Semua Bab Love's Masquerade: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Anastasia blushed. "Uncle, why are you bringing this up?"Sure, she liked Cedric, but the way he treated her left her devastated. Her affection seemed worthless in his eyes. She couldn't discern where she went wrong or why she couldn't capture his attention.First, it was Cynthia—and now Faye. She couldn't understand how she fell short of the two. Cynthia's case was understandable because she had saved Cedric once. Consequently, he was willing to take care of her, pamper her, and provide everything she needed. But why Faye? What did she have that Anastasia didn't?The laughter from the other end interrupted Anastasia's train of thought. "Haha, you've grown up now. If you like someone, you should go after them."Biting her lip, Anatasia felt aggrieved and sniffed. "But he only has eyes for Faye. He went to great lengths for her sake. He even obtained those expensive diamonds despite knowing how difficult it'd be. If it weren't for you, Uncle, I'm afraid those diamonds would ha

In a dilapidated and abandoned shack, Astrid found herself thrown onto a meager bed after being taken away from the police station.Initially, when someone came to take her away, she thought she was being rescued. However, upon seeing Anastasia, she realized she was merely brought to a different hell. Anastasia grew up in a gang and was skilled in fighting. Although her brother had turned over a new leaf and become the CEO of a proper business, her parents still managed the largest gang in Jeorgia. Hence, Anastasia remained the feared female overlord of the area. Astrid had a history of crossing paths with Anastasia, leveraging her role as the person in charge of Allure Designs with the support of the Lynch family.The two were enemies, and things didn't settle down until two years ago. Anastasia orchestrated Astrid's removal from the police station and then proceeded to bring them here to their current location, leaving Astrid to ponder her intentions."What do you want?" A

Upon Faye's return from the warehouse, she discovered Cedric patiently occupying her office. Taking a step inside, she observed him comfortably settled in her chair, examining the items scattered across her desk.Closing the distance, his expression shifted from surprise to eager anticipation. A radiant smile graced his face as soon as he locked eyes with Faye.Faye felt her breath caught in her chest, her heart racing with just one look from Cedric. The intensity of his look left her wondering if he held some enchanting power over her—an irresistible force that seemed to tug at the very core of her being. Faye was rendered useless against his charm.She took a deep breath and cleared her throat before walking over to him. "Are you tired of being the CEO and decided to take on the role of chief designer instead?A mischievous smirk played on Cedric's lips as he smoothly pulled her into his arms, nuzzling against her neck. "I much prefer just being with the chief designer."She

"This is good. Don't eat cold food, have it while it's hot. I'll eat your ice cream for you. Have the soup instead."Recently, Freesia introduced new dishes to their lineup, and Faye hadn't had the opportunity to taste them yet. Hence, when Anastasia suggested coming here, Faye didn't refuse. After sitting down, Cedric poured water into Faye's cup, handed her cutleries, and even picked dishes for her as if there were no one else in the room—completely disregarding Anastasia who sat across the table. As for Lincoln, he was completely ignored as well. The sight of Cedric serving Faye like she was a queen was so majestic that he couldn't help but stare in admiration. Cedric, who was usually distant, exuded a cold air and unparalleled dominance most of the time. Yet he became a mere doting husband when in the presence of Faye.Lincoln had always wondered if Faye and Cedric would get into lots of fights since both of them had strong personalities.In this moment, he came to the rea

Knowing that Faye disliked the smell of smoke, Cedric rarely smoked in front of her—but this time, he couldn't resist.It seemed that those around Cedric assumed there was something more between him and Cynthia simply because he never refuted or publicly clarified his relationship with Cynthia. Initially, Frederic intended to match them because Cynthia saved Cedric's life. Although the Libra family couldn't compare to the Shaw family, they were still a reputable family in Jeorgia. If Cedric and Cynthia were together, it would be seen as an ideal match.However, Cedric refused for one simple reason: Cynthia was still young, and marrying someone who had saved you—in the absence of love—wouldn't be settling a debt but rather taking advantage of a situation.Even if Cynthia was willing to marry him, Cedric didn't want to get married at that moment. If he were to marry, it should be based on a certain extent of mutual understanding.Cedric was insistent, and Frederic didn't continue
