Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 276 Does Cedric Know?

It was plain to see that Hans had made up his mind to give Maia his jade tablet.

“I can’t take it.” She shook her head repeatedly, but Hans was adamant about it. He tossed aside his walking stick and got ready to kneel.

How could she let him do that?

Maia stopped Hans and said worryingly, “What are you doing, Grandpa? You can’t kneel before me. Please, get up!” She quickly held his arms.

“I’ll kneel until you agree to keep it, Maia!” Hans knew she had a soft spot for him. “Do me a favor, Maia. The way you carry yourself as the CEO of Starlight Entertainment and the way you handled Rita tells me you’re best suited to safe–keep this jade tablet.

“I have no idea what came between you and Cedric, but I’m asking you to do this favor for me, not him. Are you going to turn me down?”

Maia looked at the valuable jade tablet in her hands and fell silent. Hans was a cunning man through and through. If it had not been for his old age and memory issues, he would have easily run rings around people much younger than him!

He noticed Maia was starting to waver and kept going. “I’m old and worthless, but my ancestors and I spent our whole lives building up the family. It’s no ordinary feat that our family managed to maintain its relevance and prospered to this day!

“No one else has earned my admiration but you. You alone can safe–keep my jade tablet! I beg you, will you help me out?”

Hans started tearing up at that point. Maia could not think of reasons to deny him. She had no choice but to ignore her urge to reject him. Under his earnest gaze, Maia tightened her grip on the jade tablet and nodded.

“Let’s make it clear. I’m only doing this because of the way you treated me in the past. I didn’t do it for anyone else.” Needless to say, she was referring to Cedric.

Hans was overjoyed to hear her answer and nodded instantly. “Alright. Gotcha.” Then, Maia put the jade tablet back into the small leaf rosewood box.
