Chapter 399


    Chapter 399


    Maia held the hem of her dress up and cast Richard a sidelong nce. “I thought you understood that


    our rtionship was strictly physical. Besides, I told you that we’re strangers if we meet outside. Why did


    you trouble yourself toe here, confronting me like this?”


    With that, she tried to leave, but Richard pulled her back by the arm. “Mai, can you not marry Cedrick


    Mason?”


    He held her close and propped his chin against her shoulder. The wedding dress had far too manyyers


    for the hug to feel real to him, but he had to try his luck. He had to pour out his feelings on that single


    question. Maia struggled against his embrace but was concerned that she would wrinkle her dress. Thus,


    she took a deep breath before whispering gently, “Cedrick and I were supposed to get married four years


    ago. Richard, if you truly love me, let me go.”


    “Miss, someone ising…” reminded the servant.


    Maia anxiously tried to shove Richard away, but he could not bear to let her go. He dipped his head to


    kiss her deeply, before smiling devilishly with a hint of undetected danger. “I’ll always love you, Mai, even


    if you be Cedrick’s wife.”


    He then let her go.


    When Janice walked toward the washroom, she spotted Maia’s servants helping Maia with her dress.


    There was a bathroom attached to the bride’s room, so she was taken by surprise as she did not expect


    to see Maia here.


    “Aunt Janice? You’re here, too?” Noticing that it was Janice, Maia swiftlyposed herself from the


    antsy feeling that bugged her, approaching Janice with a smile and holding her arm.


    Janice tapped the back of her hand gently. “It’s your wedding day. How could I not?” While she spoke,


    Janice caught a whiff of a male cologne, and when she nced at Maia’s lips, she noticed that her


    lipstick seemed smudged.


    Eventually, the clock struck 11 a.m., and the wedding ceremony officially started. The host tried his best


    to light up the room on stage, but the hall was lively enough without him trying


    Countless people held their breaths in anticipation of the grand wedding. Flower petals were all over the


    floor, and the hall was filled with the fragrance of lilies and roses.


    “Next up, let us invite our bride, apanied by her father, to walk down the aisle!” The host pointed at


    the red carpet, where Maia stood hand-in-hand with her father under the arched entrance made with


    lilies.


    Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she stepped onto the red carpet and walked toward Cedrick.


    Apart from feeling slightly shy, she was beaming excitedly.


    She was finally going to be Missus Mason. So what if she was not the woman from four years ago


    when she would be by Cedrick’s side, in the end, four yearster?

    Her father handed her hand to Cedrick. The look in Cedrick’s eyes wavered slightly, but he did not refuse


    despite the increasing tension coursing through his body. The priest gave a speech on the backgrounds


    of both Maia and Cedrick, before proceeding with the vows. “Maia rk, do you take Cedrick Mason to


    be yourwful husband?” Without a moment of hesitation, she said, “I do.” The priest looked over at


    Cedrick.
