Chapter 327: Chapter 325 Just a Cold【5 Updates】
She said, "What are you doing? It’s been years, and you didn’t do it on purpose, nor did you know, so there’s no need for this!"
Faced with Liam’s sentimentality, Maya’s little heart was inexplicably stirred. They say a woman’s tears are her strongest weapon, but in her view, a man’s pity game works quite well too—someone as cold-hearted as her felt touched and couldn’t help but offer a couple of tissues and some comforting words.
Liam looked at the tissues the girl handed him, utterly embarrassed, wishing he could smash through the glass window and jump down.
At the same time, hearing Maya’s comforting words, he felt a burst of warmth.
He took the tissues Maya handed him, wiped his eyes and nose, and said, "You’re overthinking it; it’s just a cold."
Maya rolled her eyes at the man’s stubbornness and casually said, "Oh, oh, oh! A cold that makes your eyes red from crying? That’s a rarity. Is it such a big deal that it’s worth crying over, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? Let’s go eat."
Though the girl was mocking him, Liam felt exceptionally comfortable as he listened. He took a deep breath, turned around, looked down at Maya, and seriously asked, "Maya, don’t you resent me?"
"Of course! How could I not? In my dreams, I seek revenge, but I can’t beat you, my company isn’t as strong as yours, my mind isn’t as clever as yours, and I’m not as devious as you. What can I do? I have to let you bully me; there’s no other way." Maya spoke from the heart—she was truly helpless.
The man watched her carefree demeanor, hearing her casually express her hatred towards him, his heart inexplicably tightened, and he suddenly wanted to apologize.
He reached out with his long arms, encircling Maya in his embrace, holding her tightly, whispering into her ear with extreme guilt, "Maya, I’m sorry."
Maya felt Liam’s sudden apology and embrace, becoming even more awkward. She raised her small hands, pushing against his chest continuously, and said, "What are you doing? Are you going crazy again?"
The more Maya struggled, the tighter Liam held her.
At this moment, Maya regretted her meddling, regretted offering him tissues and comforting him—these were things he deserved to face.
"Liam, if you really feel sorry, okay, let me go, and stop threatening me, can you?" In a moment of urgency, Maya came up with a proposal.
Listening to the girl’s request, Liam held her even tighter and said calmly, "No."
"Is there any point in this? Considering the child’s issue, you have no reason to hate me, there’s no need for me to pay you back with a child, and I won’t seek revenge on you. It won’t work anyway—can’t we just settle this?" Maya was really unwilling to be tangled with him any longer.
"No, what’s done is done. I won’t make you pay back with a child, but I promised you, we will have one in the future, and you must seek revenge." In reality, he simply didn’t want to let her go, wanted to keep her by his side, and wouldn’t give her any chance to be with Lillian.
Even though he knew she liked Lillian and disliked him, he still didn’t want to let her go. Even if a forced relationship isn’t sweet, it’s better than having no relationship at all.
"I can’t seek revenge; I don’t have that ability—I give up," Maya explained eagerly.
Liam pushed her away from his embrace, grasping her shoulders with both hands, and said earnestly, "I’ll give you an opportunity."
"Liam, don’t play games with me like this," Maya felt annoyed, not wanting to be toyed with anymore.
But someone seriously said, "Maya, I won’t give you a chance to be with Lillian—give up on that!"
Listening to his blunt words, Maya sneered and turned her head aside, not wanting to look at him, thinking that a psycho remains a psycho. No matter what they’ve been through, even if there are tears, they’re still a psycho.
At this point, he still thought she might go seduce Lillian, but such a broken self, how could she be worthy of Lillian?
Thus, she said, "Young Master, you’re joking—Maya has enough self-awareness. I’m not worthy of Lillian; I won’t go bother him."
Hearing the words ’not worthy,’ Liam was displeased. In his heart, no one was worthy of Maya; there was never anyone she wasn’t worthy of.
He looked at the girl’s disdainful gaze, watched her self-mockery, and suddenly pushed her against the floor-to-ceiling window, lifting her slightly to meet his gaze, saying sternly, "Maya, nobody is unworthy of you; there’s no one you’re unworthy of."
Hearing Liam’s words, Maya’s face flushed red, swallowing her breath, she rolled her eyes at him and dismissed, "Insane."
In her view, Liam truly was insane—he could say such disgusting words; he was surely trying to flatter himself!
However, as soon as her curse fell, her lips were blocked by someone. Her legs were lifted, and driven by physical instincts, her legs clenched onto his waist.
But her will was to refuse Liam, so she pushed his face away with her hands quickly.
Seeing her disdaining eyes, Liam stared straight into them, chasing wherever she tried to hide. When she wanted to get off him, he pushed her forward, pressing her even closer against the glass window, leaving no space for struggle.
After several rounds of tussle, Maya grew annoyed and said to him impatiently, "Is this over, are we going to eat?"
"Not over yet, I’ll eat you first." As the man finished speaking, Maya’s lips were blocked again, and before she could push Liam away, he placed her on the large sofa in the middle of the study.
Maya watched Liam eagerly tearing at her clothes, hugging her chest tightly, scowling and saying, "Liam, this is my home. Can you act like a guest just once?"
"Hmm1! After freeloading for so long, it’s time to ’compensate’ the ’host.’ No money, but I’m rich in ’affection.’" The man said as he grasped her wrists, pinned them above her head, continuing to tease her with his free hand.
This time, Maya was furious, shouting angrily, "Didn’t you hear what the doctor said today? I can’t get pregnant for six months."
"I won’t finish inside." His desire to have her always found an excuse.
"Let me go." Maya continued to struggle, fighting back.
These days, she’d managed to avoid him for 10 days, had enjoyed 10 days of peace, and absolutely didn’t want to have relations with him again, especially after finding out the man who exhausted her was Liam. Maya’s hatred for him grew deeper, not forgiving him because of those few tears today.
Moreover, his tears were only for his child and not for her.
