Chapter 260 She’s Still Sleeping

Maia nodded and went back to sleep.

The doorbell rang again. Cedric looked at her lovingly, put the towel on the table, and went out to open the door. Buck was shocked by what he saw.

“M–Mr. Cedric.” Buck took a few steps back and checked the unit number again to make sure he was at the right place.

“She’s still sleeping.”

Buck cleared his throat and nodded. It was pretty clear what happened here. He said, “I–I’ll just wait for Ms. Maia in the living room.”

“Help yourself.”

Buck nodded and headed meekly to the living room. He sat on the couch that was furthest from the bedroom. Then, he heard a commotion in there. Maia came out, looking unkempt, and tried to stop Cedric from opening the door. Alas, it was too late.

“Good morning, Ms. Maia.” Buck smiled and greeted her.
