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!

“I know.”

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

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.

“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.”
