Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 164 Stop Resisting

Maia looked at Hope and Buck’s reactions. Did these two really not see through her act? Was she that good at acting, or did Cedric act along really well?

It seems Cedric was even better at acting than she is...

After Cedric went to the next empty ward for a video meeting, Hope stayed in the room, chatting with Maia and patiently telling her about recent events. She managed to make Maia laugh several times.

Buck started chatting with Baz.

“Ms. Maia’s memories have reverted to two years ago, and there’s a lot of businessed at Starlight Entertainment waiting for her. | really don’t know what to do now. | wonder how long Miss Maia will need to get a grip on the conglomerate’s affairs?”

“Why are you worrying about that?” “| work at Starlight Entertainment, so how could | not worry? Miss Maia is my immediate superior!”

Baz took a few sips of soda and said again, “Just rest assured. Even if Ms. Maia never recalls anything, Mr. Cedric will take full responsibility for her..

“With Mr. Cedric in charge of Starlight Entertainment, what is there to be afraid of? It’s the other entertainment companies in the industry that should be scared.”

“Mr. Cedric really loves Ms. Maia.”

“Loves her to the point of willing to give up his life.” As Mr. Cedric’s assistant, Baz naturally had an insider’s view. “You know how Mr. Cedric got those scars on his back? He got burned rushing into a fire to save Ms. Mala.

“The long scar was from saving her in Eldertown, and the two gunshot wounds on his shoulder were also for Ms. Maia... Tell me, after all Mr. Cedric has done for Ms. Cedric, why

can’t she reconsider him?”

Buck looked at Baz in astonishment and then said, “Isn’t Ms. Maia reconsidering now? Losing her memory might be a turning point. As long as Mr. Cedric seizes this opportunity!”

“How could Mr. Cedric not seize it? You know, even before the anesthesia wore off, Mr. Cedric was already waiting by Ms. Maia’s side. | really hope Ms. Maia can feel Mr. Cedric’s deep affection!”

Baz, an outsider, felt heartbroken just watching. That once arrogant man, humbling himself over and over for her.

Then, Buck gently nudged him with his elbow. “Dude, do you understand love?”

Baz was stunned and shook his head. “I don’t understand, and | don’t want to. Love is a troublesome thing! It's never smooth Sailing from the start, it's full of twists and turns

“Hey, you're not thinking of getting involved in love, are you? If you can avoid it, avoid it. Look at our Mr. Cedric, he’s the most typical example.”

Baz had been with Cedric for many years and knew a thing or two about the past. Buck listened to Baz’s advice, took a look at Hope, and sighed softly.

When Cedric’s meeting ended, it was already late in the evening.

“Sis, Cedric is here, so I'll head back. | have an event tomorrow, and when it’s over, I’ll come to the hospital to see you! If you want anything, just text me, and I'll bring it for you.” Hope said warmly.

Maia nodded, “Take care.”

“Sure thing. Bucky will accompany me, so don’t worry.”

After that, Hope waved goodbye to Maia and left with Buck.

Once they were gone, Maia spoke first, “I heard from Buck that he forwarded all the company emails to you.” “Yeah,” Cedric replied.

“Forward the emails to me. There’s no need for you to interfere with Starlight Entertainment

matters.”

“What a heartless brat.”

Cedric’s heart skipped a beat, and he smiled helplessly. He was no stranger to her hurtful

words as he had grown accustomed to it. As long as it was her, no matter how she hurt him, he was willing. Cedric picked up the tablet on the sofa, entered the password, and handed it to her.

“Use mine to read it.”

Maia looked at the tablet he handed her, displaying his email content, including Starlight Entertainment emails and important information from HL Corporation.

She furrowed her delicate brows and asked, “Aren’t you afraid I'll go through the important emails from HL?”

He chuckled and indulgently said, “Babe, you can look through anything.”

Maia tightened her grip on the tablet slightly, pursed her lips, and said, “They’ve left. Now it’s +15 BONUS

After the words fell, Maia quickly focused on perusing the emails from Starlight Entertainment. After an unknown amount of time, his deep voice broke the silence in the

room. “| had acted along, you should give me a chance.”

Maia’s fingers, scrolling through the emails, froze. She looked up at him sitting on the sofa. Even in that relaxed posture, his presence was strong.

“What did you say? What chance?”

“A chance to love you again.”

Maia’s gaze shifted back to the email content. She didn’t respond. His deep voice echoed again, “Let assume you've agreed.”

Upon hearing this, Maia spoke again, her words harsh, “I've told you, whether | give you a chance or not, | won't love you again. So, giving you a chance or not is the same. Why bother... insisting on this chance?”

He sighed, “Giving me a chance means you no longer resist me. This chance required her consent.

Maia involuntarily raised her head. When their eyes met, his profound gaze resembled a terrifying black hole, as if it could engulf her in the next second. She averted her gaze, her grip on the tablet tightening once again.

After a moment, she managed to say, “I need time to think.”

“Sure,” he agreed. This performance would need to continue for a while, providing her with enough time to consider.

Tess wasn’t a fool, she conducted herself cleanly. The evidence they had wasn’t enough to prove anything. To expose her true colors, they had to gradually lead her into a trap!

During Maia’s hospital stay, Cedric accompanied her. It wasn’t until the day of her discharge. that she saw Tess and Errol at the hospital entrance.

Spotting Errol, Maia quickly waved and called out, “Errol!”

Errol immediately flashed a bright smile, waving back and gesturing, “Sis, I’ve been overseas and couldn’t come to the hospital. I'm really sorry! But I’m here to pick you up now that you’re being discharged. Let me take you home!”

+15 BONUS Chapter 165 She Doesn't Want to Follow You “Yeah, Maia, let's go home together,” Tess quickly added. Today was also her discharge day.

Then, Tess swiftly stepped forward, extending her hand to hold Maia’s, “Maia, come home with us. It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember the past. Errol and | will take good care of you. With us, your family, no one will dare to bully you.’

Tess’s words were like a veiled message for Cedric. Maia took note of every word. Was she truly so afraid of this man? Maia took the initiative to hold Cedric’s hand, “I'll go back with him.”

Maia’s statement left Tess momentarily stunned, “Maia, d—do you know what you’re saying?”

“Aunt, | know exactly what I’m saying.” Maia nodded, giving a confident reply. Furious, Tess exclaimed, “Maia, be more sensible! You can’t go back with him!”

“Why not?”

“I've told you before that he has hurt you. You're divorced, and you promised to keep your distance from him! This man will harm you. | won't let you go back with him. Come, let’s go. get in Errol’s car. He came just to pick us up.”

Tess had already grabbed Maia’s wrist and was pulling her to where Errol was.

“You're hurting me... Aunt...” Maia immediately cried out.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Cedric became infuriated. In the next moment, he pointed his gun at Tess, sternly commanding, “Let go!” This action shocked everyone present, and Tess turned pale, reluctantly releasing Maia’s hand.

After seeing Cedric holster his firearm, Tess took a deep breath and spoke with some anger, Mr. Cedric, you’re taking advantage of her vulnerability. Maia has amnesia now and can’t recall the past. So, you’re scheming to keep her by your side.

“You even pointed a gun at my head. What if Maia regains her memory? How do you think she'll feel? Do you really believe she'll stay with you after this? Your actions will only make her despise you more!”

“Whether she despises me or not is her business, and it has nothing to do with you,” Cedric replied coldly.

Tess seethed and said once again, “But she’s my niece. As her relative and elder, don’t | have the right to take her away?” “She doesn’t want to go with you,” Cedric asserted confidently.

Tess turned to Maia, “Maia, how about going back with me? I'll tell you everything about the
