Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 258 He Kept Calling Her

Franklin packed up his equipment and gave them to Baz.

“You called me out here in the middle of the night just for me to see Cedric in such a sorry state. You did a bad job at being his assistant. Take these to my car.”

“As you wish,” Baz said, as he took Franklin’s stuff to the car. Franklin walked toward Maia after Baz left. He nodded and smiled at her. “It’s been a long time, Maia.”

“Indeed, Franklin.” She nodded and smiled politely.

“I’m aware you respect me, Maia. I also know you’re just being polite, but I always ask for a mile when given an inch. So, I’m going to leverage your respect for me and talk to you about something private. Do you mind?”

Maia shook her head and smiled, “I respect you from the bottom of my heart, Franklin. It’s not just out of courtesy. I welcome your input anytime. Please. I’m all ears.”

“I’ll cut to the chase, then. You saw the shape Cedric was in. His stomach problem gets worse every year. He has to eat three meals a day. It’s also crucial that he takes the medicine that I prescribe to him.

“Cedric doesn’t listen to any of us, but he’d readily obey you. Even Baz knows this. You’re a smart girl, Maia. I think you can see how much you mean to Cedric.”

“We’re divorced, Franklin,” Maia said.

“I know about that. However, he came to your place today. That tells me there is still hope between the two of you… >>

She shook her head and explained again, “It was merely a coincidence, Franklin. I was trapped in the elevator and he saved me. I’m just repaying the favor now.”

Franklin shook his head and asked her, “Do you buy what you’re saying right now, Maia?” That gave her a shock and rendered her speechless.

“I was once young and in a relationship too. I also faced a dilemma in my love life when my career was at its peak. I very nearly gave my girlfriend away to another guy.

“Luckily, I changed my mind and was able to win her back in time. We still love each other deeply to this day.” Franklin tried to win Maia over with his love history and sound logic.
