Chapter 399

Maia held the hem of her dress up and cast Richard a sidelong glance. "I thought you understood that our relationship was strictly physical. Besides, I told you that we're strangers if we meet outside. Why did you trouble yourself to come 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 many layers 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 is coming..." 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 i you become 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 swiftly composed 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 glanced 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, accompanied 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 become 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 years later?

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 Clark, do you take Cedrick Mason to be your lawful husband?" Without a moment of hesitation, she said, "I do." The priest looked over at Cedrick.
