Chapter 337 He Just Wants to Hold Her

Author: Pear Heart
Hans shook his head at the thought of it.

“So, are you saying that not even you know who my birth mother is, Grandpa?”

Hans nodded. “That’s right. I’ve been investigating her identity in secret, but it hasn’t been yielding any results. So, I didn’t pursue it any further. Regardless of who she may be, you’re a Larkin through and through. I’m proud to have you as my grandson, Cedric.”

Cedric frowned. “Didn’t father ever say anything about her?”

“Not a thing at all. However, he did give me a jade tablet when he first carried you here. He asked me to keep it safe. I recognized it. You need to have it if you want to rule over the Fox family. Without it, you won’t be able to hold on to that position!

“However, right now, Lauren is ruling over the Fox family. She was doing fine without the jade tablet. She’s an impressive lady by all means. If it hadn’t been for Rosa, she would’ve been the top business tycoon.”

“Lauren?” Cedric said deliberately.

Hans nodded. “That’s her. All your f

    Elena said solemnly, ”After all, I belong to the Welbeck family. Perhaps she thinks it’ll help her career if she pretends to know one of the Welbecks. Case in point, didn’t she manage to talk to you?”Elena might have smiled at Maia, but her hands were clasped together and her fingers entwined tightly. This tiny gesture betrayed her real feelings. Her unconscious act was proof that she was lying and that she felt guilty!The fact was that Maia was a savvy businesswoman, whereas Elena had lived a sheltered life. She might have done a good job running the winery, but that was it. On the contrary, Maia had seen and heard all sorts of affairs in the business industry. She was leagues ahead of Elena.She looked at Elena and kept a straight face. She did not even look the least bit curious at what Elena had said. Instead, she smiled, nodded, and said lightly, “You have a point. You’re young and inexperienced. Your parents have sheltered you well. So, why would you know anyone from the e

    Errol was puzzled. He signed, “What are you laughing at, Maia?”“Do you know Hope hates photoshoots the most? She’s a big star in Starlight Entertainment now. I don’t have the guts to take this job on her behalf. Here. I’ll give you her contact details so you can ask her yourself. I’m fine with it as long as she’s fine.”“Come on, Maia. Hope and I…”Errol was not as close to Hope as Maia was. They shared a different mother. Things were quite awkward between them. That was why he wanted to confirm the endorsement through Maia. After all, Hope worked for her. Little did he know that Maia would put the ball back in his court…“You guys are siblings. I know that.” Maia smiled, looked at him, and patted his shoulder, “Go ahead and ask her yourself, Errol.”In fact, Maia was trying to bring them closer. Someone had to take the first step. If Errol could not do it, they would stay distant. How was he not seeing this? Errol held his forehead. “You’re mean, Maia! Did you pick that up fr

    After that, he walked toward the entrance with her hand in his. The winery was quite different from the hallway. A lot of staff were moving about here. Word traveled fast that Maia and Cedric were in the winery. So, a big group of them rushed over to see them.Maia was a little embarrassed. She tried to shake him off, “L-Let me go, Cedric. There are a lot of people here…”“Why do I have to let go? I’m merely holding my wife’s hand.” He said it in such a matter-of-fact way that it stunned Maia and made her look at him. “It turns out you’re the type of guy who takes a mile when given an inch.”Cedric smiled at that and leaned in her ear, “How about I give you something longer than an inch?”“Why, you!” Annoyed, she moved to hit him in the chest. He could have stopped her, but he held her hand and made her hit him instead. However, Maia did not throw any weight behind the hits. Then, he said, “You murdered your own husband, Maia.”“Are you really this thick-skinned, Cedric? You

