"You unfilial son, behaving foolishly, have you forgotten how I usually teach you?" Old Master Morris listened to Lillian’s confession, clutching his chest in anger, nearly fainting.
Lillian listened to Old Master’s reprimand and calmly said, "Dad, I rember what you taught . I just want to live differently, please understand."
"I don’t understand, and I don’t agree. I only know you can be with anyone, but you can’t be with this girl in front of you." Old Master Morris said angrily.
Putting aside the connection with Liam, based solely on Lillian’s obsession with Maya, he couldn’t let them be together. The sole heir of the Morris Family was willing to ruin the family business for a woman; such a calamity, the Morris Family would never let her through the door.
"Even if you stay a bachelor for life, even if our Morris Family has no descendants, I will not agree to you being with her."
In Old Master’s eyes, Maya was a fem fatale, bringing trouble wherever she went. If they’re not even together yet and have already made the Morris Family a storm, it would be disastrous if they were truly together.
Thus, he imdiately looked at Maya and said, "Miss Hanson, our Morris Family might be a small temple, unable to accommodate such a big Buddha like you. Please show rcy and move elsewhere, don’t provoke Lillian, turning such a good man into what he is now."
"Dad, everything was done by alone and has nothing to do with Maya."
Old Master’s request put Maya in a difficult position, while also pulling her from her fantasy back to reality. Even if she turned and walked towards Lillian, they couldn’t step out of this waiting hall, even if they got through the airport, Old Master Morris wouldn’t agree to them being together, not to ntion the great obstacle, Liam.
Maya thought of what she was about to face, raising her right hand to wipe away tears, trying to adjust her breath and gaze at Liam ahead.
At this mont, Elijah leaned towards Liam’s ear, murmuring, "Boss, what should we do? Young Master Morris is playing the emotional card, why don’t you also make a confession?"
Elijah’s proposal wasn’t heard by Liam; his focus was entirely on Maya and Lillian.
Lillian’s confession made him so tense that he couldn’t catch his breath, yet it also seed ridiculous.
He clearly rembers three years ago, visiting Lillian at his apartnt, Lillian had promised there he wouldn’t beco his rival in love.
Yet, now he is the biggest obstacle in his and Maya’s romantic path.
He stared straight at Maya, watching her cry uncontrollably, feeling both heartache and annoyance. He hated her crying for other n, yet couldn’t control her tears for soone else.
Lillian’s confession, and Maya’s tears, made him feel awkward, feeling like a joke.
He wanted to be angry but realized he didn’t even have the mood for anger; what he wished for was Maya coming over to him.
Despite seeing no hope, he still didn’t want to turn and leave; as long as Maya didn’t rush to Lillian, he wouldn’t give up.
"Boss, quickly confess! If you don’t, you’ll lose the chance." Elijah, seeing that Old Master’s warning hasn’t allowed Maya to step towards them, was jumping in anxiety.
"Elijah, be quiet, let Maya decide for herself." With Elijah’s repeated interference, Liam finally spoke.
"But Young Master Morris is being sly, confessing at this mont is so unfair, he’s clearly bullying."
"Whatever." Liam still didn’t take Elijah’s suggestion.
For Liam, he had already shown his feelings for Maya long ago, if she still couldn’t see his affection, he was powerless.
In such a situation, he had no mood to contend with Lillian for emotional influence, nor did he want to make his confession after Lillian’s.
He just hoped Maya wouldn’t disregard his past good actions and won’t only rember his bad ones.
In the center of the waiting hall, Maya felt an unprecedented pressure, feeling like a stray dog without a ho.
Looking at Liam ahead, she unexpectedly didn’t see hate, but saw sadness and anticipation in his eyes.
Maya has never seen such vulnerability in Liam, even when he was in his study shedding tears for their child, he wasn’t this fragile.
She saw the man with his hands in his pockets, staring at her intently, seemingly waiting for her to co ho.
At this mont, fragnts of his return yesterday flashed in her mind, his smiling face and open arms waiting for her embrace.
Thinking of Liam, Maya felt a bit guilty, she couldn’t guess why there wasn’t anger in his eyes—is he not planning to be angry this ti? Will he let her off the hook?
"Maya, don’t go." As Maya took the first step gently, Lillian suddenly stopped her.
Lillian stopping Maya made her pause her step, but she didn’t turn back because she didn’t want Lillian to see her crying, didn’t want him to feel more heartache for her, didn’t want to keep stubbornly making mistakes.
Elijah beca furious again, grasping Liam’s arm tightly and said, "Boss, Young Master Morris is being sly again, let bring Miss Hanson over! She clearly wants to go ho with us, but Young Master Morris keeps interrupting."
As Elijah spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to ddle with Maya’s decision. If Lillian kept causing a scene, his heart couldn’t take it anymore.
What he couldn’t tolerate more was that the boss was unmoved, not taking any action, not even saying two words for Miss Hanson to hear, rember his good deeds! It’s always Young Master Morris talking alone, so unfair.
Liam saw Elijah’s impulsiveness and blocked him with his left arm, saying, "Wait."
"Boss, but if we keep waiting, I’ll go crazy. If Young Master Morris says one more word, Miss Hanson will run away." Elijah wanted nothing more than to knock Liam to the ground and snatch the bride over himself.
Not far away, Maya watched the interaction between Liam and Elijah, so scared her legs beca weak, a tremble almost made her unable to stand, nearly falling.
She saw Liam raise his right arm, thinking Elijah was speaking well of her, only to be reprimanded by Liam, and seeing his face cold, she grew more fearful.
The sound of Elijah and Liam’s exchange was too faint, unlike Lillian’s loud confession, so Maya couldn’t hear it, but Old Master Morris could hear it clearly.
He listened to Elijah say Maya was about to run, his brows furrowing tightly and also began to feel nervous.
He knew, to prevent them from being together, it was crucial to observe Maya’s decision. If she clings to Lillian, no matter how he stops it, it would be futile.
Therefore, he must exert pressure on Maya, not allowing her an opportunity to be moved, not allowing her to choose Lillian.
