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
"Maia Burgess, if you really think you're so hot, attend the class reunion. What's the use of acting so righteous when you have a shady past? Whom are you trying to fool? If you're courageous enough, let our old classmates evaluate you. Let's see what kind of trash you truly are!"With these words, Christine tossed an invitation letter onto the table in front of Maia. Maia glanced at the invitation letter and chuckled softly, "Using provocation to make me attend the class reunion? Clever."Maia's fair fingers casually picked up the invitation letter from the table. As she looked at the embossed golden design, a deeper smile played on her lips. Her beauty was inherently provocative, and with this smile, the provocation intensified.Christine became somewhat hesitant and took a few steps back, suddenly uneasy, feeling a bit frightened in the presence of this cold and imposing woman.Maia handed the golden invitation letter to Fischer standing behind her."Christine Giles, both your
Maia frowned and stopped in her tracks.“What is it?” Cedric asked.“Well. What was Lauren’s goal for doing it? You’d only hate her more if you ever discover it. She didn’t have to do this to herself.” “Lauren wasn’t the only player in the Fox family.”“What do you mean? Are you telling me that we’re in the crosshairs of some other Fox family member? Who could it be?” She pursed her lips.She had only learned a little about the Fox family. After all, they had been here longer than the Larkins. Few people could say they knew the family inside out. For the life of her, she could not figure out who else in the Fox family would want to do harm to them.…“Let’s put this aside. How’s the cleanup for the people who sold out the company?”These traitors could not sit on their thumbs anymore the moment they heard Cedric died in an accident. They started to collude with other companies for their personal gain.“They’re being taken care of one by one. Not one of them will slip away fro
