Chapter 544 Only Time Will Tell

Author: Pear Heart
“You’re not willing to come with me? Don’t worry, it’s on. I’ll bring you to the bar I’ve just invested in.”

Paine sighed while walking toward the elevator.

Maia was shocked when she heard crying sounds coming from behind the door. She tugged on Cedric’s sleeve lightly and suggested, “You should go with him.

“Make sure he doesn’t drink, you can order something else like a glass of juice too, remember to be kind to your stomach.”

“I got it.” He ruffled Maia’s hair before planting a kiss on her forehead.

When Maia was sure that Cedric had left with Paine, she entered Priscilla’s apartment. When she walked into the living room, Maia noticed Priscilla seated with her knees tucked under her chin. The ice bag that she had in her hand had already melted.

“Priscilla, how are you doing?” Maia asked.

Priscilla lifted her head and looked at Maia with teary eyes. “I-I’m so sorry for causing you trouble. I just couldn’t attend the event tonight.”

Maia sat by her and gave Priscilla a

    Paine downed so many sodas that he started to hiccup. Cedric replied calmly as he looked at Paine, “It didn’t matter if I had lost my memory or not. The truth is I was the one who had hurt her.”Paine patted Cedric’s shoulders as he gave Cedric a thumbs up. “Good on you for realizing that! But what have I done to hurt Priscilla? I’ve damaged my own reputation for her sake! How could she say that she doesn’t love me anymore? Is it because women are just fickle?”“Are you sure she meant what she said?” Cedric asked sharply.“She had was pretty insistent on that. She said she had changed. The entertainment industry has many better options for her. She doesn’t need me anymore. How would you feel if Maia told you this? I’m sure you’ll be drowning yourself in alcohol as well.” “You won’t get drunk on soda,” Cedric commented coldly.“Are you here to comfort me or make me feel worse?” Paine’s suffering was so huge that he wanted to cry. “I’m trying to get you to think rationally.”

    It seemed necessary to investigate.Maia finally left Priscilla's apartment after an hour. The Rolls-Royce was waiting in the underground garage. Cedric, dressed in a dark blue suit, leaned against the car. There was a lit cigarette in his hand.Maia frowned at the cigarette. Seeing her approach, he immediately extinguished it and tossed it into a nearby trash can.Maia coughed a few times, pretending to be choked by the smoke. "I'm pregnant and can't stand the smell of smoke. I feel dizzy now."She put on a very pitiful expression, and Baz couldn't help but chuckle. "No more smoking from now on, okay?" Maia's tone became even more pitiful."Okay." He gently stroked her long hair, blowing into her ear.Maia tried to dodge, but he held her firmly. Then, his deep voice sounded in her ear, "Still feeling dizzy now?" Cedric lowered his head and placed a kiss on her neck. She felt the wetness, and a red mark blossomed on her skin."Hey..." Maia's cheeks turned red, trying to pu

    Cedric gestured to Baz at the back, and Baz quickly handed over a document bag."What's this?" Lauren was puzzled.Eddie wheeled himself forward. "You'll know when you see it. Give it to me."He took the document bag. Maia was stunned. She didn't expect Cedric to give them this document bag so quickly. It contained evidence of Sally's actions.Eddie opened the document bag and looked at it. However, his expression became increasingly ugly."What's going on? Eddie, what are these?" Lauren asked."Heh!" Eddie sneered, "I underestimated her!""What exactly is it?" Lauren asked while picking up the documents Eddie had placed on his legs.After she read through them, her expression changed dramatically."I can't believe this. Is this true?" Lauren couldn't believe it. "She's really something! I never thought she’d do such unforgivable things. Taking Rita out of the psychiatric hospital, causing trouble for her in the business world, and even poisoning Cedric. I never thought that s

