Chapter 289 Three Questions, Three Silences

Looking at Hope’s retreating figure, Maia smiled happily for her.

After Hope entered her room, Maia gradually withdrew her gaze, and her smile began to fade. She looked out at the sea, opened the sliding glass door, and stepped onto the balcony. The sea breeze gently brushed against her, but it could not soothe her complex emotions.

She stood on the balcony for an unknown amount of time, sighed softly, and turned around to go inside. However, just as she turned around, she and Cedric, standing on the neighboring balcony, once again met eyes, locking gazes in an instant.

The interplay of their eyes seemed to create a spark. Maia had not expected him to choose a regular suite, let alone one right next to hers. But considering this was his island and his resort, he could stay wherever he wanted.

Maia withdrew her gaze, pretending not to have seen anything, and prepared to walk inside. Yet, at that moment, his deep voice sounded with the sea breeze.

“I’m sorry.”

His words caused a sudden change in Maia’s eyes. She was probably the only person in the world who could make him apologize.

“Sorry for not protecting you.”

“Sorry for not trusting you unconditionally.”

“Sorry for not regaining my memory when you loved me.”

Cedric’s palm tightly gripped the railing, suppressing the impulse to climb over and pull her into a deep kiss. Every word he spoke came from the depths of his heart.

Maia was not a fool, nor was she indifferent. She could feel his sincerity. With a delicate frown, she stood there, unmoving, neither looking at him nor speaking. After an unknown amount of time, she finally spoke slowly. “There’s nothing to be sorry for. I’ve already made things clear
