NovelAppChapter 224, The Way You Runaway is Cute
“Cedric, that has nothing to do with me. You don’t need to become anything for my sake. I cannot bear nor do 1 want to bear
such a burden.”
Maia smiled slightly at Cedric and spoke in a very formulaic manner, “I just want to ask if you are interested in Mykonos Studio.
After all, you mentioned earlier that the CEO, Victor, has some issues with the HL. Corporation. I had investigated Victor, and he
owns 60% of the shares of Mykonos Studio. After I take over, I will give you 40% of the shares as a thank for saving me today.”
She didn’t like owing favors, especially not to him.
“Okay.”
“In that case, please wait for good news, Mr. Cedric.” After saying this, Maia looked at the driver in the driver’s seat and said,
“Please drop me off at the next intersection.”
The driver quickly glanced at Cedric through the rearview mirror, seeking his opinion. Without Cedric’s approval, the driver didn’t
dare to agree.

Maia also understood this point and looked at Cedric. “How about it? Are you going to detain me? Force me to go back to
Prismara Hill? Such behavior will only make me dislike you more. A smart person like you wouldn’t do that, right?”
“Take her back to Cloud Nine Residences.”
In all things, patience and persistence were essential. Pursuing a wife couldn’t be rushed or
forced.
“As you wish.” The driver responded quickly and turned the car around towards Cloud Nine Residences.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the apartment where Maia lived. As soon as Maia got out of the car, Cedric grabbed her delicate
wrist.
“Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Cedric?” Maia tried to break free from his grip, while asking.
Cedric frowned since grabbing her hand was a subconscious action. He didn’t want her to leave him, but when she asked if he
had anything to say, he had to find a suitable reason.
The former her would approach him willingly as soon as she saw him. Now, she tried her best to keep a distance from him. On
with her.
“Remember my shares.”

“Rest assured, Mr. Cedric. As soon as I take over Mykonos Studio, I’ll fulfill my promise. After all, I have always kept my
promises.”
Although Maia’s words sounded calm, there was a hidden meaning in them.
In the future, I will accompany you to see the world.”
Maia didn’t look at him again, pushing away his hand that held her wrist, and chuckled.
After that, she didn’t look back, walking towards the corridor. Instead of closing the car door, he watched her slender figure, and
his heart tightened.
“It’s all my fault,” he sighed, smiling bitterly.
He had said these four words to himself countless times. Cedric saw her enter her home through the surveillance cameras in the
corridor, confirming her safe return, and then he prepared to close the car door.
However, at this moment, several elderly women who had just finished shopping and carried 1 bags back home saw Cedric. One
of the women immediately exclaimed, “Young man, it’s you! Are you escorting that young girl home again?”
“Do you recognize me?”
The lady nodded, “Of course, I recognize you. You’re much better looking than most male celebrities. You looked completely
different when you look at that girl. I can tell that the young girl also has feelings for you.”
“She has feelings for me?”
“Yes, did you offend the young girl? She has been living alone here.”
Cedric nodded, “I am asking for a remarriage.”
“Oh, young man, you have to work hard on this. Healing a wounded heart is difficult,
especially when she has to return to the man who hurt her. You are a handsome young man. How could you hurt the heart of
such a beautiful young girl?”
“Young man, owning up to your mistakes and changing is good. Keep it up! We’re looking forward to hearing good news from
you!”
Cedric nodded slightly, showing a rare smile. “I will.”
Maia was observing the situation from upstairs, feeling puzzled. Cedric had never engaged in conversations with strangers,
especially with elderly ladies like those below. He was an arrogant man who seldom spoke much.

However, it seemed like there was a lively discussion happening downstairs.
Maia watched for quite a while. Sensing that someone was staring at him, Cedric raised his head and locked eyes with Maia.
She quickly left the balcony as if guilty of some mischief and headed toward the living room.
Cedric smiled. Then, the taxi slowly left the Cloud Nine Residences.
Back in her apartment, Maia sat on the sofa. She felt her heart thumping rapidly. She reached out to touch her slightly flushed
cheeks and murmured softly, “Maia, why are you blushing? You were just enjoying the scenery on your own balcony!”
But the next moment, she grabbed a nearby cushion and buried her face in it. “You enjoyed the view, why did you run away?
Running away only makes you look guilty...”
Maia felt distressed. After a few minutes, her phone rang. It was a message from him.
“Baby, the way you ran away is really cute.”
Maia angrily tossed her phone onto the sofa.
Her phone rang again.
Maia picked up the phone and shouted into it, “Cedric, I warn you, don’t you call me cute again, and don’t call me anymore.
We’re already divorced!”
“Sis? It’s me... it’s Hope...”
Hope’s voice came softly from the phone. Maia quickly checked the caller ID, realizing it was Hope’s call, which she hadn’t
noticed in her anger.
“Sis, what’s going on between you and Mr. Cedric? He said you’re cute? Sis, you are very cute!”
“Hope!”
Hope giggled and said, “I don’t know what’s going on between you and Mr. Cedric, but your angry tone just now, I heard it for the
first time. The only one who can make you so ang must be him, right?”
“Hope, are you trying to make me hang up?” Maia asked somewhat angrily.
“No no, Sis, I won’t say anything more! I’ll be downstairs at your place shortly. I bought some snacks and beer, let’s enjoy them
together!”.
