Liam Spencer listened to her plea, raised his arm, and shook off Charlotte Owen’s hand before heading downstairs.
Charlotte Owen watched him, expressionless, without a word of reproach towards her. She furrowed her brows, wondering if Liam Spencer might be losing his mind!
Even though she was worried, she felt embarrassed to call him to show concern, and she knew Liam Spencer wouldn’t answer.
On the way back, Liam Spencer gripped the steering wheel with his left hand, supporting his right hand on it, his fingers bent against his lips, brow furrowed, his mind in chaos.
Within a day, Jane Spencer was imprisoned, and he suddenly discovered that Jane wasn’t his biological sister, but a cousin. Kinsley Spencer was his half-brother, and his mother was still alive.
Liam Spencer’s head ached; he took a deep breath, sped up, and drove swiftly towards ho.
When Liam Spencer returned to the villa, it was 6:40, and Maya Spencer was clutching her phone in the living room, urgently frustrated.
Seeing Liam Spencer co ho, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached him, looking sowhat angry as she reprimanded, "Third Brother, why didn’t you answer the phone? You’re driving crazy."
Listening to Maya’s scolding, the man said nothing, extending his arms to tightly embrace her, resting his chin on her shoulder, his handso face pressed against Maya’s small face.
Earlier, Maya had felt quite annoyed, worried for Liam Spencer.
But seeing the man hold her so vulnerably, all her anger vanished. She simply lifted her small hand, gently patting his back, comforting, "Third Brother, it’s okay, it will pass, it’s not your fault."
At this mont, Maya still didn’t know that Old Master Spencer was in the hospital, nor was she aware of Liam Spencer’s parentage.
Liam Spencer listened to Maya’s comfort, leaning on her shoulder, nodding, and said, "Yes!"
Though Maya could bring him comfort, could make him feel warmth, internally he still felt stifled, unwilling to recall things he didn’t want to know, yet his thoughts were uncontrollable, always bringing them to mind.
He didn’t even know, in the future, how he should face the Spencer Family, how he should face Uncle, how he should face Charlotte Owen?
Maya saw the man was heavy-hearted, cautiously pushed him away, lifted both hands, touched his face, asking, "Third Brother, are you hungry? Let’s have dinner first."
"Not hungry," he said coldly and clear.
Liam Spencer, since childhood, rarely showed emotions, but for the first ti, he was embarrassed, embarrassed to the point of not knowing how to face others.
Even three years ago, when Maya left, he didn’t feel this emotion; he just constantly hoped to et her.
"Then let’s go upstairs; I want to talk to you." Maya had never seen Liam Spencer so downcast, and she was worried.
"Little thing, I’m fine." Liam Spencer looked at the girl’s furrowed brow, raised his right hand, rubbed her head, forcing a smile to comfort her.
"Liam, I’m worried about you; you’ve never been like this before." She said, pulling Liam Spencer towards their bedroom as she spoke.
Maya knew that, although Liam Spencer seed cold, he actually cared about feelings more than anyone. With his big sister arrested, he could not be unemotional, and with his own sister repeatedly trying to harm him, it was impossible for him not to feel depressed.
When they reached the bedroom study, Liam Spencer suddenly hugged Maya from behind, gently pressed his face against hers, explaining, "Maya, Third Brother is really fine, I’m not sad for Big Sister; I saw this outco coming long ago."
"Three years ago, I knew it was Big Sister who tossed you into the sea, but I never told you, very sorry."
At that ti, Liam Spencer was very angry, really wanting to kill Jane Spencer. Luckily, Maya woke up, and at that ti, he hadn’t yet realized he loved Maya, so the matter was delayed. Later, seeing Big Sister behave, he temporarily shelved it.
Recalling the past, thinking he didn’t give Maya justice three years ago, Liam Spencer felt sowhat guilty.
"It’s okay! I wasn’t hard, wasn’t I rescued by Gu..., by everyone!" Maya’s ntion of Brother Morris almost slipped out, but her mind acted quickly, and she changed it.
Liam Spencer looked at her flustered look, leaned in, gently bit her lips.
Actually, since Maya’s last confession, Liam Spencer minded Lillian Morris less.
Yet he still felt embarrassed to tell her that, in fact, three years ago, he was the first to spot her and the first to hold her.
However, seeing Maya’s obedient manner, he was no longer troubled by this matter.
Besides, he wanted Maya’s love, not her gratitude; she should leave her gratitude for Lillian Morris!
Maya saw Liam Spencer didn’t mind her slip, and she hooked her arms around his neck, asking seriously, "Third Brother, if Big Sister hadn’t been deceived today, what would we do?"
Before the trial, Maya worried about this problem; she feared Jane Spencer was too clever, too clear-headed, wouldn’t fall into the trap set for her by Liam Spencer.
Liam Spencer watched the girl’s concerned look, kissed her lips, and said, "If she hadn’t been deceived, those fake evidences beco real."
"..." Maya was stunned, her big eyes fixated on Liam Spencer.
Alright! She was shocked by Liam Spencer’s ruthlessness. She had always believed Liam Spencer only wished to deceive Jane Spencer, not expecting he’d insist Jane Spencer seal the guilt, drawing a line between them in terms of relentlessness.
"Little thing, why? Afraid of ?"
"Uh-huh! I’m really afraid of provoking you." Maya pouted, nodding.
"Go take a shower, I’ll watch TV with you tonight." Liam Spencer felt a void within, always wanting sothing to fill the emptiness, so he suggested watching TV with Maya.
He wanted to numb himself, to montarily forget Watt Spencer, forget Charlotte Owen and Jane Spencer.
Hearing his words, Maya thought he intended to be intimate, and she reached to hook his belt, pulling him into the bathroom.
But Liam Spencer didn’t show that kind of desire, so Maya knew he was truly feeling down.
Therefore, after showering and getting into the blanket, she sat obediently in his embrace, chose a cody film, watched with him, hoping to make him happy.
However, after two cody films, Maya dozed off in Liam Spencer’s arms, and his mood still hadn’t improved.
He didn’t want to be gloomy with Maya, but he simply couldn’t smile, couldn’t join her in the rry-making.
He took a deep breath, watched the sleeping girl in his arms, gently lifted her, placed her on the big bed, letting her sleep peacefully, then got up, walked to the study, retrieved a box of cigarettes from the drawer, tore open the packaging, randomly picked one, put it in his mouth, and struck a slender match to light the cigarette.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Liam Spencer usually didn’t smoke, so when he took a big puff, he accidentally choked, coughing.
