Chapter 318: Chapter 316 Take Care of Yourself [1 Update]
The man listened to her reminder and didn’t get angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Maya, the child is mine, the man in the hotel was just me alone."
Liam Spencer felt very helpless about this matter and thought to himself, he had been with Maya Spencer for so long, yet she still hadn’t realized that the man in the hotel was him.
Even though he deliberately concealed his features, she should have at least sensed something! This issue had indeed hurt Liam Spencer.
Maya Spencer was dumbfounded as she listened to Liam Spencer’s confession, her eyes widened in shock, only now realizing that it was Liam Spencer who had been with her that night.
For a moment, she was almost so angry that she fainted.
Liam Spencer watched her astonished expression, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm as he consoled, "So, never say you’re tainted again. The only person who has been with you from start to finish is me."
The man’s indifference completely infuriated Maya Spencer, and by that logic, the child in her belly was still his.
Thinking about the child made Maya even more upset, feeling like he was making a fool out of her, Maya almost couldn’t catch her breath in anger. She quickly got up from the bed, walked over to him, looked up, and stared into his eyes, asking seriously, "Liam Spencer, what are you saying?"
Liam Spencer gazed into her angry eyes, lowered his head to look into hers, and solemnly declared, "I said, you are mine, the child in your belly is also mine, the only person who has been with you from start to end is me."
"Smack!" As soon as Liam Spencer finished speaking, he received a hard slap across his face.
Maya Spencer’s slap was within Liam Spencer’s expectations. He could have stopped it the moment she raised her arm, but he didn’t. Instead, he endured the slap, thinking if it could calm her down, then taking a few slaps wasn’t a big deal.
So, he bit his lower lip, raised his left hand, touched his left cheek, and remarked, "That was quite strong."
Hearing the man’s nonchalant words, Maya Spencer’s anger surged even more. Initially wanting to slap him again, her mood suddenly waned, and she simply pointed to the door and said, "Please leave."
Listening to the girl’s eviction order, Liam Spencer furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and stared straight into her eyes, saying, "Maya Spencer, we have an agreement between us. I hope not to use those things to threaten you again, so you better take care of yourself and live well."
As soon as the man’s threatening words were left hanging, Maya Spencer’s momentum diminished by half.
Liam Spencer looked at the girl’s diminished demeanor, half-squinting his eyes and observed her for a while, thinking, what happened to Maya Spencer? Last night when he coaxed her, she clearly agreed to be let go; why didn’t she remember it? Did she forget such important information??
But forgetting was fine, no need for him to shamelessly resort to rudeness, keeping the threat just short, he wouldn’t forcefully bully her again.
Maya Spencer noticed the man’s strange gaze, quickly lowered her head, stood with her back to him, and said calmly, "Give me a few days to calm down."
"OK, I’ll go to work now, and come back after work to be with you." Maya Spencer’s strong attitude made it impossible for Liam Spencer to cater to her with a smile; trying not to get angry and accommodating her was already a big progress.
In the bedroom, watching the man’s back, Maya Spencer felt dizzy. No matter how she circled around, she was still trapped by him, even to the point of having his baby.
At this time, as Liam Spencer reached the study door, he suddenly turned around, hands in his pockets, and seriously said, "Maya Spencer, don’t play any tricks, take care of your health, when your mood stabilizes, I’ll take you for a prenatal check-up."
Hearing the man’s warning, Maya Spencer rolled her eyes fiercely at his back.
After Liam Spencer left, she trashed the bedroom, with pillows, clothes, and decor scattered all over the room; unable to find an outlet to vent her frustration at Liam Spencer, she could only let out her anger on these lifeless objects.
Downstairs, Sister Taylor heard the commotion upstairs and hurried up.
Looking at the messy room and the dejected Maya Spencer, she frowned and asked, "Miss, what are you doing? Are you feeling better?"
"Not feeling well emotionally." Maya Spencer said coldly.
Seeing Maya Spencer sitting on the rug by the bed, Sister Taylor quickly comforted, "Did you vent enough? If not, we can continue."
Hearing Sister Taylor’s consolation, Maya Spencer raised her right hand, rubbed her forehead, and said helplessly, "Sister Taylor, I’m sorry for causing trouble again."
"What are you saying? But Miss, you shouldn’t go to the third young master’s apartment anymore, stay at your own home. If anything happens, at least there are people around, so you won’t be left all alone and helpless." Sister Taylor said, holding her hand and advising.
"Okay." Maya Spencer replied perfunctorily. She did want to stay at the villa, but would Liam Spencer let her live comfortably? His principle was that if she wasn’t happy, he would be.
"Come on, let’s have breakfast." Sister Taylor pulled Maya Spencer’s hand and helped her up from the floor.
"Alright!" Maya Spencer nodded, agreeing, but her mood couldn’t improve no matter what, always feeling glum.
The only comfort was that during these days, Liam Spencer stayed at her villa, not suggesting to take her back to the apartment. Moreover, her morning sickness symptoms were significantly better compared to the last time.
That day, as she was flipping through e-books about pregnancy in the study, her phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Jane Spencer.
After she answered, Jane Spencer said with a smile, "Maya, do you have time? Let’s have dinner together."
Hearing Jane Spencer’s suggestion, Maya Spencer hesitated for a moment, then replied with a "hmm," agreeing to it.
After hanging up, she looked at the tablet on the desk, taking a deep sigh over the pregnancy notes on it.
Although she was unhappy about being pregnant with Liam Spencer’s child, she no longer thought about not having this child. Moreover, she paid special attention to her daily life, taking the child very seriously, even if someday she and Liam Spencer were to part ways, she still wanted this baby.
This child’s arrival was her only spiritual support.
At five-thirty in the afternoon, Maya Spencer changed her clothes, got in her car and drove out. She drove slowly the entire way out of fear of affecting the baby in her belly.
She hadn’t told anyone about the child’s existence other than Liam Spencer and Ella Turner—not even Sister Taylor. She planned to find time to first get an examination, and only after confirming the pregnancy and the child’s health would she announce it to everyone.
"Maya, over here." In the restaurant, Jane Spencer saw Maya Spencer’s figure and quickly waved at her to come over.
"Sis, how come you have time to invite me for dinner today?" Maya Spencer’s mood was calm, and she didn’t link her with Liam Spencer, as if she wasn’t even his sister.
