Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 274 You Keep Me Warm
Maia kicked Rita into the pond. Instantly, water splashed everywhere. Since Rita could not swim, she struggled in the water in an
attempt to stay afloat, unknowingly making herself
sink faster.
Maia watched Rita’s miserable state, continuously choking on water, and just coldly smirked. Rita, compared to what you did to
me, what’s happening now is nothing. It’s just a drop in the
ocean.‘
Maia’s gaze became even colder. When Rita ran out of strength to struggle, Maia turned her attention to the bodyguards
standing aside, hesitant to interfere.
“You can go and save her now.”
Leaving Rita to die here would be letting her off too easily. Besides, if she died where Hans was recuperating, it would be
disrespectful, not to mention how it would ruin the picturesque pavilion. The bodyguard immediately jumped into the water and
quickly pulled Rita out.
Rita was completely drenched. She comically resembled a drowned rat, but she was mostly unharmed, despite being exhausted
by what she had endured.
“Take Ms. Rita back to the old mansion,” Fernando ordered as he looked at Rita, who was lying on the ground, now fully
conscious. His instructions echoed Hans’s intentions.
The bodyguard nodded. He attempted to help Rita up, but she forcefully pushed him away. Even in her current state, she
maintained her haughty demeanor.
Today was evidently no longer a war between her and Hans!
She looked towards Maia, adopted a condescending posture and said arrogantly, “Watch out, Maia. Everything that you did
today will be repaid a thousand times over in the future. I’ll show you what happens to those who dare cross me! Just you wait!”
Maia just observed Rita’s arrogant appearance, finding it extremely laughable. Her fair face remained calm, still carrying the cold

smile from before. However, just as Rita was about to turn away, Maia accelerated her pace, swiftly approaching.

Witnessing this unexpected move, Rita was startled and took several steps back in fear. Maia stopped in her tracks, still smiling.
“I’m just stretching my legs. After all, I had to restrain you and kick you into the pond just now. My limbs are a bit sore. Did I scare
you?” Maia said with a sneer.
Rita was left speechless, her face turning an extremely unflattering shade of green, and she looked incredibly miserable.
“Just you wait, Maia Burgess!” With these words, Rita briskly walked toward the direction of

Unknown to all, under the shade of the trees outside Beverley Manor, the man sitting in the luxury car witnessed everything. He
saw how the love of his life had defeated his mother.
She had done exceptionally well.
“Mr. Cedric,” Baz said, observing the smiling Cedric seated in the back. “Shouldn’t we go inside?”
“No, let’s go back to the office.”
The love of his life handled everything well, and he had no need to intervene.
“Mr. Cedric, would you like to visit the old mansion? It seems your mother was quite frightened just now and endured quite a bit
of trouble.”
Cedric sneered, “Such people don’t deserve care.”.

Cedric had long stopped considering her as a mother. No one could be generous and forgiving
to such a ruthless and cruel woman. Reciprocity dictated that, given the harm she inflicted on
Maia in the past, she should have expected today’s outcome. It was only fair, after all.
Hearing Cedric’s words, Baz immediately understood his intentions.
“Mr. Cedric, the charter flight is arranged. It’s sent as an invitation from the Horizon Awards Committee to Starlight
Entertainment. Starlight Entertainment has no reason to refuse, so all the artists participating in the Horizon Awards, including
the president, will take this charter flight to Maya Cove. You’ll be on the same flight.”
Cedric’s lips curled up slightly, offering a brief response, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
He was going to see her again. He wished he could see her twenty–four hours a day. Even today, watching her from afar, silently

guarding her, was comforting to him. Growing up in a callous environment, her presence had brought warmth when they first
met. After losing her memory, he plunged back into that icy abyss. Now, with her memories restored, she brought
warmth once more.
“Maia Burgess, you are like a fire that keeps me warm.

Cedric’s lips parted slightly, and his seductive, deep voice was filled with tender affection for
her.

Sitting in the front seat, Baz kept his back straight and dared not make a sound. He quickly drove the car away from Beverley
Manor, leaving so quietly that it was as if they had never
even been there.
Meanwhile, inside Beverley Manor, the Hans was obviously not done savoring the scene from earlier. He continued to gaze at
Maia, not uttering a word, just smiling incessantly.

“Grandpa?” Maia felt the affectionate gaze of the old man and called out.
Only then did Hans come back to his senses. Immediately, he clapped his hands for Maia.
“Ah, my girl, you were truly amazing! You handled Rita so well, rendering her powerless and making her leave in a sorry state. I
can’t help but admire you. In just over a year, our gentle and delicate Maia has transformed from a white flower into a flowery
knight!”
Hans’s words carried a hint of amusement, but both in his tone and expression, there was deep admiration and approval for
Maia.
Maia stared at Hans, unsure how to respond. How could she explain that her current state was thanks to the influence of the
Larkin family? His warmth made it difficult for her to say anything that might hurt his feelings. In the end, she offered a simple
response. “Perhaps it’s the trials. Trials can shape a person and, at the same time, change them.”
Hans agreed with Maia’s words, nodding. “You’ve grown up, my girl. You’re no longer the quiet, submissive child you used to be.
Growing up is good, it means you can protect yourself. I’m getting old, and I can’t continue to protect you as I did before.”
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? Now it’s my turn to protect you. Regardless of my situation with Cedric, what we have
between us hasn’t changed.”
