Yuna wanted to leave a good impression, so she quickly rushed toward Victoria and tried restraining her. Without a second thought, Maia stepped forward and grabbed Yuna’s forearm. Maia had not forgotten that Yuna had once hurt Victoria badly. How could she allow that to happen again?“Which bitch is restraining me?!" Yuna yelled and turned her head toward Maia. However, before she could react, Maia slapped her across the face. The room fell into utter silence. Maia said, “You should be careful with your words. You never know who you’re talking to!”Yuna did not expect to see Maia here at all. Victoria was excited and said, “Maia, you’re here! Come help me out with this!” Victoria was referring to the expensive items in the room. Maia felt a throbbing sensation in her head just seeing Victoria’s actions.Instead of helping her, Maia turned toward Mrs. Smith. “I apologize for slapping your daughter-in-law. However, what she said was quite vile, and I couldn’t help myself. Si

When Mr. Smith heard Maia address him, he took a glance at Cedric and smiled slyly. “I’ve just received news that you were here. I didn’t expect you to witness this unsightly scene. We have spoiled Victoria far too much."Cedric continued to remain silent as he stroked Maia’s back. Even though Maia had layers of clothing on as it was mid-winter, she could still feel his touch. She knew that he was waiting for her to react before responding to Mr. Smith. “It was our fault for visiting on a whim. We didn’t want to intrude.” Maia looked at the shattered glass on the floor and shook her head. “Vicky is my designer, who was employed by my hubby for me. We’ve become fast friends. I know that she can be quite hot-headed, but I’m also sure that this was influenced by her family. “Vicky knows that no matter what happens, her family would always back her up. If it were me, I would never dare be so bold,” Maia said earnestly. Maia was so skilled with her words that it was impressive. Fir
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 409 You’ll Kick Me Out?
Maia had already known that Victoria was impulsive, but she did not expect her to be so foolish. How could she just barge into the Smith’s residence and break their priceless antiques? Victoria might have done this to vent her anger. However, this would only do more harm than good to herself. Victoria had also realized that her actions were reckless. “I-I just couldn’t stand by and watch them hurt Aiken.” “And you think that they wouldn’t hurt him after you’ve wrecked their house?” The answer to Maia’s question was obvious. The stunt Victoria pulled today was just an act to vent her anger. This would most likely set off the Smiths, causing them to continually cause problems for Aiken. Victoria bit her lips nervously as she explained, “I was just too angry. Maia. Do you know how worried I was when I saw the news? I had prayed that it was just fake, but when his assistant picked up the call instead of him, I almost lost it. “When I found out that his accident had happened in

Victoria nodded. She had made sure to check on Aiken before she stomped into the Smiths residence. Unfortunately, that act that she had taken to vent her anger was going to cause her more trouble than she expected. When they got to the hospital, they quickly rushed to the VIP room that Aiken was in. Before they entered the room, they could already hear him. “Where’s Vicky? Bring me my cell phone! I need to inform her that I’m okay!” Aiken was seated upright on the bed, throwing tantrums like a kid. He kept hitting his bed with his right hand to show his frustration. “Why can’t you even let me make a phone call? I’m a patient who needs love and support! I need Vicky!” “Mr. Aiken, it’s not that we won’t let you make a phone call. Ms. Victoria is almost—” His assistant wanted to tell him that Victoria was already on her way here, but Aiken would not let him finish his sentence.“What if Vicky gets mad at me for not calling? How could you do this to me? I thought that I’ve final

"Where do you want to go? The driver is here," he said, naturally pulling her into his arms.Upon hearing Cedric's words, Maia suddenly laughed. "Are you going to be my driver today? How about skipping the conglomerate? What if those shareholders scold me for being a harbinger of bad luck?""They'll need guts to do that.""But if they scold me as a harbinger of bad luck, I'll accept it. After all, who wouldn't accept praise for being beautiful?" Maia said playfully, blinking mischievously.Then, Maia's expression gradually became serious. She looked at Cedric in front of her and said, "Cedric, can you guess where I want to go?""Burgess Winery." This statement was so affirmative, as if he could peer into her heart.Maia blinked in surprise. "How did you know? Cedric, do you really have the ability to peek into my inner thoughts?""How can I not know my Maia's thoughts?"Then, Cedric handed her a folded piece of paper."What's this?" Maia looked confused as she took it."It's
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 412 Shall I Take Care of That?
Cedric promptly closed the window that had just been opened."It’s cold outside." His tone brooked no argument.Maia snorted softly, "I feel hot...""Shall I take care of that for you?" He raised an eyebrow, his voice husky.Those eight words carried profound meaning."No, it's not necessary. Just turn the heater down a bit." As Maia spoke, her cheeks turned even redder.Cedric chuckled softly.Burgess Winery covered a vast area and was not located in the prime real estate of Prismara City, but at the other end of Mount Xavier. On a good day, one could see the extensive vineyards from the peak of Mount Xavier.Even the security guards at the winery entrance had changed. When they saw Cedric and Maia, they respectfully nodded and saluted. Maia knew that everyone here must now be Cedric's people. Even all the employees had been replaced."Is the winter pruning done? Are the orders proceeding as usual? Is the winery the same as before?" Maia looked at the vineyards, then turned t

"Relying on my past experience managing the winery is sufficient. The current younger generation can't compare to us elders. The old ways are the best. Hand over the winery, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. My daughter won't pale in comparison to you."My daughter. Those two words once again stabbed Maia's heart. Did it hurt? Not anymore. She had been through so much pain by now that she was used to it."Hope won't manage the winery. She has her own dreams and ambitions. You shouldn't impose your personal will on her. It might seem good for her in your eyes, but she may not see it that way.""Maia, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You, like your mother, want to take everything from the Burgess family and firmly control everything in your hands. Errol is now missing, most likely dead. You want the winery's heart, it's as clear as day.""Mr. Homer, mind your words. Is the HL Corporation worth less than the Burgess Winery? If Maia really wants it, I'll h
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 414 It’s Not Your Loss
She unloaded all the burdens in the harbor she felt was the safest, crying out her sorrows. At that moment, she was helpless. No matter how strong a person was, with enough pressure, the strong shell would eventually collapse.Cedric gently stroked her long hair, and his extremely gentle words echoed in her ear. "If the Burgess family doesn't want you, I do."Maia looked up, tears filling her eyes. She blinked, and the tears fell silently. But these silent tears pierced Cedric's heart with pain. For him, this was a silent weapon with great destructive power.He gently raised his hand, smiling tenderly at her, "As long as I am alive, you will never be alone."At that moment, Maia was like a traveler walking in the desert. She had walked a long way, exhausted, and only now had she encountered him. Each of his words was like the most precious water in the desert, moistening her parched soul."Let's go. Let's go home." He held her hand, leading her towards the exit of the winery.His

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
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
