Chapter 249 They’re From Her
Cedric stood in the center of the stage. He had a playful smile on his lips that would make anyone swoon over him. His voice continued to echo through the hall as he explained.
“I'm sure all of you have seen and heard the messages from my girl.” Cedric looked at Maia as he emphasized the phrase ‘my girl.
His
gaze was so passionate and intense that Maia felt like there was no escape as she was lured to him like a sailor to a siren.
Maia frowned as she stood rooted to the spot. The words she had prepared to address the crowd were no longer needed.
“Regardless of her behavior and the way she acts, she belongs to me. | will give in to her anytime.” Cedric announced with pride in front of a crowd of several millions,
The crowd started chattering after Cedric’s confession. “I'm amazed by how bravely Mr. Cedric is confessing his love!”
“Ms. Maia should just get back with him! After doing so much, even if she was a puppet, she would be touched too, right? Anyway, do you think this was Mr. Cedric’s doing? Just to get Ms. Maia to get back to him?”
“Please, only an idiot would do that. This was obviously an accident and Mr. Cedric just so happened to be here to save the day. What a hero!”
“Yeah! To be able to solve the crisis and confess, he really is something!”
“| sincerely wish that they would get back together and live happily ever after! They should forget the past and move on together!”
“| agree. They're a match made in heaven!”
Aiken heard those comments from the audience as his face fell. However, he could not deny that Cedric’s actions were admirable.
Maia was surprised by his confession as she mumbled that he was crazy.
As the confession hyped up the crowd, everyone was cheering and shouting, “Get back. together!” in unison. Even the live chat room had similar messages written on the board.
Soon after, the show went back to its original schedule as the past episodes of The Quest were. shown on screen again.
Cedric had no interest in the program at all. The main reason why he showed up was to help Maia. He walked toward her under the intense gaze of the audience and announced, “Now, we’re ready to take our seats and witness the birth of a new girl group!”

He held Maia’s wrist gently and led her down the stage to their seats as cheers of, “Get back together!” erupted once again. The cheers finally subsided when Aiken came onto stage with the winners list.
Cedric stared at Maia as she remained silent until they got to their respective seats. She knew that for the sake of the program, she would have to leave the stage with him.
Once they were seated, she struggled out of his grip and whispered,
upid
you do this?”
Cedric could feel his chest tighten as he smiled sadly. She had suspected his intentions. “Why would | do that?”
“Wouldn’t you? The wedding video may have leaked from other channels, but only you would have those recordings as | sent them as messages to your phone.”
“You'd doubt me just because of that?”
Maia shook her head. “That's not all. | just don’t trust you anymore. Trust no longer exists between us.” Maia’s words cut like a knife. This was exactly what he had once said to her in the past. She was just returning the favor.
The air felt stagnant. Everything around her seemed to have come to a halt. Maia could not hear a thing, not even the cheers from fans as she could only hear a ringing sound in her head.
“If this is what you think of me, so be it,” Cedric replied. Maia shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she asked. “Why didn’t you try explaining yourself?” “I didn’t trust you in the past.”
“So, you're just trying to experience how | felt? What it felt like to be wronged and accused of something you didn’t do?” Maia asked in disbelief.
“| wanted to experience your suffering.” His reply made Maia’s mouth fall open. Seconds later, she regained her composure and snapped at him angrily. “Are you out of your mind? Why would you want to go through all the suffering that I’ve experienced?”
Cedric looked Maia straight in her eyes. “I have to go through all of this to be able to understand your pain, and how much | had hurt you in the past!”
He could finally understand how much pain he had put her through. However, he was doing this willingly. In the past, Maia was the one blinded by love. Now, it was his turn.
