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.

“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

Baz slapped himself on the forehead. “Right! She could have killed herself three years ago. Unless, of course, she was murdered! Who could have wanted her dead?”“To frame her,” Cedric drawled. Baz could finally see the bigger picture. “I heard that Ms. Maia was trying to recover the surveillance footage of her mother’s death. The culprit must have heard about this. So, they needed a scapegoat to cover their tracks, and Yvette was the best candidate!” Since Yvette used to be Homer’s mistress, it was easy to paint her as the villain.“First, it was Hope and Yvette’s accident. Then, Theo attacked Ms. Maia, and Yvette committed suicide. Everything happened in a single day, and this indirectly created chaos. “Furthermore, Yvette did have a reason to kill Rosa Burgess. No one would’ve been able to notice that she was a distraction!” “As long as the culprit is afraid, they will make a mistake eventually,” Cedric smirked. Baz nodded. The truth would be exposed. It's just a matter
Will You Marry Me, Again? Chapter 86 Just You and Me
”We’ve seen the sunrise and walked through the snow, just you and me.” Cedric’s comment had already garnered a wave of discussions and likes. Maia could only frown in disapproval as she read his comment.She recalled that this was something she had said to him a long time ago. ‘If a couple has walked through a snowstorm together, it means they’ll grow old together.’She did not expect him to remember this.Cedric’s particular comment was being analyzed by netizens, who eagerly threw out random speculations as they saw fit.“Sunrise symbolizes the start of a day and snow is the end of the four seasons. Everyone, try to read between the lines!”“Here's my two cents. Mr. Cedric is trying to say that they’ve seen the sunrise and experienced the first snow of the season together. They shared first times together and were each other's firsts! How romantic!”“Just from his words alone, I can tell he loves Ms. Maia very much. But why did they get a divorce? It's such a shame! I wonde
