Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 259 My Maia

Maia was stunned for a long time. She snapped back to reality after Cedric called out to her again.

“It takes courage to love again. However, you have cast me aside one too many times, despite my best efforts. From that point on, I learned to be independent. So, what right do you have to ask me to take a chance on you again?”

She closed her eyes and took
