Will You Marry Me, Again
Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Didn’t Expect To Be So ValuableMaia breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Tess falling asleep. Acting could not go on forever, or it would be too exhausting.

She leaned to the side and closed her eyes, but she dared not let her guard down. Even though Cedric had arranged people,Tess was too close, and Maia had to remain vigilant.

Upon arrival in Osttahl, it was already the following day. The weather in Osttahl was different from Solisar, and as soon as Maiagot off the plane, she felt a bit cold. She quickly walked outside the airport with her luggage alongside Tess.

They took a taxi arranged by Cedric to the hotel he had also arranged. The entire hotel was completely booked for them, all fortonight’s charity event. Upon reaching the hotel room and closing the door, Tess immediately began trying on the dress shewould wear tonight.

“Maia, do | look good in this?”Maia nodded. “You look good, Aunt Tess, no matter what you wear.”

While Maia was answering Tess, she received a text message from Cedric: “There is a calming tea on your left. Make her drinkit. I’m waiting for you in the next room.”

Seeing this message, Maia was slightly stunned. When did Cedric arrive in Osttahl? Why was he looking for her? Did hediscover something?

Thinking about this, Maia glanced at the bottled mineral water on the coffee table, where the calming tea was inconspicuouslyplaced.

Tess was still busy in front of the mirror, seemingly very satisfied with her appearance as she nodded repeatedly. Maia picked upthe mineral water bottle, immediately unscrewed the cap, and walked to Tess.

“Aunt Tess, the charity event is at 8 p.m. It’s only 5 a.m. now, and we have plenty of time to try on clothes. Take a break and havesome water.” Maia handed the mineral water bottle to

Tess.Tess nodded, took Maia’s water bottle, and drank a few sips.

Not sensing anything unusual, she said, “You're right. It’s still early. Let’s rest for a while. Thanks for reminding me. Otherwise, |would have been too absorbed in trying on clothes.”

Maia smiled, took the bottle from Tess, and tossed it onto the sofa.

“I'm also very sleepy.” With that, Maia yawned a few times and walked toward the bed. “Aunt Tess, I’m going to sleep for a while.You should rest, too.”

“Okay.” Tess nodded, also yawning. The enthusiasm for trying on dresses disappeared+15 BONUS

Maia kept a watchful eye on Tess. She hadn't expected the calming tea to have such a potent effect. Moreover, it could be mixedinto water, colorless and tasteless, making it imperceptible.

Maia lay on the bed, paying close attention to the sounds outside. She didn’t know when Tess would fall asleep, but the longershe took, the safer it would be. About six minutes later, her phone vibrated again.

Another text from Cedric, with just two simple words. “Come over.”Maia quickly got up from the bed and walked briskly toward the door. As expected, Tess was already sound asleep.“Aunt Tess?” Maia called out cautiously for extra assurance.

However, Tess was in a deep sleep, showing no response. Once Maia was sure she was asleep, she carefully opened the roomdoor and walked toward the adjacent room.

As she arrived at the next room, the door had already opened before she could ring the doorbell. A hand reached out, pulling herinto the room.

The door closed behind her. Maia found herself pressed against the door. Cedric saw her lovely face and smiled slightly.“When did you arrive in Osttah!?” Maia still felt surprised to see Cedric appearing in front of her.“An hour before you.”

He had arrived in Osttahl early to make sure everything was in order. This concerned her safety, and he had to take chargepersonally.

“You came to Osttahl just to ensure the smooth progress of our cooperation?”“Yes.” He nodded, confirming her question.

“On the plane, Aunt Tess didn’t show any unusual behavior besides mentioning you. When she opened the suitcase to try on thedress just now, | also took a look. There was nothing in the suitcase. Could she have given up the operation?”

“No.” Cedric gave a confident answer. “Once she gives up, it means all her actions are exposed. She won't take that risk.”

“Yes, in her eyes, once the mother’s watch is in my hands, I’m one step closer to the truth, and she’s closer to being exposed.Given how well her life is going now, she won’t allow such a thing to happen. But how does she plan to take the watch away fromunder my nose?”

As Maia spoke, she looked into his deep eyes, speculating softly, “Could it be... she has been plotting something?”+15 BONUS

“You catch on quickly,” he praised her.

“You must know something, or you’ve discovered something!”

“Osttahl is under the control of Jerome Olsen, and Tess has bribed his subordinates,” Cedric said, suddenly smiling.“Coincidentally, Jerome is my college classmate and we've through thick and thin together.”

“You knew that Aunt Tess would be plotting in secret. So, from the moment the charity event was scheduled in Osttahl, you hadalready set a trap for her.” Maia’s tone was also very certain, and then she said again, “Let me guess, she bribed Jerome’ssubordinates not to get the watch but to eliminate me, right?”

Maia’s words were not questions, they were outright affirmations.

Before Cedric could speak, she continued, “I think Aunt Tess probably spent a huge sum of money to get rid of me, to make medie quietly in this lawless place. After all, Ostrahl is chaotic, and it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened.

“Of course, she also wants to get that watch. After all, it’s risky in anyone else’s hands. Only by destroying the watch, can sheensure her safety.”

The smile at the corner of his lips deepened, and he said with a half-smile, “There are many smart women, but not many whocan guess everything like my wife.”

Maia knew she had guessed correctly.

“| want to know, how much did she spend?” Maia was curious. She genuinely wanted to know how much Tess spent to get rid ofher.

“Hundred million.”Maia burst into laughter, a laugh that was both tender and charming.“| didn’t expect myself to be so valuable.” Maia’s words carried a hint of self-mockery.
