Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 105 A Text

Maia knew that Tess was doing what she thought was best for Maia. However, this was not fair

to Hope.

“I've overheard your conversations. Hope had never asked me for favors, nor has she told me about her contract dispute.” “Never? Then why would there be such news all over the internet?” Tess was questioned in surprise.

“They're all just tabloid rumors. Starlight Entertainment has never contacted Hope privately, nor did we offer to settle her contract dispute. You should stop reading that nonsense. They're all fake!”

Hope had never brought up the issue of her contract dispute with Maia. Maia had found out about this through Hope’s manager. Maia had planned to help Hope with her problem, but before she could take action, the tabloids had already spread the news around.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just glad that they’re all fake! However, | would still have to remind her of the horrible things her mother had done to us!” Tess’s words were sharp and hurtful.

Buck had been standing outside for a while after returning with the tea Hope wanted. He did not want to intrude on their family disputes, but after hearing Tess’s last comments, he could no longer put up with them.

“Aunt Tess, you should filter your words. You’re only making matters worse for Ms. Maia. | know that you love her, so you wouldn't want her to be caught in this fight, right?” Buck reasoned carefully, trying his best not to anger both parties.

Tess finally realized that she had made the situation complicated. She immediately tried to ease the tension, saying, “I'm not trying to make this difficult for you, Maia. It’s just that | don’t trust Yvette’s daughter.”

“Have you forgotten how she treated you and Errol? Especially on that rainy day? | could never forget that!”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I'm so sorry.” Hope apologized as she struggled to stand upright. “I’m truly sorry for everything my mother has done. When I’m discharged, | would like to visit Aunt Rosa’s grave.

“| know that it’s too late, but | would like to make up for my mother’s mistakes. | am sorry.”

“We don’t need your apology or for you to tarnish my sister’s grave!” Tess stomped off in a fit.

Hope did not know what else she could do aside from expressing her apology over and over again.

As Maia glanced at Hope, she could not help but feel bad. She left to chase after Tess.

“Aunt Tess, wait!” Maia called out to her in the corridor.

“Maia, | know that you wouldn’t like me doing this, but it’s for your good! | would never do anything to hurt you.”

“| know you only want the best for me, but have you considered Hope’s feelings? Her mother had just committed suicide. She also just found out that her mother had killed someone.

“If this had happened to you, how would you have taken in all this negative information? What had she done to deserve all of this?”

Tess was rendered speechless momentarily as Maia continued, “She wasn’t given a choice to choose her parents, nor did she take part in any of this. How could we just put the blame on her because of her family? It’s not fair.”

“Maia, life isn’t fair! Indeed, we can’t choose who our parents are, but Hope would still have to bear the burden of her mother’s mistakes since she is Yvette’s daughter.’

“Let's not continue fighting. I’m going back to the winery now. You should return to the office too. As long as you keep your distance from her, | won’t cause further trouble. | cannot bear to lose another person | love!” Tess concluded before she turned and left toward the

direction of the elevators.

Maia looked at Tess’s retreating shadow and sighed. ‘Aunt Tess isn’t entirely wrong.’

She smacked her lips and glanced toward Hope’s room as Rosa’s words echoed in her head.

‘Maia, don’t hate Hope. She was not able to choose her background, nor did she want to be a

child born out of wedlock. Let the resentment from the past stay in the past.‘

While she was deep in her thoughts, a voice came from behind. It was Wesley. “Hi, Ms. Maia. Here to see Hope?” Maia was drawn back to reality by his voice as she looked at him and nodded.

“I'm here to see Hope as well. She would be able to leave the hospital in two days! By the way, the assistant you sent to look after Hope is doing such a great job that she has even gained a few pounds.

“Unfortunately, she'll have to go back on a diet once she has fully recovered,” Wesley added helplessly.

“It's okay if she gains some weight; I’m sure her fans will understand.”

“Her fans would, as they've been asking her to gain some weight over the years. However, it’s her management team that’s difficult...

“Ms. Maia, if it isn’t too much to ask, | hope you can help Hope settle her issue with the company! It’s a 15-year contract; they’re trying to take advantage of her!

“I've been working with her for a while, and it pains me to see her having to work such horrible hours. She would have to work until past midnight and start her job at 7 am. I’m worried about her health.”

Maia continued to remain silent as she recalled how angry Tess had been a few moments ago.

If she were to help Hope with this and get her to join Starlight Entertainment, this news would be the talk of town. Maia was worried that her aunt would be hurt by all this, but at the same time, she wanted to help Hope.

Seconds later, she smiled at Wesley and said, “I still have a meeting to attend, so I'll take my leave now.” “Sure, thanks for coming, Ms. Maia!” Wesley nodded and bid her goodbye.

When Maia entered the elevator, she took out her cell phone and sent