    Maia blushed even more. "Y-You should go help now."She gently pushed him with her delicate hand. He chuckled and walked toward the kitchen.After Cedric left, Eddie smiled and said, "Maia, my brother loves you. I don't know why you two got a divorce, but being bound together by the threads of fate again is a great happiness. He doesn’t know a mother’s love, but you’re the warm light in his heart."Upon hearing Eddie's words, Maia tightened her hold on Cedric's suit jacket.When Eddie said these words, his eyes were sad. He seemed like someone suddenly awakened to the realities beyond his age, saying things that didn't match his years.Maia knew Eddie must have a story but didn't want to pry. She just nodded."Thank you. As you said, I should be the warm light in his heart. But you are also a light for him. I can see that you are a good younger brother. Please continue to be one.""You speak eloquently." Eddie nodded with a smile. "I will be a good younger brother. After all, my

    "There's still..." Lauren became a bit anxious when she saw Cedric's actions. "How can you feed your wife like this?"He remained calm and replied, "The food from her plate tastes better."Lauren laughed, and Eddie also smiled along. However, Maia's face turned even redder.After this dinner, Lauren and Eddie discussed the matter of his divorce from Sally."I have no objections. She has been getting away for a long time. This time, it involves taking lives. This marriage needs to end. After protecting her for many years, I consider it a completed mission."Eddie's words made it even more confusing. Was Sally just a mission for Eddie? Now, Maia was even more perplexed."Let's step down from the position of CEO first, and we'll go back when we have the chance—" Before Lauren could finish her words, an urgent ringing interrupted her. She looked at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.Jimmy's voice came urgently from the phone. "Madam, something's happened! Sally has appea

    How could Cedric possibly lose? Why was she feeling afraid, even terrified?Maia didn't understand, but she felt extremely uneasy. The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Baz also realized the seriousness of the situation. He wasn't his usual playful self, and the expression on his face was solemn.After a moment, he lowered his chin onto her head and uttered a single syllable, "Okay."Maia was taken aback. Upon hearing his agreement, her unease grew. She extended her arms, embraced him, and gently rubbed against him. He tightly wrapped his arms around her, but his gaze was intense. Clearly, he had decided.Upon reaching the Cloud Nine Residences, the apartment door opened. Seeing the mess inside, Maia's heart skipped a beat."Oh no!" Maia exclaimed, quickly heading in the direction of the bathroom.The toilet tank lid wasn't securely placed and was slightly off by a couple of centimeters. Maia was even more alarmed. As she prepared to open the toilet tank, Baz swiftly approache

    He held her head and kissed her intensely. It signified a farewell. However, it also seemingly signified that they wouldn’t see each other again.Maia panicked. She finally knew why she kept having this sense of restlessness. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but he didn’t wipe them away for her this time. He knew she wouldn’t close the car door once he did that.Could he bear to let her cry? The answer was a resounding no, but he had no choice this time. He stood outside the car after the kiss and smiled at her. It was his usual arrogant grin, but the love in his eyes was deeper than ever. He was an independent man and yet he was looking at her with as though she was all that ever mattered to him.She shook her head, but nothing came out of her mouth. It was as if everything she wanted to say got stuck and couldn’t work their way out.The snowstorm grew fiercer when the car door closed. His black suit was adorned with snow and his short, black hair was caked with snowflakes as it to

    “Firstborns?” How absurd.“Exactly.” Eddie nodded. “Don’t you find it ridiculous, Cedric? They’re still holding onto the primogeniture in this day and age. It’s a good thing my grandpa didn’t give a damn about it. He prioritizes capability over the birth order and chose my father to take over the family business.”Eddie gave Cedric a rundown of the family tree and proceeded to reveal to him some of the most confidential documents of the family as well as the Valentines Group.It was essentially the foundation and the vulnerability of the family and Eddie entrusted it to him. It was plain to see that he trusted his brother deeply. Perhaps it was because they were related by blood that Eddie decided to place his faith in him.On the other hand, Maia felt nothing but biting cold in Prismara Hill. She could turn on all of the heaters in the place and it’d still feel cold because he wasn’t there. She tried to take a hot bath to warm herself up.The first thing that came into her sight

    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
