Chapter 26 - Justifiably

Chapter 26: Chapter 24: JustifiablyIn an instant, Maya Spencer was dumbfounded, leaning in Liam Spencer’s arms, looking up, motionless, staring at him.

She never anticipated that being so close to Liam Spencer would make her afraid of him, make her avoid him, perhaps because of the unpleasant incidents in the study, which made the place stressful for her.

What she didn’t expect even more was that she would collide into his arms and kiss his lips.

For a moment, Maya Spencer was stupefied, foolishly maintaining her initial posture, completely forgetting to push him away.

However, the kissed Liam Spencer was much calmer, watching the girl’s dazed appearance, his brows furrowed, showing nothing but disdain.

Immediately, he released his right hand from the desk, stood up straight, naturally dodging Maya Spencer’s lips, his face as sour as if he had swallowed a fly.

Looking at Liam Spencer’s sour face, Maya Spencer quickly turned around, squatted on the ground, and picked up the pen holder that she had knocked over.

At the same time, she felt extremely disgusted inside; she actually kissed him, disgusting, utterly disgusting, so without controlling her emotions, she let out a sigh and mentally blamed her grandfather for making Liam Spencer tutor her.

Listening to Maya Spencer’s rare expression of emotion, Liam Spencer’s brow furrowed even more; this woman was actually rejecting him. Who kissed whom exactly?

He glanced at Maya Spencer, who was squatting on the ground, and quickly stepped towards the bedroom bathroom. Soon, Maya Spencer heard the sound of running water and someone rinsing their mouth.

Instantly, her heart filled with anger. She threw the pen harshly into the pen holder and stood up, placing the pen and smile holder heavily on the desk to show her dissatisfaction.

Moments later, Liam Spencer came out of the bedroom, even looking at Maya Spencer with visible contempt in his eyes.

Maya Spencer took a deep breath and flipped the textbook heavily, accidentally tearing the paper.

Liam Spencer, as if nothing happened, walked closer to the desk, stood beside Maya Spencer, and nonchalantly flipped through her textbook, saying, "Go through the recent lessons first. If you don’t understand something, ask me."

When the man spoke, the scent from his mouth was particularly pleasant, even more fragrant than when he was near Maya Spencer earlier, but it only made Maya angrier.

She said, "I don’t understand."

This man actually looked down on her without considering whose hand his current fate was in.

She knew Liam Spencer didn’t want to stay with the Spencer Family or in school, so if he made her unhappy, how could she study well, how could she surpass Elia Spencer? Of course, they’d be unhappy together.

"Maya Spencer, don’t play tricks with me. Do you think you can control my fate? Tutoring you is just to save face for Grandpa. I don’t want to stay with the Spencer Family. Who can stop me?"

"So... put away your cleverness, start reading, do exercises, and if you don’t get it, find me in the gym."

This was the most Liam Spencer had ever spoken since Maya Spencer met him, and it was directed at her.

Listening to Liam Spencer’s warning, she was speechless. Looking at his back, she rolled her eyes and complained, "I couldn’t understand it in the first place."

"If you don’t want everyone to know why you’re staying with the Spencer Family to find the cause of your mother’s death and seek revenge, you’d better fully understand everything and stop bothering me."

"..." This time, Maya Spencer was utterly speechless, standing inside the desk shocked, her big eyes staring straight at Liam Spencer’s figure disappearing from sight.

Her purpose of coming to the Spencer Family had actually been seen through by Liam Spencer. Did he know her purpose that night?

Maya Spencer felt that this man was very frightening. She thought she had buried her heart and emotions deeply, yet in her first encounter with him, she had completely exposed herself.

She held her breath, silently sitting on a pear-wood chair, her eyes vacant, staring ahead, at a loss.

In the study, her mind wandered as she flipped through the textbook, recalling Liam Spencer’s threats and understanding. She couldn’t settle down to read.

Liam Spencer disliked her. If he found her annoying and exposed her, what should she do? Where should she start investigating?

Maya Spencer thought about these worrisome things as she flipped through the textbook. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.

During this time, with the open and secret struggle with Elia Spencer, she was tired and hadn’t slept well for a long time. Finally having a quiet night, she fell asleep on the desk.

In the gym, Liam Spencer was quite surprised; Maya Spencer really didn’t come to find him or bother him.

When he came down from the equipment, he unintentionally thought about the kiss from Maya Spencer earlier. Her lips were soft, tender, like a baby’s skin.

Although it was just a gentle peck, it made him feel extremely comfortable, even wanting to taste more, so he didn’t push her away immediately.

Even though, in the hotel that night, her soft and sweet taste made him slightly intoxicated, but having enjoyed it was enough. He wouldn’t be greedy, especially since she was a sister with impure motives.

After taking a shower, when Liam Spencer returned to the study, he saw Maya Spencer sleeping on the desk.

Instantly, he was angry. He thought this woman would study properly, but she was asleep.

Ha! It seemed he treated this sister too well, so well that she dared to ignore his words.

As Liam Spencer approached the desk, "Pa!" he slapped loudly on the table. The table shook, but Maya Spencer didn’t move a bit.

Liam Spencer took a deep breath, walked further into the desk, and grabbed her fair ear, lifting her up.

"Ah......"

Then, Maya Spencer let out a scream!

When she came to her senses, she saw Liam Spencer glaring at her angrily, and at the same time, she was also furious, impatiently shouting, "You’re crazy."

Liam Spencer’s lips twitched coldly, seemingly mocking her for having a temper upon waking despite her status.

"Let go of me."

"Are you planning to give up and confront me to the end?"

"I’m tired, not studying today."

No matter when, Maya Spencer was always so self-assured, dismissing everyone else, even ignoring his threats.

She said this while stuffing her books into her backpack, then carrying the backpack, without looking back, she walked out from behind the desk.

Seeing this, Liam Spencer quickly chased her. He hated being continually challenged by her patience.

When he grabbed Maya Spencer by the shoulder, she impatiently turned around, knocked his hand away, and Liam Spencer swiftly reached out and snatched her backpack.

Now, Maya Spencer couldn’t accept it, directly lunging at him. Liam Spencer stepped back to dodge, but someone accidentally pulled his pants down, including the boxers inside, and most unluckily, when she stumbled and fell, her face happened to bump into his lower body, knocking him to the ground.
