Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 288 Such Is Impossible

Maia pursed her lips. “I am not his weakness, and he is not a pitiful lover in my eyes. We can only ever be in a hostile relationship. | must make Rita pay for the pain I’ve endured, for the child | lost. It’s not going to be resolved so easily!”

‘Hearing Maia’s words, Hope said softly, “You’re saying one thing but meaning another. If it really doesn’t matter, why cry? When you said those hurtful words, it hurt him, but it hurt you too! Even if you hate Rita, what does it have to do with Cedric?”

Maia looked at her and asked, “Hope, wouldn’t you defend your mother?” Hope, upon hearing Maia’s question, first froze and then nodded without hesitation.

“| would. My mom hurt you, so I’ve never had the right to ask you to forgive someone who harmed you. But even if she did ita thousand or ten thousand times, she’s still my mother. She gave birth to me, raised me, and treated me so well. | know her better than anyone. She even sacrificed her life for me, when Tess threatened her,”

By now, Hope’s eyes were already red.

“You knew about all of that?” Maia was surprised; this was something she had not expected. Hope nodded. “Buck told me. The car accident with my mom... it was all arranged by Tess.” “| specifically told him not to tell you.

“| know, and you meant well. But that day, I... | had a little bit of alcohol and missed mom. | kept crying. Buck saw me like that and couldn't bear it, so he told me that mom didn’t abandon me; she had to let me go

for my

sake.”

Hope leaned into Maia’s arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Yvette was a good mother, there’s no doubt about it.

“She will be watching you from where you can’t see her, seeing you grow up, achieving your own success,” Maia said. Wiping away her tears, Hope nodded and said, “Yeah, | absolutely can’t give up on myself. | definitely can’t belittle myself!” Upon hearing Hope’s words, Maia smiled. “I believe in you.’

“Yeah!” Hope nodded, extending her hand to tightly embrace her sister. “Sis, | really, really like you. In this world, besides mom and dad, you're the best person to me. Even if | took away the family that should have been yours, your father...

At this point, Hope bit her lip. Regardless of her expression or tone, it was all an apology to Maia. She felt remorse towards Maia as always.

+15 BONUS “None of that was your fault, so don’t blame yourself.”

Maia had always been reasonable, the daughter of the business empress Rosa, and she absolutely could not bring any disgrace to her!

“Maia, let's make a promise. We'll be the best sisters in the whole world!” Saying that, Hope childishly raised her little finger, just like when she had run to the seaside with Maia to express her feelings to the ocean.

Maia felt the purity in Hope’s heart, making a commitment in the innocent way that only children do. It was the cleanest and most innocent way in her heart. Maia extended her little finger and hooked it with Hope’s. Instead of her usual cold and noble demeanor, sweetness and purity replaced it..

“Promise for a hundred years of sisterhood without change,” Maia said. Upon hearing this, Hope chuckled and immediately responded, “Yeah, a hundred years of sisterhood without change!”

Once the promise was made, Hope's smile slightly faded, and her expression became serious. ” Sis, are you really planning to oppose Cedric?”

“As you said, no matter how many times your mother was wrong, she’s still the one who gave birth to and raised you. Wouldn’t it be the same for Cedric? Plus, with a century-old family like the Larkin family, filial piety is crucial for someone in power like Cedric. If he ignores his mother, it might be justifiable with the excuse of managing the affairs of a corporation. But what if he’s on my side?”

At this point, Maia self—deprecatingly smiled and shook her head. “There's absolutely no possibility of that happening. I’m just talking nonsense...”

Maia never thought she would have such thoughts. Such a possibility would never exist. “Sis, what if it really is possible?”

Maia shook her head. “No, it’s impossible. There’s no chance. Once he stands on my side, it means he’s standing against the entire family. Rita has gained a lot of influence in the Larkin family over the years. Cedric won't cause trouble for me, especially when Rita is his mother. Can you imagine him helping his ex-wife deal with his own mother?”

Saying this, Maia turned to look at Hope. Hope was stunned for a few seconds.

Changing the topic, Hope said, “Sis, no matter what you decide, I’ll support you. If there’s any way | can help, just let me know. There are other things | can do apart from making money for you!”

Hope said this particularly earnestly, with a serious expression. She even patted her own chest, telling Maia that her little sister was absolutely reliable!

Maia was amused by her actions, feeling warm in her heart. It was really good to have a sister who supported her like this. “Then let’s take a look at the script first,” Maia said as she handed the tablet to Hope.

“Sc-script?” Hope was stunned for a few seconds, instantly looking displeased. “Didn’t we fail to negotiate the previous TV series? Is there a new one?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Weren't you just saying you wanted to make money for your sister?” Maia teased. “Ugh...” Hope pouted, reaching out to take the tablet.

But as she took the tablet and saw the title of the script, she became interested. “Isn’t this the IP that was discussed hotly online recently? It's a medieval mystery drama adapted from a popular novel!”

“It's an excellent medieval mystery drama, and you haven't shot this type of TV series before. So, | think it’s very suitable for you, a challenge and a new beginning.”

“You really know me well. I’ve been longing for this!” Hope eagerly hugged Maia. “I'll get right to it!”

“The specific start date and other matters will be explained to you by Wesley after the Horizon Awards. Got it?” “Got it!*. Hope nodded happily and, with the tablet in her arms, joyfully ran towards her room.
