Rona Muir didn’t wait for Max Mo’s response and continued, “Cici may have had bad luck all her life, but she doesn’t need anyone’s pity or sympathy. Especially since she and Nora Yun look exactly alike, but I don’t think Cici wants to wear Nora’s face and be cherished by Nora’s fiancé as a substitute.”
Rona Muir’s words were blunt and direct!
Sophie Mo’s expression instantly changed. She immediately said, “Miss Muir, what do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean? Don’t you already know?” Rona Muir met Sophie Mo’s gaze fearlessly. “I appreciate that you like Cici—it shows you have good taste. But Cici’s future is hers to decide, not for you to dictate! If Cici ever divorces Charles Yin and chooses to marry Mr. Mo, I’ll bless her as her friend. But I don’t want Mr. Mo or Miss Mo to impose your own ideas on her! Cici has spent her whole life living for others. This time, I want her to live for herself!”
Rona Muir’s words rang out loud and clear.
Max Mo and Sophie Mo were both stunned.
Rona Muir really was a very clever woman.
She might not say much, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t see what was happening!
But there’s no denying that Rona Muir’s words came from the heart of a true friend.
She just wanted Cecilia Gu to take control of her own life and stop being someone else’s puppet!
Max Mo knew about Cecilia Gu’s past.
Cecilia Gu had always lived under a gray sky, enduring years of exploitation and oppression from the Gu family.
Growing up in that kind of environment and still managing to stay strong wasn’t easy at all.
Her first twenty-three years were a long, bitter tale of blood and tears.
Max Mo truly felt sorry for Cecilia Gu.
“Miss Muir, thank you for reminding me. I can honestly say, I’ve never confused Cecilia Gu with Nora Yun.” Max Mo spoke slowly, emphasizing every word: “I like Cecilia Gu.”
Sophie Mo and Rona Muir both looked up at Max Mo.
It was the first time Max Mo had ever admitted his feelings.
That really was unexpected!
“I’m willing to wait. I’ll wait until Cecilia Gu leaves Charles Yin and is truly willing to marry me.” Max Mo said firmly, “I know you might not believe how sincere I am, but I’ll prove it with my actions! Just like you said—if Cecilia Gu is willing to entrust her life to me, you’d be happy for her, wouldn’t you?”
