Aunt Tess and Errol!As the doorbell rang repeatedly, Maia grew flustered and pushed Cedric off her. She pointed toward the window. "Leave!"Cedric smirked. "This is the 12th floor. Are you trying to get me killed?" Maia quickly walked into the nearby master bedroom and opened the closet door.She gestured toward it. "Get in!" Cedric gave her a look. "Are you serious?"Her phone started to ring. "Cedric, there’s no time to argue. Are you getting in or not?""Fine."Just as Maia let out a sigh of relief, he
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 38 Not Letting You
Errol threw open the door, turned on the light, and quickly looked around.A small speaker and a charger seemed to have fallen onto the floor. Apart from that, nothing seemed unusual about the room. Not seeing Cedric, Maia was relieved. "I told you something must have fallen." Errol still felt that something was off but didn't dwell on it. "You’re lucky that it wasn’t a burglar. You could’ve been in danger." "Errol’s right. It's not safe to live all by yourself nowadays. Why don't you move in with me?""It's okay, Aunt Tess, the security at Cloud Nine is top-notch. I'll be fine." Maia knew that no thieves could break into her apartment… just her ex-husband. She didn't want them to know he was there, or they might get the wrong idea. Maia closed the bedroom door and saw Tess and Errol off. After telling her again to be careful, they finally left. When the door was finally closed, Maia let out a huge sigh of relief. Just as she turned around, Cedric suddenly appeared an
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 39 Cannot Count On Him
What he said set the livestream room abuzz.Cedric was known for being a heartless man, but how could he be so callous when Zera was on the verge of killing herself?When Zera saw Cedric, her eyes were filled with hope again. "I knew you’d come, Cedric. You broke my heart, you know…" She sobbed, clutching at her chest. Maia guessed that she would step down from the edge and throw herself into his arms before pretending to pass out.And that was exactly what Zera ended up doing… It was the same old trick again. Maia didn't bother to see what happened next and logged off the livestream. She checked the time and saw that there was only 10 hours left until the inauguration ceremony tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. She had to hurry. Maia then picked up the detailed account statements from the coffee table and drove away from Cloud Nine Residences. The city was still brightly lit late at night. Maia quickly made a call. Someone picked up, and a deep male voice said, "Hey, I'm already 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
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

“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
