The staff member’s voice became softer and softer as he noticed Maia’s face change. However, Maia just drew her lips into a thin line and nodded at the staff. “When you’re done, remember to pick up those cigarette butts. It’s not nice to litter on set.” “Yes, of course, Ms. Maia.” They nodded and quickly cleaned the cigarette butts lying around. Maia did not waste any more time, as she marched directly onto the set. “Fischer.”“Yes, Ms. Maia?” “What do you think about these accidents?” “You already have an answer,” he replied. Maia nodded, “I want you to dig deeper into this.”“Got it.” Maia took the umbrella and lunch box from his hands and walked toward Hope’s trailer. When she got there, she could hear Hope crying from outside the door. Maia knocked on the door lightly and entered the trailer. When Wesley and Hope’s assistant saw Maia, they greeted her in relief, “Hello, Ms. Maia. You’re finally here!” Hope immediately lifted her head when he heard that. When she saw
Hope looked at Maia and pouted. “Stop teasing me. We’re sisters, so I’m just like you. Faithful to the end!”“Is that really a compliment?” Hope froze for a moment as she remembered the helicopter accident. “Maia, I didn’t mean to—”“Don’t worry about it.” Maia laughed and reassured Hope by stroking her belly, “I still have him.” Besides, Cedric was back safely. It was just a matter of time before she could tell the world that. Hope’s sad face immediately brightened up. “That’s right! I’m going to be an aunt soon. Maia, let’s go shopping next time! I need to buy presents for my new nephew!” “Okay, I promised to let you buy him lots of gifts.” Hope smiled and nodded eagerly. Moments later, the sisters stepped out of the trailer and walked toward the set. “This is where they shot the bombing scene.” Hope lowered her eyes and sighed sadly. Maia just looked at the quiet surface of the river. She could not help but feel that something was not right. The next place they went wa
Maia stared into the handsome face in front of her. She noticed that his wounds had already healed and most of them were just scabs. He was also wet as there were water droplets across his chest. He looked extra seductive with his fresh-out-of-shower look. As the rain outside got heavier, the glass corridor was covered in water droplets. They reminded her of his wet washboard abs as the water droplets slid down and into her heart. “I couldn’t find you when I got home. Why were you hiding here? Were you trying to hide from me and the baby?” Maia placed a hand on her belly and pouted at him. “If you wanted me to leave, just tell me. I won’t hang around!” Cedric knew that she was toying with him, but his heart still ached when he saw her fake grievance. “Maia, stop trying to act innocent.” Maia was taken aback by his accusation as she stared at him in confusion. Cedric took the opportunity to pinch her chin lightly and asked, “Sugar baby, huh?” Maia was shocked. H-how did he kno
“I was just glaring at those who would dare look down on you,” Cedric added while he kissed her again on the lips. Maia just laughed at his silliness. She lifted her hand and pinched his cheeks playfully. “Are you jealous again?” Just then, Baz and Fischer walked into the living room and saw the scene. They were both surprised by how fearless Maia was. The next scene made them freeze on the spot as Cedric kissed her hand lightly and placed it on his abs. “Wh-what are you doing?” Maia asked in surprise.“I’m warming your hand up.”“What about this? You can’t just warm one of my hands.” Maia commented as she gave him the other. Cedric smiled as he grabbed both and placed them on his abs. “Why don’t I warm your body too?” “Nope, I’m fine. Thank you.” As Maia finished her sentences, she noticed Baz and Fischer standing in a corner. She quickly withdrew her hands from Cedric and nodded at them. “Mr. Cedric, Ms. Maia.” They addressed them politely as they stepped into the livin
"Maya Burgess's new romance? What the hell is this pixelated garbage? The photos are too unclear, right? Is that place not Prismara Hill? Is it a newly purchased love nest?""Oh my, you can't see the man's face clearly! Is this window transparent? It's covered in rain, and it's so far away, you can't see anything! Who is this man? He seems to have a good figure!""Maia actually got a photo inside this villa! The person leaning against the glass must be her, right? And today, Hope's fans took a photo of Maia. She went to the set of 'The Gorgeous Detective' today, wearing that same coffee-colored coat, the latest from LV!""I can't believe it. How long has Mr. Cedric been gone? She's already living with another man in a new house? This woman is really amazing. Mr. Cedric gave her everything, and she forgot him so easily? Does she have no heart?""Did Maya Burgess forget she's pregnant? I wonder if it really is Cedric's child now.""Looks like she adopted a sugar baby, right? I heard
Saying this, Maia suppressed a laugh, pretending to look serious. "That shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cedric's mouth. It seemed that the time spent pampering her had not been in vain, as she had started to act willful and domineering. But he enjoyed seeing his Maia lively and mischievous. He loved watching her climb on top of him and act all playful.Cedric then took a pen and wrote a line on the blank paper: "Cedric is not the rich woman Maia Burgess’s sugar baby, he is her one and only true love."Maia was stunned, and what left her in a daze was not just the identical handwriting but the sentence itself written in the same style. This sentence brought a sweet feeling to her heart.Before Maia could react, Cedric had already put down the pen, reached out to hold her delicate wrist, and pulled her into his arms, seating her on his strong and powerful thigh.Next, the cup of milk was pushed in front of her. However, when she saw the
Eddie looked at Sally, who remained calm. He rolled his wheelchair forward, getting closer to her."Do you know what I'm talking about? Why pretend not to understand? If you don't get it, let me make it clear. It's you who exposed Maia's new relationship," Eddie said, his tone certain. It was not a question, but a statement."Honey, are you talking about today's trending topic? I haven't seen it yet... Maia is trending? And a new relationship exposed?" Sally's gaze focused on the open box with the camera bearing the logo, and Eddie chuckled unexpectedly."Isn't Luna News the one who exposed Maia's relationship? It seems you have a good relationship with them, and they even sent the camera to you." Sally immediately replied, "Recently, we at Valentines Entertainment needed to collaborate with major news companies in the industry. Luna News is a leading name in entertainment news. This camera is a memento they left for me.""Are you sure it wasn't sent to you as a warning? Sally! H
"Maia, wake up." He called her again, his eyes filled with indulgence yet a hint of reluctance. If Maia had not reminded him yesterday to make sure she wakes up, he would have let her continue sleeping.However, it was evident that this call was not working. He had to change tactics, planting kisses on her cheeks."Ced..."Maia opened her slightly drowsy eyes, looking at the handsome face before her, pleading, "Let me sleep a little longer, five minutes, just five minutes..."With that, she closed her eyes again, snuggling in his arms. He embraced her, letting her sleep peacefully for five minutes. Then, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his deep voice resonated, "Don't go to work today. I'll take care of your work."Seeing her sleeping so soundly, he could not bear to wake her up. If his Maia wanted to sleep, she would sleep. Even if the sky were falling, he would not disturb her sleep!"Um... I can't..." Maia, upon hearing Cedric's words, mumbled in her half-awake state. "I h
