"Rita is your mother. Why did you help me collect evidence? You should be well aware of what that painting signifies. Once it falls into my hands, I'll investigate every detail and leave no trace untouched. "I will make Rita pay the price for hurting me. As her son, you should have destroyed that evidence to protect your mother. But why did you pass that painting to me through Vicky?""In my heart, no one can compare to you!"This seemingly simple statement could mean so much. Was she more important to him than his own mother? Did he know what he was saying?"Am I really that important to you?" she insisted.With his remaining sanity, he calmly said, "I've said it before, you are more important than my own existence. I live for you, and if I die, it will be for you."He regretted his memory loss, as losing her made him even more remorseful. Now that she had returned, how could he not cherish her? However, his affection troubled her, and his love made her unhappy. The rising

"I saw nothing. I was looking at my phone just then because a message came in." Hope knew Victoria's temper and certainly would not confirm what she had witnessed just now."Ah, you..." Aiken was speechless with anger.Hope quickly intervened, "Okay, okay, stop quarreling. You're both my friends, and let's give each other some space to settle the misunderstanding. Now, the most important thing is that my sister hasn't come down from the twelfth floor. Is Fiona going to be tied up here all night? How should we deal with her?"Hope hit the nail on the head with her words. Victoria quickly took out her phone and checked the time. "It's already early morning, and there's been no news at all?""No, I need to go up and see. What if Cedric attacked Ms. Maia? I can help too!" Aiken was ready to leave."Stop!" Victoria looked at Aiken, who was about to leave, and immediately stopped him. "What help can you provide? Will Cedric, such a formidable person, even bother with someone as insignificant

Cedric saw the mark on her fair skin as she pulled the blanket. It was proof of just how crazy they were last night.At the next moment, his brow furrowed. He could hear hurried footsteps. Then, someone swung open his door. “Are you alright, Mr. Cedric?”Baz took the earliest flight to Maya Cove when he couldn’t get through to his boss for the entire night. Cedric moved fast in the split second Baz was opening the door. He tugged at the blanket so it would conceal her feet.Cedric looked so gloomy that he was about to eat someone alive. Baz didn’t exactly realize it. He thought he could just make out a woman sleeping on his bed. Shocked, he asked his boss, “Did some lady get on your bed again, Mr. Cedric? I’ll kick her out right now!”Baz was very faithful to his duty. However, Cedric gave him a terrifying look that made him freeze. “It’ll be the last thing you do!”Baz was even more confused by that. He thought Cedric loved some other lady now. “Get out!” Cedric shouted c

At that moment, Cedric pulled Maia into his arms and said assertively, “Why did you call him dear? You can only call me that!”Maia said nothing.“You flashed him such a sweet smile too. I’m going to wreck him later!”Maia blinked and looked at him surprisingly. ‘Is he jealous? Was that all it took?’“I called him dear. That’s all.”“That’s all?” She certainly made light of the situation! She could only call him that and no one else! No one deserved her calling them dear.“That’s right.” She nodded solemnly, “I simply called him dear. I didn’t do anything else…”Something shifted in Cedric’s eyes. Obviously, he was jealous. He took a few brisk steps toward her and pulled her into his chest, “What else do you plan on doing?”Maia laughed when she saw the burning jealousy in his eyes, “Nothing. I called him that because I needed his help with something.”“I’m your husband, and I’m right here. Why didn’t you ask me for help?”“You’re not my husband, Cedric. Do I have to repeat

Maia was startled, her face reddening. He saw it, and his smile widened, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat later?”“G-Give me some space, Cedric.” He was just so imposing, especially when they were like that. She felt as if she had nowhere to hide. She even sensed he wanted to fuse with her if he could.“What’s the matter? Is your husband too charming?”“How have I never known you’re this narcissistic, Cedric?” Maia kept a distance from him. Then, she muttered, “I didn’t use to have a chance to get close to you. You didn’t have time for me. It’s only natural that I didn’t know this about you.”Cedric heard her mumblings. She was traumatized by what happened in the past. It was painful for him to see her like that, too. He frowned and said, “You’re the only one who could get close to me. From here on out, I’ll make time for you to know me on a deeper level.” Cedric gave her a sly smile. He emphasized the word ‘deeper.’ It was clear what he meant.“Eww! I don’t want to