    Maia saw the caller ID. It was Paige. She immediately answered the call, “Hello, Paige?” “Ms. Maia, I just received a call from a crew member of Under the Same Roof. They said that Ms. Celia had left her luggage with them. They just found it when they were packing up to leave for another location. “They’ve already sent us her luggage. It’s currently in my room. What would you like me to do with it? Will you still be coming into the office today?” Paige knew about Celia and Errol’s relationship, so she did not open the luggage. Instead, she called to inform Maia about it. Maia walked out of the room as she heard Paige telling her about Celia. She did not want Errol to hear them to avoid bringing up his sad memories. She also did not want Elena to feel that Errol had not moved on from the past. While she talked to Paige, Maia turned back and waved goodbye to Elena and Errol. She walked quickly toward the exit and replied, “I’ll be right there.”“Right, got it.” Paige replied and

    It was mostly clothes, skincare and makeup products inside the suitcase. However, a small box under the clothing had attracted Maia’s attention.Maia lifted the box to check and saw that it was locked too. She wondered if it had contained something valuable, however, with her pathetic skills, it would take her a few hours to be able to open it.She immediately handed the small box to Cedric and smiled brightly at him.“What are you trying to do?” “It’s time for you to flaunt your skills!” Cedric just smiled in reply, placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair. He took the box and started picking the lock. Seconds later, the box flew open. Maia was still surprised by his skills as she blinked a few times, “How could you be so good at this? Is this one of your side hustles?”“Side hustle?”“Yeah. Are you a locksmith disguised as a CEO?” “Does that make you a locksmith’s wife?”Maia just rolled her eyes and opened the box carefully. “Are these drugs?” Maia took out a

    The atmosphere was tense.Maia looked at Nigel for a while before she was able to muster enough courage to confess. “Nigel, thank you for all that you’ve done for me in these past years. I know that you have feelings for me, but I’ve always seen you as a friend.” Maia paused before continuing. “However, we can’t force a relationship, I’m—” This was the first time Maia had been so direct with Nigel.“You’re back together with him.” Nigel finished her sentence as he could see Maia was struggling.“How did you—“ Maia looked at him in surprise.Nigel smiled sadly and replied, “I knew about it the moment I stepped into the company. The news that you’ve brought him here was all over the building. I came at such a bad time, or else I could’ve acted like it was just a rumor. “Still, I would never have expected you to be so brief with me for his sake.” Nigel did not even want to use Cedric’s name. “I’m sorry, Nigel.” Maia was not aware that the news of Cedric being here would be sprea

    Nigel’s choice of words was all taking aim at Cedric. The way that he had implied that he only wanted happiness for Maia and that he hoped that she had made the right decision. Cedric smirked and shot back, “Thank you for your concern, but Maia has made her best choice for choosing me.” Nigel’s expression was slightly awkward as he tried to maintain a charming appearance, “I only want what’s best for Maia.”Maia tugged at Cedric’s shirt again. She really needed him to stop ticking off Nigel. Instead of giving in to her request, Cedric just held onto the hand that was tugging him.“Maia, this is the report from the case we won.” Nigel took out a document from his bag and placed it on her table. “If you need anything more, feel free to give me a call. I’m still the same guy that you can always rely on.”Maia felt another sense of guilt growing inside. Even though she had also paid for his services, she knew that the main reason was not because of the money. “I still have some things t

    He made sure that the door to the lounge was locked and the curtains were drawn.“Cedric, we’re still at the office and in broad daylight! If anyone knows that you’re here or when Paige knocks and finds out that I’m no—” Cedric did not even give Maia the chance to finish her words as he kissed her on the lips.“You sure you want to talk about work at a time like this?”“I’m the CEO, of course I have to talk about work. It’s still my working hours, stop it.” Maia tried to stop his hands from wandering around her body.Cedric just smiled cheekily and stopped her. “I’ll pay for any losses.”It was easy for him to say as he was Cedric Larkin. He would probably not bat an eyelash even if he lost a few millions of dollars in a day. Even the public knew that Cedric had everything except Maia. Fortunately, it seemed like things were getting better for him.Cedric made a low humming sound as Maia bit into his shoulders. The lovers were only focused on each other as nothing else mattered t

    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? What’s the problem if I try to win his heart? What does it have to do with
