Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 74 Bad Idea

Baz couldn’t help but wonder how much Maia hated to be with Cedric.

Hearing what he said, Cedric grew upset. The thought of her sitting in another man’s car further infuriated him. “Sir, it seems like she doesn’t like you-

Cedric angrily threw his phone at him.

“Sir!” Baz quickly caught it.

“| should gain her sympathy? The more pitiful, the better?”

Baz had told him to win her back by gaining her sympathy, but it didn’t work.

“It didn’t work, huh?” He let out an awkward chuckle as Cedric glared at him.

The next day, when Maia emerged from the elevator at Starlight Entertainment, Hope hurried

over.

“Why did you leave so abruptly yesterday? You must be out in the rain, huh? Did you catch a cold?”

Having

catch a cold these few days. Keep these, just in case.”

Maia said stiffly, “Thanks.”

“| heard from Dad that you agreed to let my mom off the hook?” Hope said hesitantly, “You made a deal with him, huh?” “| did,” Maia answered.

“I'm sorry, Maia,” she said earnestly. “I don’t know what kind of deal you made, but | know how hard it is to forgive someone who hurt you. I’m truly sorry you had to do this.” how hard it is to forgive someone who hu

As Yvette was her mother, Hope was in a difficult position.

“You don’t have to apologize. | was only making a deal.”

Hope trailed behind, apologizing the whole time. “I’m so sorry, Maia. Dad had to have used

She held Maia’s hand earnestly. “Anyway, | promise | won’t let my mom hurt you ever again.”

Maia knew Hope meant what she said, but she was still Yvette’s daughter. What Homer said yesterday complicated Maia’s feelings for her even more.

“It's about time. You should go pick her up.”

Hope nodded. “Take care, Maia.”

Gazing after her, Maia felt tears and said sadly, “Enjoy the family reunion.” After Hope left, Buck entered the office carrying an exquisite-looking box.

“Hope made these for you. She says you can just throw it away as long as you don’t do it in front of her.” Buck placed the box before Maia.

She opened it and saw cookies inside, but she had no appetite.

Seeing her close the lid, Buck thought she wanted to throw it away. He planned to eat the cookies, so Hope’s efforts wouldn't go to waste.

“Well, let me throw it for you.”

Maia stopped Buck from taking it. “Who says I’m going to throw it away?”

Buck stifled a smile. “I was just trying to be helpful.”

“Don’t you have work to do?”

“Of course | do!” Buck grinned and quickly left with the documents signed by her.

Maia looked at the cookie box. Perhaps they would be good friends if Hope weren't Yvette’s. daughter.

Maia caught herself and started to go through the documents on her desk. Suddenly, there were knocks on the door. Jordan entered, carrying a stack of documents. “Hey, Jordan.”

He handed the stack of documents to Maia. “There are some financial discrepancies here. | think Phil and Theo owe us an explanation.”
