Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 77 She Was Lucky
Maia was alarmed to hear Hope’s desperate plea for help.“Where are you?”She sounded like she was somewhere noisy.“I… I…”Maia asked, “Hope, where are you? Can you hear me? Hope!”However, no matter how many times she called her name, Hope didn’t reply. Keeping the call connected, Maia grabbed her keys and dashed out of her office.“Where are you going, Maia?” Buck asked, as he saw her rushing away and quickly went after her.“Hope is in trouble.”“What?” Buck was alarmed. “Let me drive you!”Maia looked at her phone, but there was still no reply from Hope.She murmured into the phone, “Don’t worry. I’m coming for you now.”At that moment, a strange voice came through. “Are you Ms. Hope Burgess’s sister?”“Yes, I am!” Maia answered immediately.“This is the police. Ms. Hope and her mother were involved in a car accident and have been sent to the hospital. That’s where you’ll find them.”“Thanks! I’ll head there straight away.”Knowing where Hope was, Maia calmed down a little. “Let’
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 78 Footsteps
Hearing this, Hope said, “Can you please help me make a tweet? Tell them that I’m fine, and have some food delivered to them, okay?”“Sure, I’ll get it done.”“Thanks, Wesley.”Wesley nodded with a smile. “I’ll leave you two alone then.”After Wesley went away, Maia asked, “What the hell happened?”“I went to pick up my mom, and on our way back, a car sped out from an alley and crashed into ours. That man drove very fast, as if he did it on purpose. It was so scary.”Hope felt scared thinking about it. “Did you see his face?”Hope shook her head. “No, he was wearing a mask. It all happened so fast, I couldn’t get a good look at him.”Maia narrowed her eyes. Why would anyone wear a mask on a hot day like this?“Hope! Hope!” The door slammed open, and Homer almost stumbled as he stormed in. “Are you okay? How the hell did it happen?”Seeing him so anxious, Hope quickly said, “I’m fine, Dad. Have you seen Mom yet? How is she?”“She’s fine, and all she needs is rest. Thank God
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 79 Don’t Be Afraid
She gradually slowed down her pace and glanced to see who was behind her using the rear-view mirror of a car parked nearby.As she expected, a man wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask was following her.She found his frame to be familiar.Who was he?Feeling anxious, she didn’t dwell on it as she knew the man had to be watching her every move.Not wanting to give herself away, she didn’t dare to quicken her pace now.Just as she turned a corner, she swiftly removed her high heels and threw them to the other side to make some noise before hiding behind a pillar.Hearing the clatter, the man hurried toward the shoes. Seizing the moment, Maia made a run for her car.The car lights flashed a few times as she unlocked her car with the key fob. However, when she was about to open the car door, a gunshot was heard, followed by hurried footsteps.Her plan had failed!Biting her lower lip, Maia saw the man charging over and ducked behind her car so that he couldn’t shoot her.
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 80 Must I Let Go?
“Wait here.”Baz would arrive soon with the bodyguards. Cedric knew he had to buy some time for Maia.Shaking her head, she said earnestly, “No, it’s too dangerous. He has a gun!”Cedric saw her gripping his palm with both hands and smiled. “I’ll be fine.”He sounded casual and confident, but Maia knew how dangerous it was. “Cedric—”Before she could say anything further, the door was closed, and she was left alone in the cramped and dark room.Peering out through a narrow gap, she watched Cedric move away.Still feeling the warmth of his palm, she covered her mouth to stop herself from making any sound lest she would spoil his plan. ’Pull yourself together, Maia! You must not cry or make any sound…’She kept telling herself.However, she couldn’t hold back her tears. Suddenly, she heard a flurry of rapid footsteps.Maia saw Theo chasing after Cedric.As she was the one Theo wanted to kill, she knew she couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Biting her lips, Maia glanced arou
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 81 Are You Alright?
Maia was sure she would never mistake her cousin’s voice. She could still recall what Theo said in the basement parking lot. “Ms. Maia, thank you for your cooperation. I’m sure you’re drained. Please let us take over from here.”“Thank you. I’ll be counting on you.” Maia nodded at them. Moments later, she turned to look at the man still holding her hand. Her annoyance grew as she snapped, “How long do you plan on holding me?” “If I could choose, I’d say forever.” He smiled playfully at her irritation. He could not help but think that she looked cute when upset.Baz entered the room seconds later. “Have you found out who they were?” Cedric asked.Baz shook his head apologetically. “The person on the other end was cautious. The call was made from a burner phone. We couldn’t trace who they were.” “What call?” Maia looked at them in confusion. She could not make out what Baz was referring to. “Ms. Maia, you didn’t know? Mr. Cedric received a call that a man would threaten you with a
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 82 You’re a Suspect, Too
To Maia, the most terrifying thing in life was to receive warmth when you’re vulnerable. When Cedric comforted her, she felt her tough front crumble. Homer was rushing over while yelling Yvette’s name. When he saw Yvette’s lifeless body, he immediately ran forward. The police stopped him. “Mr. Homer, this scene is cordoned off to the public. You’re not allowed to enter. Please cooperate with us.” “We already made plans for tomorrow. I was supposed to bring her breakfast. How would she just…!” Homer could not believe what he saw as he cradled his head and sat against the wall. “We found a will in her drawer admitting to the murder of Rosa Burgess.” “What murder? Why would my ex-wife be involved in this?“Yvette Burgess has admitted to pushing Rosa Burgess down the building, causing her death.” Homer was stunned beyond words. He kept shaking his head and denying, “That’s not possible! Yvette had no reason to do that! Rosa always had bodyguards surrounding her. Even if she
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 83 Let Me Love You
When Maia admitted that Hope was her sister, she finally realized how much Hope had meant to her. Even though she was Yvette’s daughter, it would not change the fact that she was family. Hope was immediately sent back to her room as the doctor came to check on her condition. Deep in thought, Maia stared at Hope’s pale face. Everything had happened all at once. First, it was Hope and Yvette’s accident, then her attack at the hospital, and lastly, Yvette’s suicide. These all seemed too coincidental. It was just like a movie, yet it happened in their lives. “Doctor, how is she?”“The reason she fainted was because her body was still quite weak. Furthermore, she was too emotional a while ago. You don’t have to worry too much. As long as she gets enough rest, she’ll be fine.” The doctor sighed and added, “I can only do so much. Ms. Hope needs to learn how to cope with the grief of losing her mother, or else this would only lead to more severe conditions.”Maia nodded and thanked t
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 84 We’ll Send You an Invitation
Cedric entered the driver’s seat and instructed Maia to get on. He could not let her drive them back when he was the one who brought them here in the first place. Besides, she was exhausted from everything that had happened. Maia knew arguing was pointless, so she just accepted her fate. Cedric fastened her seat belt when she was about to buckle it. The drive back to the city was quiet, as Maia thought deeply. Cedric’s last words about not wanting her to continue investigating echoed in her head. What exactly did he mean by that? Maia felt that she was missing something. Looking at the jewelry box on her lap, she could not brush off the uneasiness. When they got to the Cloud Nine Residence, Maia reminded Cedric before she got out with her jewelry box, “I’ve paid my debt. So, there’s no need for us to be seeing each other again.” Instead of giving her a clear answer, he said, “You should go.”Maia turned to leave without a word. As she entered the building, she bumped into a group

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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 692 Baz Is a Coward
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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 691 You Don’t Scare Me
“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
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 688 What About This?
“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!
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 687 The Airhead
“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
