Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 235 To Invite Disaster “Mr. Cedric, we're rooting for you!” Netizens continued to post their supportive comments and started numerous discussions about their relationship on Twitter.

Close to the entrance of Starlight Entertainment, Cedric smiled sadly as he glanced at the fallen drones. He continued to wallow in his feelings of regret about how he had treated Maia in the past. No matter how hard he tried, it seemed like she would never accept him again.

Baz just lowered his head and sighed as he witnessed the unpleasant aftermath. He whispered to himself quietly, “Women can be so cruel.”

Moments later, Cedric instructed Baz to clean up the mess and walked to his car. If this was her way of making him leave, he would comply.

Maia was standing right next to the window as she noticed his car pulling out and driving off. Maia shifted her gaze away and smiled sadly.

After they were done with work, Nigel suggested, “Why don’t | wait for you to get off work and we can go look for a new phone together?”

“Sorry, Nigel. There are some personal matters that | need to attend to.”

“What is it? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“It's about my aunt.’

“Right. | heard that she went to Osttahl with you. | haven’t seen her since you came back. Maybe | should come with you too.” “No, there’s no need for that.”

Nigel looked at her with a confused expression as Maia clarified, “Aunt Tess is dead.”

Nigel was stunned by her answer as he struggled to speak, “When did this happen? I’ve never heard you mention this. What happened at Osttahl? | should’ve known that it was dangerous over there,”

Maia looked at him calmly as she said, “Nigel, let the past stay in the past. Please stop asking questions. | don’t want to recall what happened.” Maia did not want to elaborate further as it was too complicated.

Nigel nodded, “Fine. If you don’t want me to, then | won't. | don’t want to hurt you. Do you need any help? | can come with you.”

Maia continued to reject his offer as she did not want to be involved with Nigel. She knew that he liked her, but she only saw him as a friend. She could not reciprocate his feelings, so she

Nigel was hurt by Maia’s continued rejections. However, he tried to hide it by reminding her gently that he would always be here when she needed him.

Maia smiled at him in return. “Thank you. I’m also counting on you to win this lawsuit.” “I'm just doing my job, you don’t have to thank me.” Nigel wished that Maia would stop treating him like an obligation.

“By the way, Lonnie told me that his daughter is coming home soon. He asked me if | had anyone good to introduce to his daughter and | immediately thought of you! His daughter is very beautiful and capable. Why don’t you go see her?” Maia suggested earnestly.

Nigel's face fell as he tried to decline her offer. “Are you trying to play matchmaker? You know, right? That I’m-” Maia interrupted him, “Nigel, you shouldn’t be wasting time on me. There are so many better options out there.” “Maia, you shouldn't sell yourself short!”

“| know you mean well, Nigel. However, | wish that you would just give up.

“Maia, | can wait. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. I'll wait for you,” Nigel said, stubbornly.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“But | don’t want you to wait! | know you would just tell me that you’re doing this willingly but I’m not a heartless person. | know you're too kind to me and this would only make me feel sorry for you.”

Nigel knew that this was yet another rejection. “If | agree to meet her, would you stop feeling guilty?”

Maia shook her head. “I hope that you can find your own happiness.”

“Fine. I'll meet with her.”

Maia breathed a sigh of relief as she added, “I'll give Lonnie a call and get back to you about the time and place.” “Sure, as long as it’s what you want me to do, | will always make time for it.’

Nigel's statement made Maia uncomfortable. It was as if he had agreed to do it only because she had asked him to. She knew that he would not be able to give up so easily, but she had hope that he would eventually understand.

She could not love him. No matter how long he was willing to wait, Maia would still not love him. Instead of giving him false hope, she wanted to end this once and for all.

“| look forward to you telling me where to go and when to meet her. Now, I'll be heading back to my office. Don’t forget to take a break now and then even when you have a lot of work.” Nigel stood up and bid Maia farewell.
