Chapter 166 I Love It When You Feed Me

His ungrateful wife was in denial again. Cedric glanced at her sorrowfully. Then, he said, “It’s hard being me.”

Maia was startled. Did he just say that? Did he not have a single shred of modesty within him?

They had been on the road for about twenty minutes. Maia looked out the window. She had been sure that they were headed to Prismara Hill, but they were going to Cloud Nine Residences instead!

“This isn’t the way to my place, Cedric.”

“I know.”

“I’m sure you’re aware that we’re supposed to be en route to Prismara Hill. I want to go home!”

She had no wish to step foot into that place again!

Cedric looked at her sternly. “We have to live together so Tess wouldn’t be suspicious of anything.”

Maia was puzzled. What he said made sense, but why did she get the feeling that Cedric was taking advantage of her? She was no fool. She knew he would do anything to get his way.

“We can live together, but there have to be rules.” Maia took out her tablet and wrote them down. Once she had written down ten, she let him see them.

“Take a good look at them, Cedric. If you agree to them, I’ll print them out. Then, all you have to do is sign off on it.”

It had only taken her a few minutes to write the rules, which impressed Cedric. It was the first time he had felt that way since she had taken over as Starlight Entertainment’s CEO.

Most of the rules were about setting boundaries during the time they would be living together. He could tolerate all but one of the rules.
