Chapter 141 - Halftime Break

Chapter 141: Chapter 139 Halftime Break Liam Spencer listened to her saying over and over again that he wasn’t giving her a chance. He felt helpless, but didn’t tell her that he had waited for her in the office all day today. He wanted to ask why she had to wait until he took action to seek him out, whether if he didn’t threaten her, she would never appear before him again?

He sighed deeply, raised his right hand, and wiped away the tears on her face, feeling even more helpless in his heart.

Maya Spencer felt his familiar gentleness, buried her head in his chest, and complained coquettishly, "You scared me to death."

The man, hearing her playful words, asked, "Does Maya know what she did wrong?"

Maya listened to the man’s questioning, pouted, stared at him intently, and said seriously, "I was wrong everywhere. Not listening to Third Brother and making him unhappy was wrong."

Actually, she never felt that she was wrong at all; she was just placating him, merely lying.

Faced with Maya’s seemingly sincere confession, Liam Spencer didn’t pursue it because he knew that probing deeply would not yield results. Who made him soft-hearted anyway? Since he softened, he decided not to be bothered by it anymore.

She gently wrapped her arms around his neck, her face blushing,

The man watched her playful little expression, gently bit her, held her tighter, as if easing his hold even slightly would let her run away.

A moment later, the girl’s trembling stopped, her breathing steadied, and she nestled motionlessly in his embrace. Liam Spencer lifted her chin, gazing into her eyes, softness like water.

Maya looked at the man’s appearance, swallowed a breath, and softly called out, "Third Brother!" She hoped that with this call, all the day’s unhappiness would vanish, hoping that by morning he would restore the contracts and projects.

The man, seeing her obedience, let the thumb on her chin slowly move up to her lips, fiddling with them while saying, "If only Maya’s little mouth could always be this obedient."

"I will be good," she was also merely pretending.

"Maya, you’re getting better at coaxing people, but who knows..."

"Third Brother, I understand," Maya said, suddenly pushing the man away and slipping under the covers.

Liam Spencer’s intentions couldn’t be clearer to her, he had desired her service for a long time and had mentioned it twice in front of her. This time, didn’t he just seize her weak spot and take the opportunity to threaten her? In Maya’s heart, he had always been so shameless.

Liam Spencer, observing the girl who suddenly hid under the covers, felt her proactive gesture so much that his mind went blank, holding his breath, he laboriously called out, "Maya!"

Actually, he hadn’t even thought of this at all and wanted to say that he didn’t know how long her little mouth could stay obedient, but he didn’t expect her to misunderstand.

"Hmm..." A moment later, Liam Spencer tightly shut his eyes and let out a long moan. Afterward, Maya came out from under the covers, rushed to the bathroom, and leaned over the toilet to throw up.

Seeing this, Liam Spencer immediately climbed out of bed and chased after her into the bathroom. As he was about to push the door open, he heard Maya’s voice from inside.

She said, "No! Third Brother, don’t come in; I didn’t mean to criticize you, I’m just not used to it, it’ll be better next time."

This matter, though not significant, wasn’t unusual either, but Maya had never had a boyfriend before Liam Spencer and was naturally hesitant to accept it immediately due to the abruptness.

Liam Spencer knew she was embarrassed and didn’t want him to see her in such a state, so he didn’t force his way in, allowing her space to adjust herself.

In the bathroom, Maya leaned over the toilet feeling waves of nausea and retching. She clenched her fists tightly, biting her teeth in hatred of her weakness, unable to withstand any assault, hating that she had to stoop so low just to bury her mother in the cemetery.

At the same time, she hated Liam Spencer even more for bullying and disrespecting her.

She tried to control her tears and emotions, but realized that things were no longer as simple as they once were. She wasn’t as calm as before; Liam Spencer had seized her at her weakest point, leaving her with no room for retaliation.

To prevent herself from crying audibly, she bit her own arm hard, letting tears drip onto her arm. Only when her emotions had somewhat stabilized did she take a bath, wash her face, and came out of the bathroom.

To her surprise, when she opened the bathroom door, Liam Spencer was still standing outside, waiting for her.

The moment she saw him, she was startled, then rushed to put on a smiling face, saying, "Third Brother, why are you standing here? You scared me."

The man looked at her reddened eyes from crying and the forced smile, took a deep breath, rubbed her head, and said nothing.

Maya surmised that the man’s anger had subsided, so she furrowed her brows, pouted slightly, and pleaded, "Third Brother, I’m not feeling well, can I sleep tonight?"

When Maya asked this, she was cursing him in her heart.

"Mm, alright!" Her coquettish demeanor successfully earned his sympathy.

So she was hugged onto the bed, cocooned in his arms, and gradually fell asleep. Despite Maya’s hatred for Liam Spencer, she could always sleep soundly nestled in his arms.

The next day, when Maya woke from sleep, the spot beside her was already empty. She rubbed her eyes, looked up at the clock on the wall, and realized it was already one in the afternoon.

Seeing the time, she quickly grabbed her phone, called Sister Jane Spencer, and inquired about the matters she was most concerned with, whether the contracts and projects had been restored.
