Chapter 317
Chapter 317 You're Right, My Love
But he laughed and relented. “You're right.
Liking someone doesn’t need a reason. Similarly, surrendering for the sake of one’s beloved also lacks a logical explanation. “Hope, what happened?” Aiken’s voice came from inside, and he walked over to Hope.
When he saw Cedric, Aiken’s lips involuntarily twitched.
“Let's go back to the resort.”
After the hospital door closed, the group walked towards the elevator, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
It would take at least twenty minutes to walk from Maya Cove Hospital to the resort. Aiken would step in whenever Cedric wanted to speak to Maia.
If Aiken tried to talk to Maia, Cedric would pull her to his side and then stare at him with his terrifying gaze. Hope pulled Aiken away and muttered softly, “Can you save some energy? It’s so hot today, can’t you walk properly?”
“Hope, aren’t you helping me?” Aiken lowered his voice. “After all, we’ve cooperated on more than one drama. | like your sister. Can't you see it?”
“| can see it and my sister can see it too. But you mistake admiration for love, thinking you like my sister.”
Hope’s words made himpause. “Aiken, just let go. Can’t you see that Cedric likes my sister? And my sister likes him too. It’s useless for you to interfere between them.Let go and find your own happiness.”
“Hope, why do you sound so experienced?”
“If you make them unhappy, what's the point of liking them? If you like someone who doesn’t like you back, you shouldn't cling to them. Let them be happy and free, right? And do you really like my sister? Think about it. Is it more admiration or more love?”
Aiken fell into silence, running his hand through his messy hair. He looked at Cedric and Maia walking side by side, feeling he didn’t deserve to be with them.
Aiken suddenly became quiet, catching Maia’s attention. Maia knew she should talk to him. Aiken wasn’t a stubborn person who would cling to trivial matters. If she explained it clearly, he would understand.
“Cedric.” Maia reached out and tugged at his sleeve, calling out to him.
“Hmm?”
Maia said, “I need to talk to Aiken about something.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“He’s my rival.” This reason was straightforward and crude.
With a delicate frown, Maia said, “Then you must be prepared. Aiken’s contract is about to expire, and he has good commercial value. So Starlight Entertainment will sign him, and he’ll become my artist. Cedric, you should be ready for Aiken’s jealousy.”
“He can’t contain it.”
Maia was speechless.
“Go ahead and talk to him. Make things clear.” Cedric tucked her slightly messy hair behind
her ear.
“How do you know what | wanted to talk to him?”
“You're here with me, of course, | know.” Cedric’s hand moved down, gently pointing at her chest with his finger. Maia’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she turned to walk towards the silent Aiken.
“Aiken, come with me.”
When Aiken heard Maia’s words, he paused. Then, seeing Maia walking toward the beach on one side, he followed. Hope was extremely surprised.
“Cedric, why didn’t you stop Maia and Aiken from talking alone?” “| don’t dare to stop them.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Hope was shocked. She made a sour expression again.
Just as Maia was about to say something, Aiken seized the opportunity to speak.
“Maia, | know what you want to discuss.” Aiken smiled at Maia and said, “Hope was right. Liking someone isn’t about possessing them, but seeing them happy.
“Maia, | was angry before. After all, it was Cedric who let go first. Later, | thought and thought... the more | thought, the angrier | got. Then Vicky told me about some things between you and Cedric.
“Cedric lost his memory, but it was for you even then. Later, he risked his life for you. | felt understand.” Aiken was no longer mischievous. Instead, he looked at Maia with a solemn and earnest expression.
“Humans are strange. They don’t always understand things right away. | will stop pursuing you, Maia. Firstly, I’m not Cedric’s opponent. | don’t have Cedric’s ability or his charisma.
“Secondly, considering your status, you are most compatible with Cedric. I’m here to apologize to you.” “Apologize?” Maia was stunned. “Apologize for what?”
“| worked with Nigel before to make Cedric quit. But | couldn’t think of a good way. Later, Nigel proposed blaming Cedric for the two male stars who claimed you took advantage of them. You know about this, right, Maia? Anyway, it didn’t succeed. Hehe.”
Aiken smiled somewhat embarrassedly. He was, after all, an award-winning actor, always upright and honest. This matter was somewhat difficult for him to talk about.
“Nigel, he...” Maia lowered her gaze. “I hope he can let go.”
“Yeah, | hope Nigel can let go, just like | did!” Saying this, Aiken smiled playfully. “If Cedric doesn’t treat you well, Maia, you must tell me! I'll help you teach him a lesson!”
“It's not that you can’t compete, it’s that you’ve figured it out. But you figured it out so quickly... Is there any other reason?”
